Has anybody ever thought and wondered for a moment, why you need a "Wintel" software emulator for your Mac, but yet, nobody ever seems to need a "Mac" emulator for their PC.
I'm totally aware that having a less widely used OS will isolate me unless I make adjustments.
So I have Virtual PC (essentially giving me two computers in one box), MacLinkPlus Deluxe, MS Office for Mac, and Stuffit Deluxe.
FWIW, it's a good thing PC users don't require a "Virtual Mac," because their machines couldn't pull it off.
That being said, MacWindows would be a good investment for Windows users. It's a great translating engine that is the reciprocal of MacLinkPlus.
But on the Mac, there as those as tunnel-visioned as the ravenous loons championing Gore.
Some important reasons why a Mac might appear to offer more than a PC:
1. The Mac is a hardware/operating system MONOPOLY. You have one choice - Apple. Exactly how would this 'outrage' continue were it as popular as a WIN/PC? What has Microsoft done that even compares to this, and yet has attracted the Anti-Trust economy destroyers?;
2. When you standardize on quality hardware, peripherals, and software, the WIN/PC is extremely robust. But many disaffected WIN/PC owners purchased the cheapest basement clones their brother-in-law could find them, bitch about performance, and then blame Microsoft;
3. The lack of popularity of the Mac has lead to less cutting-edge, less-frequent and less-adventurous hardware and software development, which is always more prone to instability. When you're running fast, very fast, sometimes you bump your elbow - deal with it.;
4. Most virus writers could give a flying f&#! whether they take down the 217 computer users still running a Mac. Superiority? Mac's are just a poor target, compared to the rich target of Microsoft users. Ask why 9/11 didn't happen in Tijuana;
5. Interestingly, in my experience, Mac users are a breed apart - somewhat kindred spirits to Democrats!
- Notoriously narrow-minded and incurious - ignorance is bliss;
- Image-oriented ("I want a blueberry iMac!");
- Narcissistic, pompous;
- They blame their problems on other people or things;
- They prefer that the world would just stop - "no more changes, OK?";
- They are actually comforted by limitations - makes 'em feel cozy;
- They think they are 'cooler' than the rest of us. Apple 'culture' marketing is a sham. You see, Gates is a geek, Jobs wears black turtlenecks and is a bit-o'-the-rogue. Laughable!
There was a time when the WIN/PC vs. Mac wars were at a fever pitch.
Kicking Apple nowadays is like swatting flies - the necessity remains, but the challenge is long gone.
