Give up. You're "Arguing With Idiots". They are as fanatical as any "fanboi"
they could conceive. Funny as hell that they just do not realize how moronic
they sound.

Me? I'm not anti-anything. Obviously you did not read my entire
post, ie the part where I said IDGAF what you use or like, I work on and
have used all of them. It's the snooty attitude the *some* Apple users
have that I dislike.

Perfect sense, I work on computers, I know who uses what where I am.
In my computer shop there are two other techs that both use Macs
personally. Obviously they are the "don't wanna's" rather than the
"can'ts." The guy who just retired, poked prodded, fiddled with and
built water cooled rigs. After he retired he decided he didn't want to
anymore and uses a Mac now.

Growing, not grown. It's at approximately 6%. In any case under 10%
still. And if you think Mac users can not be tricked....

$599. No kb, no mouse no monitor. 2.6GHz and 4GB of RAM. I referred
to the iMac, a complete system. And yes the system I refer to is
comparable to the mini or the basic iMac and can easily be changed or
upgraded.

Perfectly as expected, nothing contributory, just a personal attack
and name calling. Yes, *this* "idiot" is one of the people who repairs
your Mac when it gets broken because you can't.

i don't blame him. who wants to be building and fixing computers all
day long? most people want to use them and actually *do* something.

it depends how you tally it, however, the lack of malware has very
little to do with market share. it is *not* easy to write mac malware
that doesn't involve the user installing and authenticating. in other
words, the weakness is the user.

imacs start at $1199, not $1500, and your mythical $400 machine is in
no way comparable, especially if it includes a display.

On that I know them and on what they told me when I asked. They both
are repair techs and we work on computers and related (and not so
related) equipment everyday, so it's obvious none of us are can't dos.
I'm not saying this applies 100%, it's just my general impression. Lord
knows I know of a lot of people who should be on a Mac instead of a PC
or better yet, no computer at all.

Lots of people do. I know Mac people people who do it. It was my
hobby before my job entailed repairing them.

Maybe, but I think you give the black-hats way too little credit.

Sorry, but you are wrong. Now I will admit that the Apple display
looks really good, but the majority of entry level users will never see
any more than the aesthetic differences. My mom uses an entry level Acer
that was $529. It's a dual core 2.8GHz and came with 6GB of RAM. And the
mouse actually has two buttons on it :oP It's also over a year old.

That's not meant to be anti-Mac. That's an observation. Perhaps I
should have said don't wanna rather than won't. If you think I seem
hostile, consider what I am responding to..
