  1. Solution to: I HATE MAC'S by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Solution to your problem.

    After analysing your post, I have determined that you have been upgrading computers the wrong way. The following is a list of problems and the appropriate solutions:

    1) Alowing yourself within 30 feet of a computer. Though not harmful to normal humans, this close interaction may cause irreversable harm to people with less than 20 brain cells

    Solution: Do not get within 30 feet of a computer

    2) Allowign yourself to perform upgrades on a computer. Although getting within 30 feet of a computer may make you delerious enough to think you know something about them, the truth is you don't and you never will.

    Solution: Ignore such delusions and never allow yourself to repair or upgrade a computer

    3) Lack of intelligence and common sense.

    Solution: None, this is a terminal problem who's only solution is to take a shotgun, highpowered rifle, explosive or other violently destructive device and delete yourself from the gene pool.

    Hope this document clears things up. Please forward any further questions to help@microsoft.com

    Am I the only one in the world who hasn't had to go through a clean install of Windows while going from 95A, through every upgrade including betas of 98, to 98SE - current patch set? This hard disk has been in 3 different machines during that time also. WTF is up with people that call themselves nerds and can't keep Windows working?

  3. OS X upgrades well worth the money by hayne · · Score: 0, Flamebait
    My boss knows about Jaguar, but his opinion is that he shouldn't have to upgrade only a year after purchasing the Mac
    As others have said, it is likely that there will be a security patch for 10.1 soon.

    But I would say that it isn't a question of having to upgrade - your boss ought to want to upgrade to Jaguar (and soon to Panther). I don't know what you pay your staff, but in most environments, $129 is a very cheap price to pay for the increased productivity (and worker satisfaction) you get with each OS X upgrade.
