You guys are right. I, and the majority of the computer using public, are totally wrong. We just can't seem to get it through our thick heads though.


Not a matter of right or wrong here. Microsoft is very clever with there marketing. The WinTel alliance has spent a lot of money making sure people think that their solution is the best.


You say Safari is great, and yet I can't stand it because it always "unexpectedly closed".


Don't know what's going on there. But if you think netscape or explorer is not without crashing you haven't got a clue.

Iphoto? Don't get me started. It sux-period. Just buy Adobe and get what you really need.


Adobe what? iPhoto is not built for editing photos. It's simply a way to organize them. I've been using it for three years now without issues. I use photoshop if I want to edit photos.


You say Macs are great biz machines and yet all universities have courses in Excell, etc, but not all have Apple apps courses and most businesses use windows machines.


Again we're talking about marketing and money. Microsoft established itself as the standard early on. Universities cater to the technologies that are prevelent in the market. Just because a university teaches with one particular tool doesn't mean that tool is the best one.

You say Itunes is wonderful, and again, I hate it.

Your the first one I know of that hasen't liked iTunes. I'm sure there are many others but I find that interesting. Why?


Maybe that whole, you can't just click "copy disk" thing due to Apple's fear of copyright suits. But then again, you guys like cars that leak and shift badly. Oddly enough, mine does neither.





Face it-Mac is the beta VCR of computers.


You obviously do not have an intimate knowlege of either.


It may do some things better than windows, but the overall pain in the a*s and extra cost (which is soooo documented, how can even the most staunch mac user argue that point?)



For what you get it's worth the money. As for being a pain to work with, I recommended my friends mother (62 yrsold) to get one and she set it up by herself. Maybe the problem lies somewhere between the chair and the keyboard in your case.


I have no problem with cult followings. Viva Le difference! But, trying to drag some guy into that mess because he doesn't want spam....well. Let's just say you're not doing him any favors.


Neither are you. Each system has it's strengths and weaknesses. I've had many years (15) on WinTel and about 4 on MAC now. I prefer the MAC.
