930addict-"You obviously do not have an intimate knowlege of either."
I'm not so sure how that's obvious. But to help you out-a little backround. My business (electrical and medical systems installation-networks and computers too by Golly) was spawned from the first retailer in Milwaukee to carry vcrs. Yes- They were beta. They were huge and expensive. I lived and breathed those machines. I've forgotten more about Beta VCRs than you think you know about Mac computers. I've had Mac computers since 1982-quite a bit more experience than you my friend. I know their strengths and weaknesses as well.
I have many friends that swear by them as you do. However, their applications are for publishing. For business they all use Windows. You and the other Mac groupies are so quick to attack someone like me without even understanding what we're trying to say. Maybe it's some sad need to justify your purchase. I've never said all Macs are bad. I never said they have no applications. I have said that for the average user, like Pwd, windows is the way to go. I have also said that my iBook sucked and based on that, I will not buy another consumer based mac product in the near future. Should I go into porn video production or mixing rap, I'll consider the Mac as the correct piece of equipement. But then I'll probably spend as much for my computer and periphrials as you did on your 930.
I'll give you this-you can certainly put a spin on this issue. Costs? Please. How does that affect-again-the subject matter-a guy who surfs the net? His cost is the machine. Period. Macs cost more-period. Photo organizing? What's that? I simply place my photos in a folder. There's your organizing. Hey-try this. Burn a bunch of photos from your beloved iphoto program onto a disc. What's with all those sub-folders? Oh? You can make those go away? But why do I have to?
So junior, I get the feeling you don't know nearly as much about Macs OR Beta VCRs as you say. You would know about the common problems that I have mentioned and have better answers than "Don't know what's going on there". Well said-pretty much sums it up.
