Glenn, I get hit so many times by Mac users as to how great the product is. If it were so great it would be more popular! And if Apple hadn't stuck it's head up it's ass in the beginning they could have captured a larger market share.
It is a great graphics machine, but that is about it. It has bugs like every other software product on the market. It has it limits like everything on the market.
Hackers don't write viruses for it because, there aren't enough Mac's for it to matter, most of them are most likely Mac user's that hate MS, or most are anti-big business socialists that believe they are doing the world a favor.
The truth about Mac's is it almost went the way of the betamax video format because they couldn't give the piece of crap away to an unsuspecting public.
B.S.
Hackers don't write viruses because they won't propagate. It's more secure from the ground up.
most of them are most likely Mac user's that hate MS
Most hackers are Mac users - now I never heard that one before !
Isn't it pretty dark up there where your head is?
Apple - a "dying" company for over 28 years now...
Beta is actually a superior format to VHS. The reason VHS caught on is that Matsushita (the parent company of Panasonic, which developed the VHS format) licensed the hell out of it and propagated like a virus through electronics stores. More availablitiy means more purchasers, means more VHS taped in video rentals. Beta died because it was marketed poorly by Sony.
I work with PCs at the office and Macs at home. I do the same work on both machines. My work is easier, faster, and more enjoyable on my Mac. The equipment and software are made for people who want to use it, not for people who want to keep fiddling with the guts of their tools.
Stockpirate, drop the PC arrogance over the relative numbers. More people drive cheap and widely available pieces of junk than drive well-made, well-functioning cars that make the driving experience enjoyable. The same goes for computers. This thread started as a communique to people interested in an update to the Mac OS. Why do you feel compelled to attack with the same faulty info every time the subject comes up?
And to top it off, they are expensive as hell.
Well, prices are not that bad anymore. But, it used to be you could get a good Pc for a lot less than even a bottom line Mac.
