I gave up on Mac a long time ago when I was duped into buying one to find out it crashed more than my windows box (but it did give me a pretty little bomb to look at as opposed to a blue screen with meaningful data on it to figure out what went wrong).

I see. So your experience with a Mac is at least 6 years out of date. . . probably a lot longer. Apparently your psyche was so damaged by seeing the bomb that you hold animosity to a computer to this day. Sad.

. . . when they finally get decent OS they claim "we really really really mean it this time...we even have real multi-tasking like windows NT did years and years ago."

Mac multitasking was introduced in Multifinder in 1988 and included with the OS in 1991. I will grant you that it was cooperative multitasking but it was available five years before Windows NT's introduction in 1993. (Both were eclipsed by the Pre-emptive multitasking in the Amiga 1000 in 1985.)

Have you ever USED an OS X Mac? I suggest that you do not have the experience to make a judgement whether claims are "grandiose" of not. There must be a reason why people who switch from Windows to Mac say they'll never go back. Has it ever occurred to you that the claims are NOT grandiose but are literally true?

Ok, so you rebutted and corrected my spelling of MAC. Whoopdee doo

Now that your ignorance has been corrected about the proper spelling of "Mac" you continue to misspell it. That moves from ignorance to willful ignorance. Your continued use of it probably puts you into the same category as the hackers who want to "stick a lit cigarette into the eyes of Mac users."

If you are so turned off on the Mac, what are you doing trolling in a Mac thread?

There must be a reason why people who switch from Windows to Mac say they'll never go back. Has it ever occurred to you that the claims are NOT grandiose but are literally true?

Ok by your logic the same for the inverse must be true as well. It's too bad Mac lost most users early in on their products life-cycle. Many Mac users went to windows and will never go back.

And when I say Mac didn't have mutlti-tasking...Windows3.1 had multi-tasking, but you know pre-emptive isn't what I was talking about or I would have said win3.1 and not WinNT.

Keep trying to win a point be forcing a square peg in a round hole. Not only do you go crazy when I say MAC instead of Max, but also you try to defend coop multitasking as Mac's multitasking.

I'm not turned off by MACs just their zealot fans. And when I see a thread proving them wrong...I enjoy to see how they come out of the woodwork trying to defend it. It's been a lot of fun waiting to see what outlandish claims they'll make next....and then next month they'll claim they never said that. It's fun to watch the worm squirm.
