Boycotting Apple?

[2nd Post!]

Man, is there even enough consumer support for people *to* boycott apple?

I mean, I own a Mac, but I was wondering how many other people do...

So I guess what Apple is saying is:

Can't Beat the Real Thing?

Heh...who needs lawyers, just rip off Coke's slogans.

Moose.

Windows is good for nothing. MacOS (I've used versions 7.x through 9) is great for running graphical applications where 99% of the input comes from the mouse.

I fail to see what makes MacOS better running graphical applications with (almost) only input from mouse. Is that because you only have one mouse button and you have to use CTRL to emulate missing second mouse button? Is that because the lack of proper memory management that requires you to select beforehand how much memory you need? Or is it missing pre-emptive multitasking joined with almost zero memory protection that practically quarantees lost work when you're running multiple applications at the same time?

I'm not saying that Windows 95/98/Me/2000/XP is much better, but definately they are at least equal for a given application (like Adobe Photoshop or something like that that exists for both platforms). In addition to multiple mouse buttons I have mouse wheel and 200Hz refresh rate for my mouse movement, even though it's not the default. In the end I must admit that MacOS has better color management, but I take it you didn't mean this with your comment.

If you want to make MacOS to look better you should probably compare it to X11...

It's really, really, nice. Too bad most people are too cheap, or cannot otherwise afford, to play with Macs.

I could be sitting at a G4 right now. I turned it down, because I *wanted* a PC.

It's not just the price; It's the open system, it's the easy availability of hardware and software, it's knowing that I'm not depending on a company known for screwing its users and partners for support.

I'd rather see Microsoft rule the world than Apple. At least under the Microsoft system they'll allow a black market. Apple would destroy it utterly - Witness their jihad against the various Aqua-themed software packages out there.

Don't make your arrogant assumptions about people not using your silly platform for monetary reasons. My reasons are practical, but have nothing to do with cash -- Or very little.
