Giving up on Windows Remember how awhile back, several columnists in the media wrote to say how they were reluctantly giving up on the Macs to join their colleagues in the Windows world? Well, one of these columnists, Douglas Rushkoff, has returned. He is now using an iMac and is happy to be back. He writes: "Now, two years and three Windows operating systems later, I am finally admitting defeat. I understand Windows as well as most technical-support personnel. I can edit a config.sys file and delete bad lines in an autoexec.bat with the best of them. I can partition a hard drive in FAT32, manually configure a dialup adapter and scour my systems folder for obsolete DLL's. But why would I want to?"
