It runs everything but it is a cult phenomenon.


Only if you use wireless internet, wearing your Birckenstocks and
Tilley shorts, at Starbucks while admiring your freshly washed
(with recycled water) Toyota Prius.


And carry a Moleskine notebook just like Ernest Hemmingway.


Truth is... I run Windows XP Pro very reliably and quickly on my
Mac.... at the same time as I run OSX Leopard.
All I want from a computer, is to get my work done. I don't want to
know from .INI's .bat's and such.
I have 3 macs at home and I spend about 1/2 hour per month doing IT.

The farking PC at the shop needs a LOT more attention. I guess I'm too
stupid to operate a PC? Running that thing, is like needing 26
wrenches in a specific order to change a fricking routerbit? Those
PC's are horribly underdeveloped.

I wrote my first program in 1965. I worked with software and hardware off
and on until 2001 - and still muck about. I Hate PCs. Anytime I've ever
upgraded Anything on a PC it his taken me ALL Friggin DAY to get the job
done. My son is a sysadmin for a national company. When I need something
done I call him and he helps me fly it into the ground. I Hate PCs. But
I've got way too much invested.
