Mac Rants

There's a piece by Scott Wasson regarding the claims of Apple, of late, and his...feelings on it. It's a pretty ranty piece, as he says in the beginning, but it's a good discussion starting piece - even tho' I disagree with him to a degree.

    Shut up. You're a fucking infantile moron, and in no position to judge anyone. Go fuck your neighbor's dog instead.

    It was probably the comment about Special Olympics. Takes a pretty lowdown, spineless person (like a Troll) to insult (retarded/challenged/differently abled) people.

    The Mac will still continue to sell as long as it retains its appearence. I've met many Mac users who did not care that the performance was lower, they just liked the thing because it looked cool. I must admit, the moniters that you can get for the cube look much better than the 17-inch grey thing I'm looking at now. Besides that, the Mac is a good choice for those who want a user-friendly system, but who are sick of Windows crashing every time they nearly get their work done. It's true that the Apple's computers run slowly, but there are other factors that some users consider to be more important.

    At this point in history, a L3 cache is many times more important than a floppy drive. That is an indisputable fact. The exceptions to this rule are trivial.

    On the subject of Mac-is-better-than-Windows-is-better-than-Linux:

    I have been a Mac user for years (mostly by virtue of the fact that both my parents are teachers) and have worked the past 3 years for a practically all Mac school district doing repairs/upgrades and maintenance. Having built my own PC (Win2k/Mandrake 8) when I went off to college last year, I can categorically say that I would go crazy if I had to administer a 700+ machine PC environment. The ease with which Macs are administered is astonishing. Sure, there's not as much to the machines, but from the guy who has to administer them's point of view, that is a definite good thing.

    Also, about the whole 1 or 2 button mouse deal, I would have to say that after using X Windows and Win2k, I sorely miss that second mouse button when going back to a stock Mac. (Having said that, I plugged my IntelliMouse Explorer into an iMac last year, and it used the wheel with no problem w/o IntelliPoint being installed.)

    I've never understood why some Wintel zealots hate Macs so much. They're a niche market, and nowhere near overturning your beloved platform. Why even bother expending the energy to hate them?

    Yes, obviously you're right. Windows is better than Mac, I bow to your superior logic. I don't know anything about computers, which is why I do research and evaluation of emerging technologies for a living. I haven't met anyone other than Win fanatics who think that the iMac sucks, and most hard core Mac users I know have at least one (of course, they are all graphics and video production people so they must not know anything.).
