You did. > i recall I said I am twice as productive on one. Why do pc people > always try and change the wording around? Is it to make yourself feel > better? You clearly made a claim of capability in order to convince another. In other words you made a claim you felt was transferable to another's experience. In this context it's obvious that you were not claiming any special affinity with the Mac that makes you more productive than others: your were presenting your experience as representative. Why do you Mac people make outrageous claims and then invoke special pleading whenever a little evidence is asked for. > My statement wasnt outright false, in any way shape or form.

Your statement is outright false. If it's not provide some evidence: one usability study, one peer-reviewed paper. If you want to stick by the "your mileage may vary" argument, fine. If you want to stand by the statement as fact then put up or shut up - stop providing anecdotal, unscientific evidence and then getting upset when you're challenged on it. We may simply say that your bizarre, extreme experience with Windows has simply been followed with an equally bizarre, extreme experience with the Mac - only the latter has been a good one. I've already made it very clear that I'm, broadly, far from "anti-Mac". Personally I hate them, but that's personal - professionally I use them, test them and even recommend them sometimes. It is a personal preference when you buy simply because both systems are so comparable in functionality, usability and productivity.
