I am not ranting about you in particular just the daily PC tech support/Virus alerts on Free Republic -- this is a political website not a tech support hotline.
You would think Windows users would figure out the problem is not with you, its the computer and operating system you have chosen.
Everyone knows that before OSX, the Mac OS was just as unstable (and hand a tendency of becoming more unstable, depending on the number of extensions) and at times more difficult to use than Windows 9x/Me.
With OS X and Windows NT/2000/XP, its come down to a matter of interface, really, more than anything... Although it took Apple five years after Microsoft to come out with a commercial OS that could compete. We can't say that either OS is original... OS X is really free BSD, and the NT kernel was really originally OS/2 (although completely rewritten as of Windows 2000).
This site is called "FreeRepublic" for a reason. So stop spouting out your Mac-cult religious beliefs. Leave that to Steve Jobs.
As a longtime Freeper, I'll say that part of the charm of Free Republic IS the tech support stuff, and other things NOT associated strictly with politics. Such things tend introduce oxygen into an otherwise rarified atmosphere, and makes us well-rounded political hounds.
Have you ever read stuff at SlashDot - most of the tech geeks there are woefully misinformed politically.
