Re: The Gadget Show

[Susan Platter]

Yes, I saw that - my husband recorded it for me, because of the Mac v 
PC thing, but he agreed that it was silly. It was so simplistic it just 
wasn't true. I'd never seen The Gadget Show before; it looks pretty 
stupid.  I do use a PC, for accounting software and for certain games, 
but I would always hope to have a Mac as well, simply for the pleasure 
of using it.

Grrr! The Gadget Show is really annoying me now.
When they dropped the G4 Mac 25 feet onto concrete and it broke, 
they=20
deemed the kit overpriced and expensive to repair.

When testing a ruggedised PC laptop which can withstand bullets, 
they=20
tested it by dropping it about 4 feet onto a pad. And then claimed 
it=20
was well worth the =A33000 price tag.

And also, it's worth noting that the guy who did the Mac vs PC tests 
and=20
deemed the PC superior works on a PC magazine for his day job, and=20
covered his personal website with lots of blurb about how Mac users=20
would be getting in touch complaining about his testing approach 
because=20
it was too realistic for them to handle.

GRRR!
