Why you had to post that twice is beyond me
Why you had to post it ONCE is beyond me.

Before I state my case, let me first give my position in this situation and say I dislike Microsoft....was that too strong? NonZealot knows I'm more of an ABMer than a NBMer. I've hardly even seen a Mac let alone used one. I'm a Linux user and fan of Linux and anything that's not Microsoft. In fact I'd back Mac before Windows any day, simply because it's not made by Microsoft.

But NonZealot is no Windows fanboy. I think he overreacted to the first post by someone supporting Mac in this thread. But he's no Windows man.

And while I'll back Mac before Windows, it's not cos I think Mac is a better OS, but because it's built on a BSD base and it takes its security from a Unix-type stand-point. If Windows did that I'd back Windows because it's got far more hardware support and far more software support than Mac has. That's all. But that's coming from someone who has no knowledge of the Mac OS itself.
