"but you immaturely insist on using slurs such as "Mac Fan Boy" in your posts to me'

Slur? Was something I said about your seemingly inordinate attachment to an overpriced teal plastic boat anchor factually incorrect?

It's one thing to have little or no appreciation for a system that is "different" from your experience. It's quite another to have a visceral, emotional need to insult, belittle and alienate others over our preference for a system that is every bit as useful to us as your little home-built concatenation is to you.

I have used Macs since 1986, and I have never wished I had a PC instead. It has an elegant interface, powerful hardware, and everything I need to do my work. How is that such a threat to you that you have to refer to it as a "boat anchor"? (and by the way, they haven't been beige for years.)

Absolutely, and yes, incorrect, and ignorant, and unwilling to learn.
