You were saying ...

Awhh, can't afford a Mac, so you resort to insults of a persons intellect.

Oh..., I think he can afford one, because it's no problem to someone who knows what their own time is worth.

It's just that some people figure that their own time is worthless (you know..., the ones who can't get a job, so what is their time worth? LOL...) and/or they really don't have anything else to do except fiddle and fiddle with their computer to keep it working -- so in that sense, a Mac would be "very strange" to them... They would end up with way too much time on their hands, with a Mac, and what would they do? LOL...

When I bought my first Mac, it came with productivity tools (MacDraw, MacWrite, MacPaint), and worked right out of the box. The cabling was all clearly labeled with icons to help connect everything up.

I had a FatMac, with an internal 5meg HyperDrive, and used MacDraft as my biggest tool. I set up my first Mac and printed a rough floor plan within a half hour of getting it out of the box! Of course, I printed it on a 24-pin ImageWriter, which I later replaced with an SE and an HP Inkjet. I was (almost) in heaven!!!

These days, I have a home network using different iterations (Intel, PPC) and different OS's (OS9, 0SX 10.4, .5, .6.2) with a G4 340 as a server. I don't play games, but do have Windoze so I can use the only MS product I like... Flight Simulator X. I still used the old one which worked up until Mac Sys 8, but with the intel chip, can use the modern product...

Wow, nice classic Apple user snotty response.

You obviously dont have much knowledge of computers if you seriously think because I use PCs that I spend my time messing with computers to keep them working, while some guy with a Mac never once has to ever service it.

Which is odd because Apple stores have “genius bars” to fix machines that supposedly are issue free, and I also suppose all of those pesky stories of DOA iMacs and other issues you find on many Apple help forums are just figments of our imagination.

And for the record, I owned Macs in the past. Gave one (G4) to my mom as a matter of fact. The thing never worked right, and had to replace it with a PC.

I guess the Mac was junk. Glad I knew the value of my time and switched her to PCs?

Isnt that the “logic” you guys use?

Like I said, keep your Mac, and the RDF you guys are high on 24/7.
