>>Right....Again, how many times have you posted on this list through its existence and for what reasons? I'd go as far as to ask what you've contributed to the discussion of VoiceOver, but that would be pointless as well as you'd only drag up some spurious claim bolstering your position.<<
I have been very clear about the times I have posted on this system and you have yet to prove that I've made ANY so called spurious remarks. But my latest post not withstanding the replies was with regard to the dual boot solution, to which you've demonstrated a lack of intellectual honesty or courtesy. >>Please, stop the madness. You made your point in your mind and, maybe, to others. Fine. At least I'm trying to keep the list on topic and not attempting to perpetuate a pointless debate.<< Evidently, you don't get the point. But the person who has been most responsible for getting this list off topic has not been me. It's been you. >>You support Windows and its faults, as does even my youngest brother. Again, fine. If you don't like having your OS bashed or whatever you term it, well, you are on a Mac user list.<< Yes, this is a Mac user list. But it isn't a Mac fan club. I am not anymore a proponent of Windows to that of Mac OS. I could really care less if you bashed Windows. What I do not appreciate is how you accuse me of having a predilection for "list controversy" while you turn around and antagonize everyone who does not share your point of view. >>Unfortunately for you, at this point, there are many more articles and pieces of information appearing on a daily basis that support my so called claims.<< Just because you happen to suck at research doesn't mean there are more articles supporting your claims. >>I just got a few more which indicate entire countries now officially moving away from Microsoft towards open source solutions, which now includes Japan and Norway to an already lengthy list worldwide. I wonder why?<< Which is not to say that they will adopt Mac OS. In fact, the European Union itself seeks to abandon Windows entirely in favor of "open source" alternatives. Again, they are not adopting Mac OS, which (by the way), while it is based on open source technology, is not open source. So this may have less to do with alleged Windows inferiority as it is with geo-political sentiment regarding American economic or technological imperialism. Or maybe, it could have (as Germany has indicated) have more to do with the pursuit of standardized access of information. "Entire countries" huh? Perhaps the "entire" citizenry of Japan would like to know of their pending migration. >>Anyway, I see no point in continuing this, so if you choose to respond, that is your choice. This has wasted time and filled mailboxes for no good reason other than someone being upset over having MS's weaknesses pointed out.<< Either you are a liar, or extraordinarily stupid, but most likely both. This has never been an issue about you bashing windows. It has been an issue about you bashing me and others. >>As for the weaknesses of the Mac, well, funny thing, even us blind Mac users have been rather specific and direct about them and can deal with that reality.<< Apparently you can't deal with reality. You have claimed no less than three times that it will be the last time you would respond to my post. When you are challenged you bluff claiming that you have facts that (incidentally) you are unwilling to have to dig up. I guess it's all that busy work being "Managing Director" huh? When you are pushed even further, you claim that the discussion is either "off topic" or that you are beyond the very arguments you start, thus posting for the last time on the subject matter etc... Then after someone else like Access Curmudgeon responds, supporting your position, you engage in cross talk regarding the same topic you say to which you would not respond. This is the mark of a coward sir, and I'm sorry to say, that you are pathetic for doing as you do. You too Mr. Curmudgeon. You may claim that your next action is to ignore me. But I know you are reading this post; and while I may not hear back from you, knowing this is all the satisfaction I need. I know that both of you hate to be wrong. You wish to appear important among your peers. Perhaps this is the reason why Mr. Panerese fancies himself a "Managing Director" for a company of one; or why Access Curmudgeon feels it necessary to be his sycophantic enforcer. Brilliant gentlemen. I hope you are proud of yourselves. I will continue to post on this system. If you wish to avoid "list controversy" or "getting off topic" I suggest that either A, you do not address or talk about me on the list, or B, when you do, that you are respectful. Now, as I am certain that you are scarcely capable of the latter, you might just want to stick with the former. Ciao
