Yes, I said it, and for good reason...

>>> Have you boys got a second mouse button yet? >>>

Yes, if we want one there are many "quality" 2, 3, 4,...
button mice and trackballs.

Don?t really need one as Control-click works just fine or
3rd party apps add "click and hold" to equal one button-
right button functionality.

>>> Or a decent number of users? >>>

Yes, millions of dedicated users isn?t too shabby. I suppose
you diss BMW, Volvo, Subaru, etc users just because they
are in the minority too.

Cockroaches vastly outnumber humans too so your reliance
on numbers to back your platform of choice doesn?t really
wash, especially if you?re trying to equate numbers with
quality.

Or to paraphrase H.L. Mencken... "No one ever went broke
underestimating the intelligence of the (American)
public."... read.... Windows users

>>> Or a decent selection of software and imagine, a
choice of hardware? >>>

Yes, actually we have loads of first class, quality software...
where have you been?

Most of the extra "crap" bragged about by Windows users
has disappeared on the Mac side as how many word
processors, images editors, web browsers, video editing,
etc apps does one need? We usually have the choice of the
top 3 or more apps in almost any class... enough for even
the most discerning user.

Do you have the highly acclaimed iLife apps, Final Cut Pro,
DVD Pro, Safari, a robust, rock solid, (almost, hate to say
totally) virus free, quality, OS like OSX, award winning
hardware, etc? Didn't think so...

Much of your hardware choices are also "crap" and you
need to be a techno geek (not your average user) to
adequately function with much of it... you get what you pay
for.

"Wintel... cheap thru the door... expensive forever more."

When you can produce an independent TCO/ROI study
favouring Windows over the Mac, come back and we'll talk
about your so-called superior, overwhelming, wondrous
software and hardware choices.

>>> Cool colors though. >>>

Yes, they are. Great to live in a well-designed and
engineered world. Where would we be if everything was
dull, mundane and all looked the same? China or a
Windows users group?

>>> Is your betamax system still working? >>>

Never had one... just VHS.

>>> It must be great to be superior like you. >>>

By your arrogant, condescending reply... pot, kettle, black...

That's your perception, perhaps from your irrational
"hatred" and ignorance of the Mac and many of it's users/
supporters.

From one Joe to another... chill out.
