I didn't claim I had more control than a Mac using OS X. I haven't used OS X
much. You're making a big assumption. As for OS 9, hell yes. If I want a
specific program to open a document in Windows, all I have to do is change
the file extension. I can even invent a new extension if I want. If I want
one JPEG to open in Mozilla and the other to open in ACDSee I can do that.
On my Mac, I have a bunch of RTF files that insist on opening in Simple
Text. Sure I can increase the memory requirement (which is something that
isn't necessary in Windows) so Simple Text can open them but they're still
garbage. Instead I have to open word and then open the RTFs from within
Word. That's a major hassle. I also have to manually increase the memory
Obviously never heard of drag and drop or many other OS9 shortcuts! Amateur!
allotment for IE if I want Flash to play properly. Something I never had to
do in Windows.
Not something you need to do more than once actually! "Like it's hard?"
Mac users are brainwashed you said?Yes.
Most Mac users are at least aware of other platforms/operating systems. So in fact they actually use more of their brain than most PC users!
Yes, they're very obvious when they arrive. If I see one I delete it, I
don't need a virus program to do it for me. I've never had any problems with
viruses.
y Viruses are obvious? Hmmmm ... given the amount of damage done to Windows PC systems worldwide up to this day I would say that you may eventually come unstuck. But of course never opening attachments (or using Outlook) would cover most cases.
Sorry but there is far too much BS for my to respect anything you say after this. I don't viruses because there are none for Mac OS X. You claim your wits protect you eh? Don't know much about security do you.
Actually I do. I know enough that I don't need a OS that nobody makes viruses for to protect me.
Well the security model for Windows has the look of Swiss Cheese, while OS9 is virtually impregnable (unless ports are left open) and OSX is almost as secure (hard to compare at this point).
I never said Apple was a cult. Yes Apple makes crap, but I didn't say
everything they made was crap. Yes Windows is good, and yes PCs are better.
PC's are better? As what, paperweights? Nice fiction!
Not all of them, but I can definitely find or build a PC now a days that is
better than any Mac nowadays. 5 years ago that wasn't the case. There wasn't
If you could run a half-decent operating system on it. Not many good choices
and none as good as OS X. Of course, if you are not a Power User, Windows might
do for the usual PC pursuits. Linux or BSD (or BeOS even) would be better choices!
anything better than a Wallstreet in the Laptop world. Today there's
definitely stuff better than a PowerBook G4. The competitor from each range
is from a different company but it's still there. Apple is too small to make
the best product in every category. So is every other PC maker, but there's
a lot more PC makers out there and they can specialize to a degree that
Apple can't.
And if this were true there would lots of laptops worth buying out there rather than the vast majority with mediocre design. At least Sony has something close to a clue and IBM is trucklike at least.
Dream on, Dingo.
