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

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

I get tons of those "sex kitten" invitations a day in the mail. I sent them to a gent I know who has yet to explore the, err, "fullness" of the Internet. He sent this reply:
"I must say I am totally SHOCKED that you would even consider sending me such smut over the ether waves...You must think I'm some sort of pathetic, sex-starved computer geek with nothing better to do with my time than to spend it looking at pictures of half naked beautiful, young, uninhibited, free-thinking, pert-breasted, flat-tummied, trim thighed, hard-nippled, pouty-lipped, cyber sluts. All I can say is THANK YOU VERY MUCH!"

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

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".
