My website, hosted on a Mac? I can already see William Goodall
ROTFLHAO... :-)
(For the non-chatters: William and I keep going on against each other about
the inferiority of Windows or Mac OS; poor misguided William still believes
that the Mac OS is the superior OS...)
It *can* be superior for people who have no reason to fuss with settings. I think of Macs as perfect for people who never, ever look under the hood of their car.
Many people use Macs with little or no problems because they use a computer for a single purpose. They will reliably run the same 2-4 programs over and over again without crashing. My aunt ran Quicken, MSWord, MSPublisher, Excel and Internet Explorer on her PC for four years. (That's all she has a need for.) She never, ever changed anything, but the computer had constant problems -- all OS related. I went nuts trying to keep the thing from crashing with blue-screen o' death in Win95 for four years.
Bought her a MacG4 last year. It runs MacOS 9.04. She again runs the same programs, never changes the settings and never, ever crashes.
Is her experience typical? Who knows. The Macs in my office work decently, but I can't stand working on them if I need to do anything complex.
Perhaps it's all subjective :-)
