That wasn’t sarcasm, it was obedience.

Microsoft Windows is a frenetic boy scout, doing good deeds, but insisting on telling you when ever he's done one and demanding appreciation;

Yes, the anti-Apple bigots just don't get it, and will never appreciate Apple equipment because they simply have blinders on and refuse to try Apple.

MS Windows is a misguided boy scout, insisting on dragging you across the street against your will into cross-traffic - even when you wanted to go the other direction. I've worked for years as a Windows admin, constantly rescuing users who were pulling their hair out when Windows misbehaved. That's not the case with the Mac users I've helped; generally they just want a few pointers and are not in need of rescue. Plus I've worked as a Unix admin and can agree with you that OSX is a far better platform than Windows.

Then where is your answer? There were some specific questions to which I requested replies. If you are obeying, where are your replies to those queries?

[donna]

I know nothing!

Ignorance is curable, Donna. i'm trying to help you cure it.

Whoever did that vid (and the dumb@$$ who created the .GIF in # 25) had too much time on their hands -- and too little intelligence in their skulls -- like the "Apple users are gay" posters, here.

Apple users apparently are also crybabies....typical of homosexuals.

Your continual fixation on protesting homosexuals is over-the-top, just too much. . . there's a syndrome associated with that having to do with your latent homosexualism. I suggest you look into getting some psychological therapy on coming to terms with your urges.

Coming from an Apple Social Media Troll such as yourself, you ain’t saying much.

Oh, you already knew what I've told you? Good. Get help.

[CodeToad]

“Get help.”

I’m not the one with the social media troll job and a stiffy for Apple products. You are. Seek professional help.

Apple computers are certified and trademarked UNIX™ computers, and every user is a couple of keystrokes away from a UNIX™ terminal which gives them far more control of their computers than the vast majority of Windows computer users have of their computers.

What version of Windows are the small minority of users that do have that kind of control running?

Read what i wrote. . . not what you wish I had written.

I did. If that CLI gives the Apple users "far more control of their computers than the vast majority of Windows computer users have of their computers", then there must be some small fraction of Windows users that are running something that does give them that level of control.

If you know enough to say the vast majority of Windows users don't have that level of control, then surely you know what the remainder are running that does have it.

You've been told repeatedly that i am not employed in any such job. That makes you a liar to continually repeat that accusation. Liar. Get help for your overwhelming need to post in threads that should not interest you in the least.

Like Ted Cruz and Rush Limbaugh.

There are always exceptions, but not many with Apple fanboys.

All 800 million of us? You are delusional. . .

This Apple user cried about nothing.

Let me clarify: if you physically approached me, instead of hiding behind FRName anonymity, I would gladly kick your candy @$$.
