Linux just keeps getting better and faster every year. I still have to run the 'doze OS from time to time for some legacy proggies that do not run well under Linux, but then again the Wine app comes in quite handy for lots of those as well.

Surprised the macophiles have not jumped in yet. I remember one loon who was frothing at the mouth at Me not too long ago when I pointed out how his apple bricks were good for little more than paint and poster projects.

Kind of reminded Me of this one graphics chip programmer who swore up and down that if people would just listen to him, his beloved graphics chipset(s) would simply run rings around any standard cpu with a little tweaking of the basic OS.

And, of course, they show really pretty fonts for when you need a fancypants terminal to chat and send messages on:

Surprised the macophiles have not jumped in yet.

It is well known that sophisticated computer users use Macs as their personal computers and run Linux on their servers.

I count at least six MacBook Pros in that "Dumb terminal" photo you posted, which depicts the JPL control room during the successful landing of Curiosity on Mars in August of 2012. Here's another view of the scene.

BBB333 and Defiant,

Well, it looks like facts just don't matter to some trolls. You criticized me for pointing the facts out to Utilizer, and challenging him on his claims a month or so ago. . . but here he is again making the same claims but misrepresenting my factual evidence (one of the JPL Mars lander control room photos) to spread his lies. . . despite being presented with definitive contrary evidence. How "Democrat" of him. He won't let truth stand in the way of his agenda. LOL!

Follow his posts in this thread and the comments from some others who catch him at it!

Utilizer's Apple Mac bashing post

I told you this is what these guys do. He never did come up with a computer to beat that MacPro. . . and couldn't answer my example of my iMac that runs several versions of Windows, Linux, Unix, in sandboxes under OSX. Do you understand now WHY I respond to these trolls as I do? Their FUD needs to be countered. They do it deliberately. . . and they know it is a lie.

By the ways BBB, I am not a dentist. . . I manage the dental office of one of the top Dental Implantologists in the world. My education is in Economics and Business Administration. Our head dentist started out as an aerospace engineer before leaving that career and going back for a doctorate in dentistry. . . and he knows several of the people in those photos personally and keeps in touch via email. A couple of them have dropped into the office. Since we are 100% Mac, they talked Mac with us. . . and their personal computers are not used as "dumb terminals," as Utilizer claims. They've been very pleased to see iMacs, MacBook Airs, MacPros, and iPads being used in a professional environment.
