uh, no! i've been on Dan's list for a long time, and helped a lot of people with their apple gear, and i've got a garage full of old macs. just telling the plain and honest truth. sorry guys, if apple is your religion, you need a fuller life. like i said, at least twice, i love, love the mac os. i should also say that i despise windows, actually preferring dos on x86 machines.
you'll recall i did say i'm learning *nix, not something microsoft likes at all, particularly considering the open source thing that he really, really hates and is spending big money trying to discredit. but hey, if you don't want to hear about the problems with macs, please feel free to bury you're head. you'll also note that i said the new g5 machines are supposed to be kick ass, as apple finally hired a good hardware designer and listened. if you think there's a good reason you have to fork out $50 for an adapter to use someone else's digital lcd monitor rather than apples, by all means send me some $$ as well, and dan, we could both really use it! if i were in the market for a top end machine, i'd even give the g5 a good look, though to be honest it would probably wind up with open bsd or another *nix on it....... the first desktops i used were apple II's, and in fact i've got one of those as well, loved it! woz was a genius, the rest were marketing droids and clowns along for the ride and providing financing to someone they knew was a genius! apple's share would be a lot larger if they had always been able to use vga monitors without adapters, and if other silly proprietary scams had been eliminated. an analyst on cnn a long time ago said it best, apple has a long history of having the best product, and the worst management. but hey, if the heat makes you cranky, then by all means call me a troll or a gate's plant, though i've said an awfully lot of negative things about micro-sponge and their products before. get over it folks, all, ALL big companies are corrupt, even apple, that's what happens when you have a soul less beast with lots of money. (by definition in the u.s., a corporation is a fictitious person, and one of the main reasons for incorporating are to avoid personal responsibility for your decisions and protect your own wealth, stolen from that fictitious person).
