Plus, say you do have an OS 9 box, and you use Mac.com for your email. If you have Win at work, Macs at home, or vice versa, what are you supposed to do about getting your mail when you're on the "wrong" platform? Sort of goes against the whole platform-neutral bent of the 'Net!!

This is why it'll be a ghost-town. At least if you're going to do a platform-bound website, choose the default platform. It's something Microsoft could do, but thankfully aren't. Apple doing it is a big joke. They don't get the Internet.

"Ask not what the Internet can do for you, ask what you can do for the Internet."

That's the only algorithm that works.
