You still driving that G4 or did you move to a Windows Machine?

He's on a Mac. Why would he downgrade?

You don't buy a wide guage train when the tracks are all narrow guage.


They've been wide-guage whereever I want to go...

Any time you want a piece of software, you have to get a special
version (and no I won't use the emulator).

No, I don't. Most of the software I use has no equivalent on any other OS.
Hogwasher, for example, is a Mac-only newsreader. If I need to use some
Windows-only software, I move over to my Windows box. The fact that I
haven't
even booted my Windows box in over three weeks should let you know how
affected I am...

If you are looking for a particular piece of software, chances are the
first one you find will be for windows.

Nope. Not the stuff I use on a daily basis.


Why use a minority?

Because it does what I want, the way I want to do it, when I want to do it,
and doesn't give me any grief.

Minorities must be extinguished.

Now you're sounding crazy.

Poor PC

That part is right. If you're poor, you buy a PC. Two out of the
three mac users I work with have bought PCs because Apple prices are
"absolutely stupid".

"Since any reasonable person would choose a Mac over a PC, Apple's
market share does provide us with an accurate reading of the percentage
of reasonable people in our society." -- Roger Ebert, Film Critic

"Sure," a teenage boy replied. "My father's new car."
