I gave my extended family an ultimatum — get a Mac or I drop support. They did and now my phone never rings.

I gave a few copies of System Mechanic as Christmas presents a couple years ago to relatives, a lot of calls stopped.

As for myself, I would never own anything from Apple, as I started out on the old 8088 machines with DOS.

I have been hosting a visitor for the last two days.
He came with his apple laptop. While I got him connected to
the network, many things that he wanted to do would not work, such as Yahoo.
He gave up and went back to my Windows XP computer.

I know nothing about Apple, but he claims that .exe files do not work on his Apple, and thinks that is why he can not use Yahoo... I do not have a clue.

I am sure the Apple lovers are of a select esoteric group.
Piss on them. I go with what works for me and universally
the world standard.

Which from the looks of things may have nothing to do with computers.

Yep, I did almost the same thing. Though I actually bought my sister her first Mac after too many instances of phone support for her and my Dad. Now they both use them I am practically never bothered.
