Visit an Apple store and take a look; you might find that Macs have an enormous appeal that really has to be seen to be appreciated. Apple users love their computers; if you just think your computer is a boring old tool, well, we pity you.


Do you think I care if some GAY HAIR SALON OWNING MAC USERS pity me? My case goes under the desk, and thus I don't care what it looks like. There is no need to pay 3x the money for half the power, and 1/1000th of the application support. It's hilarious how Macs have to go out of their way for Win emulation. That really says it all right there.

Mac is the homosexual's computer of choice!

This may be the dumbest thing that I've seen or heard this week, and I've been dealing with some pretty stupid people!

"Win emulation?" This allows Macs to run Windows programs, something that's an afterthought. An add-on that allows to user to run some software that isn't available for the Mac. It's not meant to be used all the time. The fact that it runs at all is something.

A computer is a tool. Nothing more, nothing less. In the business world, you use what ever tool it is that gets the job done, at the lowest cost, and with the greatest productivity. That being said, the vast majority of graphic arts businesses historically used Macs. They still do. While Hallmark (you know, the card company) has many thousands of PCs that they use for business purposes, they do much of their graphics work on Macs, or on high end graphics workstations, like SGI systems. Go to any litho shop and see what they use for their art work... It'll probably be a Mac. Print shops? Macs. Kinkos? Macs and PCs, but they prefer Macs for their high volume stuff.

All that being said, I have never used a Mac. However, I've set up lots of networks that needed to have Mac access to the network resources. That's a nice thing about the new Novell NetWare 6 OS. It allows native Mac access to the server and other resources.

Calm down, guy.

The more homosexual guys there are, the more single women are left for the rest of us. Seems to me the ideal situation would be if all men but you and I were homosexual.

Encourage homosexuality - it's the best way for us to compete!

Macs are identified with creativity, not one sexual preference or another. And quite honestly, you don't sound like a creative guy, so I hope you enjoy your PC.
