The insanity of Mac zealots can only be a ...

drop in the bucket compared to the anti-Mac clowns and
Fudsters who have never used a Mac but hate it because Mac
users unlike Windows users actually enjoy working with their
computers instead of the "Joy of Fixing Windows Problems."
experience that these anti-Mac clowns love to wallow in. It must
be spiritual or an almost sexual experience to insult Mac users.

The thing is that we Mac users have been hearing the same
idiot-speak for 20 years. It's not that Mac users are zealots. We
don't care if you use Windows. We don't care if Microsoft has
200,000 viruses in the wild and enough spyware to fill 5000
James Bond movies. We don't care. What we do care about is the
anti-Mac hate crowd that thinks that we should be forced to use
the same crappy Windows PCs because of a bunch of lies and
missinformation that gets spread about our choice of operating
systems.

If you think that we Mac uers are zealots, then I guess the Linux
users are zealots, too because they don't use the same crappy
OS that the anti-Mac idiots and anti-Linux idiots say we should
use. Often it's the same morons who are anti-Mac as the ones
who are anti-Linux.

Oh, you can run Windows on new Macs. If Windows is so good
how come just about every Intel Mac user uses OSX as the
primary operating system? The Mac Pro is up to $1000 cheaper
than a comparable Dell. Do you see the Dual Xeon Macs running
Windows as the primary OS? I don't think so.

As for being done with it, there's one fake Ad-ware for OSX.
There's 50,000 real Ad-wares available right now for your
Windows PC right now.

Why do you think it's big news when they find one (1) possible
flaw in Mac OSX even if it's only in some highly controlled
environment? To find a flaw, an exploit, or even a terrible virus
for Windows doesn't even make the news until several hundred
thousand people get hosed.

I hate bringing myself down to insulting Windows. Windows is a
very good OS for some things and being semi-compatible with
so much different hardware and software is an amazing feat,
especially since some of those cheap PCs use really crappy
hardware. I really just don't like the anti-Mac zealots and the
Fudsters who publish these articles with the strong anti-Mac
spin. I guess it's fun to bash Macintosh, because the user base is
so loyal.
