I don't have those problems, I don't have clean things out constantly, and I don't run virus scanning software. I don't have problems in app switching, or anything like that. > LOL, ya know I hated macs back then too, OS X is just a TAD bit different > than those you are referring to. How so? Did they completely overhaul the interface? It didn't seem to me that they made many changes in it. Did game creators and other companies start porting their software? > If a mac cant do what you need then thats your fault, thats operator error > and how do you know it wont do what you need?

I need applications that don't come with the computer. I need third party applications that aren't developed for the Mac. > You havent actually asked anything logical yet.

I've asked plenty of question. .NET compilers are there? What SQL Server management interfaces and source control interfaces are there? After they switched over to the Intel platform I had a copy of OSX that I installed on a spare desktop. It was neat, but I went to do things, and Safari didn't work with the web apps, so I had to download FireFox to test with. I couldn't compile code, and I couldn't manage Database stuff. It took me all of two days to learn that there wasn't anything I could do with it but test applications. Which isn't a big deal because the people I write for are IE users with XP. > What kills me are people like this, they blabber on about how bad a mac > is and yet they havent even used a current one, thats just dumb! > The difference between Apple bashers and windows bashers is that most > Apple bashers have no clue at all, probably never even seen a mac in > person.

I've administered networks with Mac and PC systems, I've worked plenty with Mac OSX and the ones before it. The cost is one thing, the upgradeability is one thing, meaning swaping out hardware myself, and being able to keep the same system for several years replacing hardware as I want to. I need something that can do everything when I need it to. OSX cannot do that. Apple so much as admitted to this with Boot Camp, and the new Parallels stuff that acts like Citrix. I'm not going to buy a Mac only to learn that it won't work for me. I need to be convinced that it will work for me before I spend the money. I know what does work, and have never been able to get a Mac to do everything I need. I'm not going to virtualize applications just to run them in a different OS. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Deploy Web Applications Quickly across the enterprise with ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2 Free Trial http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=RVJU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:230882 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
