Desktop Unixes and Mac Users

I find it Ironic that many Mac Users bash Unix, yet now they praise OSX because it is based on Unix? But maybe they bash other Unix platforms?

The PC platform may have some things wrong with it, but it is usable enough if configured properly and with the right hardware it can be decent. You can see that many here work with a PC happily enough running Linux or OS/2 with no complaints.

I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

Argh! Why are Mac users so WHINY!!! - (tjsinclair) - (93) - July 18, 2002, 01:22:16 AM EDT

But here is my point - (orion) - (76) - July 19, 2002, 09:10:32 AM EDT

Excessive diversity - (tuberculosis) - (75) - July 19, 2002, 09:43:25 AM EDT

That sounds painful - (snork) - (69) - July 22, 2002, 11:09:40 AM EDT

Not all of the PC Industry - (orion) - (68) - July 22, 2002, 12:49:08 PM EDT

Figured you would say that. - (admin) - July 23, 2002, 05:25:41 PM EDT

The PC side - (andread) - (1) - July 22, 2002, 07:07:25 PM EDT

Hey somebody gets it! - (tuberculosis) - July 23, 2002, 04:25:16 PM EDT

What about the light pen interface? - (orion) - (9) - July 23, 2002, 01:39:50 PM EDT

Did your computer come with one? Does the mac? Not ubiq. - (tuberculosis) - (8) - July 23, 2002, 04:22:45 PM EDT

So what? On the PC the mouse is optional. - (orion) - (7) - July 23, 2002, 04:32:10 PM EDT

You're off topic - (tuberculosis) - (6) - July 23, 2002, 05:01:22 PM EDT

You're off your rocker - (orion) - (5) - July 23, 2002, 05:27:22 PM EDT

OK, I'll make this simple for you - (tuberculosis) - July 24, 2002, 02:58:34 AM EDT

Au contraire - (wharris2) - (19) - July 23, 2002, 03:10:14 PM EDT

Don't tease the Mac Fans - (orion) - (2) - July 23, 2002, 04:13:29 PM EDT

You miss the point - (pwhysall) - (1) - July 23, 2002, 04:38:16 PM EDT

Big deal - (orion) - July 23, 2002, 04:49:47 PM EDT

Think Not - (tuberculosis) - (15) - July 23, 2002, 04:48:04 PM EDT

Price, even if you like it or not, always is a big factor. - (orion) - (14) - July 23, 2002, 04:58:46 PM EDT

So low price is a PC "innovation" copied by everybody else? - (tuberculosis) - (13) - July 23, 2002, 05:06:55 PM EDT

The point is innovating to keep the price down, better bang - (orion) - (12) - July 23, 2002, 05:36:03 PM EDT

Maybe - (tuberculosis) - (11) - July 23, 2002, 05:45:24 PM EDT

You apparently don't seem to see a lot of things - (orion) - (10) - July 23, 2002, 06:16:39 PM EDT

What systems are those then? - (pwhysall) - (9) - July 23, 2002, 06:19:28 PM EDT

Expandable in which dimension? - (tuberculosis) - (1) - July 26, 2002, 03:39:55 AM EDT

Not only that - (orion) - (5) - July 26, 2002, 12:03:18 PM EDT

You still need Office - (tuberculosis) - (4) - July 26, 2002, 03:49:08 PM EDT

But Office isn't part of the OS - (orion) - (3) - July 26, 2002, 06:38:14 PM EDT

Sure it is - (tuberculosis) - (2) - July 27, 2002, 11:18:10 AM EDT

But I already have it! - (snork) - (3) - July 19, 2002, 12:06:17 PM EDT

Good point - (tjsinclair) - (1) - July 19, 2002, 05:17:56 PM EDT
