I like choice and the freedom to choose. You seem to prefer dictates, irrationality, demagoguery and fear-mongering. That about sums up your bag of cheap debate tricks. > If we had a Computer Review And Protection Agency (CRAPA) then MS would > have to pay for toxic clean ups after virus infestations and pay for > remediation to prevent future viruse infestations.

You'd think by now the market would have punished Microsoft with vastly reduced sales and profits as consumers switched to an alternative. God knows they'd have to be under a very large rock to not know about Macs and their billions of ad managers served. A smarter person would have realized that perhaps the problem isn't as bad as they think it is and obviously that consumers get something of much greater value to them by using Windows PCs than worrying about malware. People aren't as stupid as the elitist snobs here think they are. They're largely rational and will buy what brings them the greatest value. If they thought Macs would give them the value they need, they would have. By a staggering majority, they haven't. Were this a presidential election, "landslide" and "mandate" would be the words heard utttered the most. Oh, and if you want to properly channel "House," you'll need more than to call people idiots for not agreeing with you. You need to be not only irreparably damaged, but also brilliant. Any ass can be a malcontent. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
