I have read your article, and. as I understand it, the principal
benefit of your HP running Windows is that you get "a lot more for
your money". But you also say that Mac/OS X has a better integration
of components/hardware. As you uut it "Mac always just works".

Returning to the point, I (PowerPC user) have used Aquamacs,
Emacs.App, Carbon Emacs, and emacs bundled with OS X. As much as I
like Aquamacs, and have contributed to it, I find Carbon Emacs (for a
PowerPC user) to be closer to what I expect from emacs, especially if
I am trying to share my .emacs file from other systems. In my
experience, what I miss most from Aquamacs is printing, and I wish the
other apps could deliver what Aquamacs delivers.
