Ärende: One  Wormy users ?
==========================
Hello, Jean.

Oh, no, was never trying to give you a mouthful.  I was saying what you just
said.  There was an excellent article I just read (although I can't remember
where I read it) about how Apple tries to paint its computers as less
problematic as PCs when it's just not true.  You're right-a lot of Mac users
are total...well, jerks.  They're ignorant to how the PC works and a lot of
them use Macs because it's "cool".

I like the Macs because a) I'm familiar with BSD enough to feel comfortable
under the hood, b) I like the tighter software and hardware integration on a
Mac and c) the user interface is something I like personally.  I'll never
completely get away from Windows as there's a single program for Windows that
I've never found a replacement for (and I doubt I will), so there will always
be some version of Windows running somewhere on one of my computers.  It's a
little fact of life that a lot of Mac fanboys like to forget about: Windows is
very ubiquitious (sp?) and sometimes, you can't get away from it.

I still liked running Linux but had to give it up due to very poor printer
drivers for my printers.  I have two great printers and their functionality was
severely limited in Linux.  On a Mac, on the other hand, there are no problems
with the printers; same with Windows.  I've got about $600 invested in printers
here and I'm not going to get rid of those any time soon!

Eh, I've no desire to learn FORTH either.  I can read little hacks other people
have done, but I'm not going to walk through a minefield for a Sunday stroll
either. :)

Later,
Sean
