Is that a comment on the futility of such an effort, or is it an ill-informed attack on the statement itself?

Take it however you'd like (since you are gonna believe what you want, anyway). I'm just a happy Mac user who (over the years) has seen the worst attacks coming from the side of the PC gang. Like I've always said, PC users tend to be cranky...

Cheers, CC :)

Will the new mac mini have it to coincide with Tiger's release?

I thoroughly agree with you on which side most of the attacks are coming from. I'd like Mac users to take the high road, though, since (just between you and me) we have chosen the superior format.

Agreed.  Why do arguments start every time?  I have my preferences, Mac users (and Linux) have theirs.  I am not wrong in my personal choice and neither are they.  How come each side feels the need to "convert" the other?

I used Macs for several years and currently use MS and Linux (dual-boot).

They all have good and bad points, none are superior to each other, just different.

Ooh, this promises to be important to something like 4% of us. ;O)

Yes, the upper 4%. ;-)

I cruise the PC threads because I use one at work. I go home to a Mac, however, and I try very hard to stay informed on both. When Longhorn comes out, I will be very interested in its new features.

This week, though, it's Tiger. All Tiger, all the time.

Because some people take their OS preference into the political arena.

Yeah, that's what I need my clients screaming for, another new operating system.  I just got everyone into '.Net' and now this?  Thankfully, it'll be at least a year, maybe more, before the "stable" release.

I'm getting too old for this.  =)

Understood. My wife uses Mac for graphics production. I use this Dell for organizing our client lists, billing and Freepin' :o)

I'd like to see Mac and PC threads that don't get hijacked by arguments every time.

I'd like to see frogs with wings that don't bump their a$$ on the ground, too, but I don't expect it anytime soon...

I am not sure about mac mini, but there are rummors of possible updates to iMac G5, and other models this week, possibly on Tuesday.

Odd that I've never seen a thread that started out bashing Apple. Occasionally someone will post a reference to theoretical security flaws in Macs or in Linux, but most threads like this start out bashing MS.

And how to search it. LOC...Widener...every library is going to be digitized and online. Who's going to be first with NL search capability?

So, they don't realize that it is just an operating system, not a way of life (or is it?)

What cracks me up is how excited Linux users get when the market share goes up a tiny percent ... why?  None of them own stock in it ... what's the excitement for?

Most?  That's putting it mildly ... usually it's right in the headline.

I think that's coming out in 10.4.1, when they address the security issue of pigs flying outta my butt.
