Answer 1

Hello jacqueline_desserts,

I have a 400 MHz PowerMac at my work (I'm a printer) and a 1GHz TiBook at home. I love them and can't wait for my work to upgrade my equipment to the newer MacPro some day.

I look at all the Dells that barely made it a couple of years before needing to be replaced and the army of IT people needed to keep them going. The Macs in our company aren't supported by our IT department. We have to take care of them ourselves. Fortunately, that's not a problem.

Don't be too hard on multi-button mice. I've got a nice one that works great with my PowerBook. :-) Oh and Ken M, Apple has been the biggest distributor of Unix in the world, but with the difference that you can run Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suites (not to mention Windows). If Windoze is so great, why does Microsoft always try to copy the Mac OS X features (and look)?

Oh well. Different strokes for different folks. Leave them to their viruses and spyware. Take care jacqueline_desserts. Happy computing.

Don't you know that everyone is converting to *BSD and GNU/Linux just as fast as is possible?

Mac is Darwin BSD, with GNU goodness. Thereare some 25 BSD distros and over 500 different Linux distros.

Answer 3

If crapple is so great, why are they going to offer windows software?I bought a mac one time to see what was up, and it was a lot like a Linux knockoff with a high pricetag.
