And if you mean those under powered little crappy Macs, you get what
you
pay for. Plus in Canada, they don't price them fairly, about 30% more
expensive here. So I boycott the idiots.
Granted, BSD UNIX is better, but I run that in a VM.
That you run cheesy PC's is no concern of mine. My work requires a good
word processor, a good email client, good software to prepare
presentations, and web creation and editing suites, and some other
mainstream business software, All of that runs nicely on my iMac and
Macbook Pro.
OpenOffice
Thunderbird
Firefox
GIMP
KompoZer
Wireshark
VirtualBox
PGP and more.
Dozens of others.
I can run open office, t'bird, firefox, gimp, PGP, kompozer, and
probably virtual box under VM. So what's your point?
His point is that he isn't stuck with a proprietary, overpriced nintendo...
Bingo, I don't even have iTunes on my PC's. Apple software gets ahold of
your computer and tries to take over. I think Apple products are for
people who can't do things for themselves, thus they like having
software do everything for them.
PCs today on main line equipment is just as good.
It was a problem in the past, 2003 was plug and pray. But I doubt much
Apple equipment circa 2003 is in use any more either. Computers go
obsolete in 3 years, no sense in spending too much on them.
And I too don't load the Apple crap ware for the same reasons.
