Further, why use something that goes against english conventions and refused to use a capital letter at the begining of a proper name?
Not sure what you mean by that. I use caps all the time -- in naming files, or wherever. Can you elaborate?
iMac
iPod
iBook


Very funny but I think he was referring to file and folder naming conventions?

While I must say I prefer Mac to Windows, I prefer Linux to Mac.

I prefer something I can get other people using without a few comp sci classes, a stack of reference books and the ability to understand command line interface.  :D

Other than that, yes - Linux is better.

Stack of reference books? I've never read one manual and I've introduced many people to Macs with a good set up and one hour to show them what to do and they are fine. My 86 year old father has a ball with his, does EVERYTHING with it, and rarely calls me for help. I've never heard the complaint that a Mac was too tough to use!

And that's the beauty of Mac - you don't have to use the CLI, it has a most beautiful GUI. I use the CLI because I run PHP/server from mine but most people don't even know what that is and would not have the need.

Yes - that was my point.  :)

What command line interface? You could use Linux for a year without ever realizing there was a command line interface.

Or, you could be like some people who have briefly borrowed my computer, and used Linux with no problem, and without realizing that's what you were using!

Actually it's not. It's based on BSD Unix....


I stand corrected(even thought I'm sitting).

QuoteI'm not dumb, however I prefer my computer to look like a computer rather then a piece of my furnture.

I did not think mine looked like a piece of furniture...my laptops are laptops and my desktop is basically just a screen...

The desktops remind me of something like those swing away lamps.

QuoteWhy would I want a Mac when I could build a linux based machine that does exactly what I want and I don't have to mess with closed source systems like iTunes, or any of the other junk.

iTunes runs on your Windows system...

HA! You think I would waste my time with iTunes? I use VLC for all my viewing and playback needs.

Sure, iBook, iMac, iLife, iTunes, i-Whatever(personally if they had a iMasterbate, I'd think about buying one).

Perhaps I should have been more specific in gender then I was. A male masterbating device. I'm really not into sticking things inside me. I don't knock it for other people, but I was tied up once(and it was both my first and last time) and my partner at the time thought it would be fun to stick something up my ass. I of course refused and lucked out because I as able to clench my cheeks together tight enough to stop it. Of course that intimate little episode stopped right then and there and for a few days afterward as well.

People forget what a learning curve windows presents to new users.  I had a friend that was utterly PC illiterate, and I taught her on Ubuntu and Open Office. 

A year later she started taking classes and bought a laptop.  She called me and told me she hated it, had no idea how to use it, and "just didn't want to relearn anything".  Exactly what windows alcolytes say when presented with Linux.  :)

Mac is a beautiful center point between the two user experiences.  But it's all soon to be a wash, anyway.  Sun was right about one thing: everything will one day run from the web.  I already use Google Spreadsheets over desktop spreadsheet programs.  Google doc hosts my r

Q --   here is my solution:

Take firm hold of PC laptop
Hurl into nearest trash
Buy a Mac
Turn on Mac
Connect to WiFi instantly
NO software needed
No more headaches

;)

:D ;D
Reminded me of a former employer I had.  When training me on the proper paperwork to print, he explained how to get the printer working.  "push the green button a couple of times, if it still doesn't work, pick up the printer, drop it, then push the green button a couple of more times".  He was actually serious.   ;D
