SHOW ME ONE POST WHERE I USED THE WORD "IDIOT"! You will not find it, Discostu, because there is not one. None.
I have said that you were ignorant of the Macintosh... and every reply you made just confirmed that. But ignorance is not a slur. It just means that you don't know something. It is not an insult.
Just one example:
You said: . . . the fact that it took them (Apple) to the mid 90s to finally stick a print buffer in the OS shows how entirely non-revolutionary they always have been and always will be.
You claimed that the Macintosh computers did not have a print buffer in the operating system until the mid 1990s. You offered this as "proof" of Apple's lack of innovation. I pointed out your claim was wrong! Apple included "background printing" in their OS since they introduced the Multifinder, far earlier than the mid 1990s.
You dismissively replied: There was no print buffer in System 7, at least not one that would be remotely useful.
You tried to defend your stance with an anecdote about your experience printing a large document in a library and your dissatisfaction with the Macintosh. This merely demonstrated how your limited experience with a public Macintosh computer running OS7.x in a Library lead you to erroneously believe that the Macintosh did not have a print buffer. You then extended that erroneous assumption to claim that System 7 did not have a print buffer AND that Apple did not see fit to include a print buffer in the OS until the mid 1990s. You then uttered your erroneous OPINION, based on extremely limited experience, as fact, and used it as an example of proof of something entirely different.
I then, again, provided MY professional experience as Mac network administrator to demonstrate that your claim was wrong... and ignorant of the facts. Discostu, the reason you could not use the print buffer in the library computer was that SOMEONE TURNED IT OFF! That, my friend, is ignorance. It is not stupidity, it's just not knowing.
You, however, extended your error by claiming it as a "truth" even when presented with the actual facts. There is no insult in pointing out that someone, claiming knowledge and pontificating as an "expert," making claims that are patently untrue, is ignorant of the true facts. Why should you be allowed to base your arguments on erroroneous, mis-informed opinions?
When you could not acknowledge that perhaps you were wrong about your "facts" you became dismissive and claimed insult. It doesn't wash, Discostu.
Admit it, Discostu, you really don't know much about the Macintosh operating systems... especially OS-X. The real point is that you CAN learn. . . if you want to.
As for OS X I really don't care what I'm missing.
Perhaps you don't want to.
The first step in learning is to realize you do not know something.
