You are actually calling us cretins because we buy Macintoshes???
What the heck is wrong with you??
Cretin is hardly a word to apply to fellow Freepers who simply choose to buy another OS than the one you use.

I wouldn't worry too much about what Bush2000 says. Nobody else does.
I think that he (she) either works for Microsoft or is one of those MSXX certification types who hasn't figured out that he (she) owes his (her) livelihood to the fact that Microsoft produces garbage software. Either way, it severely damages his (her) credibility on such issues.
I have made a very good living for quite a number of years, largely due to the fact that Microsoft has created such a huge market for people like me to come in and fix problems that would have never occurred in software produced by a good software company. For that reason, I really like Microsoft. If they were to start making good software, a lot of people like me would have to start actually working for a living.
But, it's because my time is so valuable and I therefore don't have time to fight Microsoft problems on my own computer, that I use Macs, for my own business and home computing. After all, every hour that I might have to spend fixing problems on my own computer, would be an hour that I couldn't bill to a client. I'm not trying to get people to switch to Macs. I will, however, admit to the vice of having a bit of pride, in being one of the relatively few people who has the sense to recognize a superior computing platform, in spite of the massive propaganda from Microsoft.
I just let what Bush2000 says, roll off my back, since he (she) is obviously a Microsoft bigot (for whatever reasons) and probably just feels a natural desire to preserve his (her) pride by slamming those who he (she) realizes, know that his (her) pride has no real foundation, in fact. I can't really blame him (her) for doing something that I might well do, if I had bought into the Microsoft propaganda and were stuck using a WinTel box.
