Macholes = aggressive apple fools that know nothing about computers past what Apple’s marketing department tell them to think...
Ahhh ... another “Apple naysayer” who can’t help themselves and their OBSESSIVE COMPULSION of jumping in on those Apple threads ... get into “treatment”, it might help!
Thanks man, I appreciate it.
I make my living doing computer consulting - sometime Windows, sometimes Mac.
Depends upon the situation and the budget...
Personally I despise Windows 8.0/8.1... I have several Macs and have an Apple ecosystem in my home and I encourage others to do the same...
Yet I make a disparaging remark about Apple and I get hammered! Very funny!
The Apple guys just don’t get the real world - we don not all live in Californistan, nor do we want to.
Again: Thank, man, I appreciate it!
That is very strange you should think that. Do you realize that the actual fact is that most Mac users are MORE knowledgeable about computers than Windows PC users because they are generally ex-Windows users, Expatriates from the Windows environment or still Windows users at work. . . who have CHOSEN to use Apple Macintosh and there for know BOTH platforms, while YOU only know one.
I, for example, have run a cross platform business and computer consulting business for the past 35 years. I know both platforms intimately. My Mac runs OS X.10 Yosemite and UNIX. Under OS X in virtual machines, I run THREE, count them 3, versions of Windows, Windows XP, 7, and 8.1. I also run two versions of LINUX. I have on occasion run ALL SEVEN OPERATING SYSTEMS SIMULTANEOUSLY! I also have installs of MS-DOS, THEOS, Amiga-OS, and several others that i can run under emulation if I so choose on my Mac. I keep them around so that I can run them if a client needs help in those more obscure systems. The more common OSes, I keep handy so that when a client calls with a problem, I can either quickly step them through the menus with the menus in front of me on the same system, or I can remote in using my Mac. You are like a mono-lingual speaker in a country that does to speak your language. Mac users can speak both languages. YOU can't.
You suffer from MAPS:
Swordmaker's and Kathy's proposed diagnosis for the new ICD-10 addenda:
90210 iOS Munchausen's Apple-Plexy Syndrome (MAPS), The overwhelming compulsion to post negative, judgmental, aggressive, and false commentary on any website thread related to Apple products wherever found, including phobic reaction to projected Apple user euphoria. First and subsequent encounters.
Did you really think you added anything constructive to this discussion by insulting every Apple Mac user on FreeRepublic?
Apple software and computers just work.
You do not have to fix and repair it every other day like the Microsoft garbage that’s full of security holes, viruses, Trojans, spyware and jacked up Registries. How much time and money is lost repairing your computer every other day???
Apple is about to roll out their watch. Where is Microsoft’s watch?
What about that Microsoft phone? How are sales?
What about Microsoft’s Surface? I don’t hear too much about that either. Perhaps it’s the bright colors that appeal to little children, much like crayons, but has no appeal to serious computer users.
Apple, Amazon and Google are all spanking Microsoft.
