So, in the gasoline analogy, the Mac would be a "premium computer",

Hi Shawn,
LOL - While this is a terrific analogy and very favorable towards the
Mac, I can assure you that this individual was intent on trying to
prove that Macs were quite inferior to PC's. To follow your Gasoline
analogy, he was referring to Mac's more as dirty diesel and PC's as
Gold/Premium.
He seemed to feel that their PC programmers were completely incapable
of making eBay work on Safari and suggested I upgrade to Explorer 6.0.
I immediately informed him that changing to Explorer in any shape or
form would be a DOWNGRADE and that as I understood, Microsoft stopped
working on Explorer for Mac after version 5.2 because of the popularity
(and superiority) of Safari. There was a fairly long silence after
this....then he said he was glad that he could be of assistance today
and asked if there were any other questions. hmmmmm

I'm a PC admin, as well as one of only a handful of Mac users in my
area, but I can tell you that even the best PC is still worse than the
worst Mac. I know, I own a PowerBook 190, which is generally considered
to be a Road Apple, that ran OS 7.5.2 until only recently. That's beside
the point, though. My point is that many "support" types are too dumb to
support Mac users because "nobody uses them." I still remember the
headache I had when calling my ISP to setup the 190 on my dialup account.
Try using Firefox is all I can suggest. I use it on my PC, as well as
having setup FF on my Grandpa's OS X machine. I'd run it on mine, but
the Lombard won't be in until tomorrow. I'd go ahead and install either
the SafariFox or iFox skin from the start, to get the beautiful Safari
look, though.
