<< The local paper has a Sunday columist who writes a weekly computer fixit
column which is usually filled with obscure PC glitch work-arounds. On
several occasions, just to be a pain in the ass, I e-mail him advising him
that he left out a line in his column: "Of course, if you had a Mac, this
would have never happened." >>
Did anyone catch the one "System Expert" that, when asked about reading a PC
disk on a Mac, said it was not possible!!??!! The system in question was an
SE w/SuperDisk, just like my old system. He had NO idea that with PC
exchange (yes it works on an SE) that you can read a PC disk. I emailed
him.......NO reply. Emailed back w/exact workup on system.....no reply.
Sent a note stating that if he knew so little about systems the local paper
should cut his column....and copied the newspaper! Finally got a call from
the newspaper (not the columnist), he's going to "note it" in an upcoming
column. The NP guy did mention he has an iMac, too and was irritated by the
same column. He said he'd keep an eye on this!
