I'll admit that MS puts out some real crap, what's worse is that the
company I work for on contract owns a decent browser, yet insists on
using IE as its integrated browser. Though, if it weren't for that
crap, I wouldn't be employed, so I can't complain too much. It's
infuriating to troubleshoot Windows boxes all day, but unlike many of
my coworkers, I come home to something different than what I deal with
all day.
Though, Apple has been friendlier towards those of us with
neurological issues. I've been using PowerBooks since I was diagnosed
to avoid flicker prone PCs. I still work with computers using CRT
monitors, though Macs tend to have a higher default refresh rate. My
Windows headaches started before the machine had a chance to blue
screen!
