Negative review of Mac Mini
[link|http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/MacMini2.html|http://www.divisiont...les/MacMini2.html]
When I consider that a good deal of my time is spent running applications like Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update and Ad-Aware--none of which are available for the Mac platform--it doesn't make sense for me to "switch" to a Mac at this time.

So true.

wonder how many scathing emails he's received
by people who fell for it? This one's pretty funny too - [link|http://www.divisiontwo.com/articles/barbieOS.htm|A Linux Distro for Barbie?] "Barbie would also be tired of Microsoft's licensing bullshit," he added Darrell Spice, Jr. [link|http://spiceware.org/gallery/ArtisticOverpass|Artistic Overpass]\n[link|http://www.spiceware.org/|SpiceWare] - We don't do Windows, it's too much of a chore

gonna have my team review and see who gets it
I love her dearly, far beyond any creature I've ever known, and I can prove it, for never once in almost seventy years of married life have I taken her by the throat. Mind you, it's been a near thing once or twice.

my cube mate laughed his ass off
one sysadmin stated "he is too entrenched into windows to understand OSX" another who OWNS mac's thought him a pcjihadist and the rest shrugged. I didnt ask the Director yet :-) they already hang garlic out the office after I forward a link like that.
regards,
daemon

{chortle} Doze 3.x daze..
When I asked a cohort - in a moment of blinding clarity - -
What % of the Apps on your machine are.. entirely about just keeping the fucking OS sort of running?
Sodden thought: wasn't it a pitch perzackly like *this*, what got us the Neoconman braineating plague?
Rilly Wonder.. %who will Get It / who WON'T ?? Gotta follow the feedback, next!

You know what's really sad.
I read your post and linked article first (before commentary from others). I believed it was real. Even the DeVry University MCSE :-) Why, because I've been around dickheads that really think that way for most of my career. They're usually MS Exchange administrators... It isn't really that far fetched that an aggregate (of all the tired cliches) dickhead like this would still be published (notice I say STILL).
In other words, I'm not convinced this is fake... I know this guy. I know a whole army of this guy. They've been in these fora over the years as well (a Dale something or other comes to mind immediately).
I've forwarded this on to my group too to see if they can tell.
Just a few thoughts,
Danno

Please... please, return with the results!

I dunno man, it looked like a spoof to me.
I really liked the "we've got more software to fix the (broken shitty) system than they've got software" line. Very dry, very droll.
