Apple derangement syndrome? No actually I find apple products to be useful and good even if they are over priced. I find the extreme leftist tilt of the company to be distasteful.

I also find the holier than thou attitude of Mac proponents on FR to be obnoxious and quite offensive in many cases. For example Star Travelers statement that all windows developers are unethical on another thread about a month ago.

BTW, have you seen the latest security patches released by apple?

Most of the time it's in response to baseless claims and general apple hate.

You were saying ...

I can understand the feeling that you're expressing, when you come across Macintosh users who are overjoyed at coming out from under the Window morass of software. Their exuberance must be disconcerting to one still stuck in the Windows morass... LOL...

But, who can blame them for being overjoyed at being able to use a computer as it should be used by people -- something made for people and not for geeks... :-)

But, you just have to realize that this is reality and if someone "wins the lottery" and is jumping up and down about their good fortune -- that no matter how offensive that is to you (for not having won the lottery and having to continue to work, in the meantime) -- it's not that they're trying to be offensive -- they are just too happy about what they've got.


For example Star Travelers statement that all windows developers are unethical on another thread about a month ago.

Well, I would say that the Windows platform having over 100,000 viruses (or even quite a bit more) -- says, all by itself -- that there are a whole boatload of "unethical Windows developers" out there... LOL...

Of course. I always post them to FR and ping the Mac Ping list. The last one for OS X.6.2 was release 2009-006 and was released November 9, 2009. There was also a Java security release on December 3, 2009 and a release for Safari 4.0.4 on November 11, 2009.

And your point is?
