not really. I never knew of accessories for Wintel machines that would not connect to a MAC. What accessory was it?

Repairs are virtually non existant on a MAC and easily done if needed. Except for recently, Wintel machines were basically a piece of crap. The back room was full of hardware that broke down, monitors that crapped out, etc within a year of getting the newest 386 machines. That is when I bought my first MAC and it lasted years longer than the 386 was ever used at work. BTW, I first started programming in 1965.

Short term thinking led many to buy wintel machines.
