I'm the farthest right wing conservative you're likely to ever meet,
not rich but not poor, and white. I only use PC if there is an
absolute reason for it...and that is extremely rare. All of the best
networking tools work best on mac.
Thank you,

Republican boys like to date democrat girls but marry republican
girls (and later cheat with democrat divorcees).
Democrat girls like to date democrat boys but they are all too
poor and stoned and majoring in liberal arts or political science.
Republican girls just run around with each other getting drunk
until some republican boy sobers up enough to ask them for marriage.
Poor republican boys get reality shows involving guns, mud,
moonshine and wrestling animals in a swamp.
Poor democrat boys wear shirts with political causes printed on
them, hang out with Goth cutter girls and smoke cigarettes.
Give a republican boy a welder and he will make a swamp buggy out
of an old VW.
Give a democrat boy a welder and he will turn it into an objet
d'art symbolizing the military industrial oppression of the worker.
And that is why there are so many apple haters here...

I buy all of my groceries at Walmart and most of my electronics at
apple. There are a lot of apple haters on here it seems.
I can walk a customer through setting up their AirPort Extreme a
lot easier than Asus, netgear, or dlink. The Apple interface never
changes. It's the same for every model. The others change their gui
quite frequently.
Thank you,

I remember telling a customer he should either learn how to
configure his AirPort himself, get AppleCare, or get a regular
router like a Linksys or Netgear with a web GUI if he expected his
ISP to provide step-by-step phone support.
He said he would go out and buy a non-Apple router.
He came back with a TimeMachine.
That's another thing I hate about Apple, they have to use special
names for ordinary things, so people don't compare prices. So you
don't have a router, you have an AirPort. You don't have an
external hard drive, you have a TimeMachine.
But just like some people only shop at WalMart, some people only
shop for electronics at the Apple Store. Probably the same people
who buy all their groceries at Whole Foods.

No doubt.
The least they could do is to give it a web GUI. Beyond me why it
has to
be some proprietary interface.

the stupid AirPort admin tool works every month or two. So even

knew how to set it up in August; come September it's a whole

Software developers need to do something.
