I can buy multiple PCs for the price of one Mac. The PCs run Solaris,

And if you mean those under powered little crappy Macs, you get what

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

Snerk. I can buy whatever computer tickles my fancy. I switched away
from Windows machines a few years ago. The Apple OS is pretty much Unix
with a candy shell around it. I've programmed a few things, but I'm not
much interested in programming. Never was, though I did learn how to
program in Pascal years ago.

You know Pascal is a sissy language for beginners. Probably as far as
you got.

Your comments about Macs are just further evidence of your ignorance. I
simply prefer the Macs these days. Your concept of "overpriced" is just
a reflection of your limited capabilities. The hardware and OS in my
Macs are more than capable of handling my business and personal
computing needs.

Hey, money no object and excluding value for the money, Apple is a good
machine.

But price up a quad-processor laptop with 17" display and 8gb of RAM and
1TB HD, Apple pricing sucks the big one for value and are no better or
different in the end.
