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 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.

Don and I made simple, straightforward offers. Your son iLoogy was

No you didn't. You set all kinds of rules that would suggest a straight

coward like you would take... We know you are dying to use your widdew

All kinds of rules?


You mean:


No meeting without advance notice
Prior and proper identification mandatory
Meet *here*
No weapons


Hey, I know life for you is a mystery, but the conditions offered were
simple and straightforward.


You forgot to mention your hired thugs.

One of the hard drives on one of my aging Apple
computers has been
dying
for a couple of weeks. It finally gave up the ghost
yesterday.
Called
Apple Care and the tech suggested about four
different ways to
try to
resuscitate it, to no avail.


So he made an appointment for me at the local Apple
store. I
showed up,
tech said "go to lunch." Came back 90 minutes later,
new hard
drive in
machine, running diagnostics.


No charge for labor or parts.


Love it.


Wow! just how old is that computer and was it still
under warranty?


Two years next month. When I bought it, I paid about
$100 for a three
year extended warranty. It's really nice...if I have a
problem, I call
Apple Care on the phone and usually the English
speaking person who
answers can work out the difficulty with me doing
what is
suggested. If
not, the rep makes an appointment for me at the local
store.


I just reinstalled my apps and data back on the
machine from a backup.


Since most hard drives are warranted for 5 years by the
manufacturer
these days that seems like a great deal for Apple. Most
computer
problems are caused by bad hard drives. That has been
true for a long
time, pretty much since the end of the card reader and
open reel tape
drive.


Usually the problems with rotating media is with a lot.

Such an obvious setup. As soon as he makes plans by email as harry
requires, shows up and shows his id, he is gonna' be arrested and we all
know it...



Arrested for what? Showing his ID? You really are stupid.

Let me see. You get him to say he wants to kick your ass here, you get
him to send a message setting up a time and a date, you get him to show
up and act on the threat and produce ID to prove it's the same person
who threatened to kick your lousy coward ass, and you won't call the
cops? snerk You have called the cops on at least a half dozen folks
here in the last ten years, why should this be any different?

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.

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.

Apparently Harry isn't man enough to accomplish the task on his own.
What part of Harry's quote do you not understand?

Harry said the following:

"It will be my pleasure to *have* the **** beat out of you. No
guns,
no knives, no clubs. And that will be the end of your posting here,
for
which I will receive a public service award."
