Microsoft doesn’t make computers. And when you buy an Apple, you are supporting both Apple AND Microsoft.

And you are correct, Apple is employed by mostly gays, hippies and abortionists. Why would I support them?

Plenty of more links there for you to look at lady.

And, once again.... two wrongs don’t make a right. Using one wrong to justify another wrong is... well... wrong.

I’ll say it again, because you are slow on the uptake:

Microsoft makes an operating system and software. Apple makes a computer.

PC’s are tools. Apple is a lifestyle.

A PC can be run with any number of OS’s, you don’t have to choose microsoft. A PC can be scratch built with any number of components, from any manufacturer you want. An Apple cannot (well maybe it can, but why bother?). If you buy an Apple computer, you are supporting both Microsoft AND Apple.

If you build a PC, you are only supporting one, if you choose windows (which most folks do), but you are not supporting the LIFESTYLE of the Apple.

My sole criterion as you state... is not political donations. Its the whole gayness of Apple, and the whole liberal lifestyle that it promotes. Ever seen an Apple commercial?

I have to agree with this guy on his take on it:

I don’t agree with the little Che icon though, just that I’m not “hip enough” or “gay enough’ to own an apple.

You've said that several times. What ARE you talking about?? How does buying a Mac support Microsof texcept in an extremely minor way... Perhaps a few dollars per computer in some minor patent licenses? Most of them have expired or are balanced out by patent licenses that Microsoft has to pay to Apple when ever MS sells a copy of Windows or when they sell an X-Box.
