For years you posted here how superior Apple computers are to Windows PC. How they were more powerful. And for years I told you that Apples "more powerful" was overkill for the average consumer. who only needs web surfing and light office. That Windows was fine and reliable for this.

I was proven correct!!! Apple came out with iPads and Iphones which are just dumbed down computers without much power or multi-tasking and the cud chewing herd moved over to them and are happy with these very weak computers. Of course their advantage is in

long battery life
portability
connection "anywhere" via cellular networks so you are free and un-tethered

But I was proven correct. Apple sold over priced desktops and laptops to dazed sycophants, urban gays and hipsters and prestige-seekers that had more power than they needed. While a Windows machine would have sufficed for one third the price. BTW the Apple GUI sucks compared to Windows 7 and 8. Windows 8 is a very clean interface.

And for years you misrepresent my argument. Superior does not equate to "more powerful." Superior has a much larger set of components making up "superior" than just power. . . which I outlined for you many times. The most important one was security, safety of use, ease of use, user interface, productivity, total cost of ownership, and a how all those things work together. YOU IGNORED ALL THAT.

All that mattered to you was PRICE. You know the price of everything and value of nothing. That establishes your value. Enough said.

LOL! ROTFLMAO! Tell that to the business I spent three hours at today with Windows 7 and Windows 8 computers installed that got invaded by malware . . . and hired me at $100 an hour to remove it from their computers that had now started working so slowly as to be unusable and were logging their key strokes. . . and had Norton Anti-virus installed but defeated by the malware, shut down, locking out the installation of anything to remove it. It came in on an "oh, so innocuous" tool bar that moved through their network and installed itself and its malware load on every Windows computer on their network!

I had to isolate every computer from the network and remove it individually. ARGGHHHH!

Your vaunted Windows has accounted for hundreds of billions of dollars of lost productivity over the years. . .

It sure is!

Microsuck licensed it from McDonalds. It’s the same interface they use on their cash registers so that high school dropouts can push buttons...
