Thought they would be going for a Durango D-basic.

Just got my copy of The Aviator on DVD yesterday. On the back, like many of my DVDs, it says "The DVD-ROM portions of this presentation will not run on Mac OS".

The software that runs my business won't run on Macs.

The (few) games I like won't run on Macs.

WinXP Pro is stable on 6 systems at home and work.

No wonder Macs are at 1.5% or so.

Once you go Mac, you never go back.

Ironic this article is on Network world. I haven't had much experience with Macs, but from what experience I have had with them, they are the most network unfriendly computers I've ever worked with.

Nothing wrong with a Mac...

except (for me),

I like to upgrade frequently (without buying a new computer).

Many of my favorite programs (including FS9) are not available for the Mac.

High price of components due to single source.

High price of hardware/software for the Mac.

For some, it is a fine piece of equipment...although a bit overpriced.

I am able to work from home because my home PC can communicate with the PC at the office. If I had a Mac, I would not be able to do this, and I'd have to waste my time driving to work every day.


I have no doubt that the current generation of Macs are good computers, if the iPod is any indication - they just don't suit my present needs.

I like the blue screen of death, at least you know there is a problem, MACs however just die without warning.

He refers to Dell technical support as "New Delli." Now that's funny.

There is one over-riding reason that I'll not buy a Mac.
AL GORE is on the board of directors.

According to "Unlimited Access" by Gary Aldrich, the Clinton Administration junked all of the PC's that Bush had left behind and we taxpayers paid several millions to buy new Mac's for the Clintons. Might this be a reason Mr Gore landed a spot on the Apple Board of Directors?---NAH! Impossible.

Even though I'm a security guy going on 22 years now, my day-to-day work is pretty much like everyone else's.

Winn sounds incompetent.  Based on what I've read by him, I wouldn't give him a second interview for any technology position.
