I actually got two working Mac Plus and in my closet and one Mac LC and one Mac LC II. Ohh those little Plus only had a 20MB HDD. It all feels like yesterday :P - sLydE, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1nuts, I have 2 working plus as well. Wait, your's had a hard drive? I always had to swap freaking floppies.

I think that's a misconception of the results right there. For example, as I'm typing this, my Mac is underlining any misspellings I'm making. If I were using Word, it would be auto-correcting simple grammar mistakes. While the modern PC doesn't get things done any faster from the purely empirical perspective, it's still doing a *lot* more stuff that does definitively increase productivity.
