"Buy a Mac. "

"Don't start that. I have been a Mac user for well over 15 years and I have had my share of viruses. Not many, but enough to be annoyed by them. And now that the Mac uses Unix, they are now even more of a target."

Save your energy. Mac users are zealots. They are insecure that they are out of step with the rest of the world, so they cover it with that elitist attitude. Not surprising that Mac users tend to be liberal! :)

Watch it. As I said, I've been a Mac user for over 15 years.

I heard a rumor that MAC users don't fall down.

I woke up and the sun shown in my face. I made coffee and logged onto my e-mail. I've surfed a few CONSERVATIVE sites. Yes, life's good being an insecure elitist--a Goldwater Conservative Apple-user insecure elitist, thank you very much.

It's like that old saying: Wealth doesn't buy happiness but at least it buys something.

If by zealot you mean devotee, yes, I am a Mac devotee. I've never owned any other kind of computer, and frankly have no reason to own any other kind. I'm perfectly happy with the Macs I've owned over the years. I've never had service problems, viruses, or anyother troubles with my Macs. If you find something that works well for you, why change it?

I'm far from being a liberal or insecure, and I could give a rat's ass if the rest of the world thinks they're one step ahead of me. I own and use a computer for my benefit, not anyone else's.

Oh, I'm a Nissan zealot too!

Ah, the Mac vs. PC thing. Word of advice to Mac users: don't bother explaining why you use a Mac. You have the competitive advantage that most people don't, and by encouraging others to switch to Mac, you'd in a sense giving up your advantage.

I'm a developer, and have 3 Macs, and 3 Windows boxes, a wireless network in my home, etc. I strongly prefer Mac, but just don't care about "The Argument" between the platforms.

FWIW, my wife has PC-Cillin on her PC. I don't have any virus software on my Mac. Never have gotten a virus, ever, in 15 years of using Macs. I even open up viruses I receive in emails, just to see what they look like. Cocky, hm?
