hmmmm

Since both platforms now have pretty much the same software available and
CPU speeds are competitive as well as the avialablity of 3D cards I feel
it comes down to which OS you like Mac or Windows 95. The other
platform to consider is Windows NT the hip 'multi' everything OS that is
much more efficient then Win/95 because it lacks the GUI overhead. I just
became interested in VRML 2.0 which at the moment only has a player for
Windows/SGI machines so MAC people are out of luck.

more soon,
