Your'e on an Apple site "blanking Apple" out and you
want those who disagree with you to get a life...talk about your
irony!

I've been using Apple products since the Apple II years. I don't
always agree with Apple's choices..not in the past and not
always today. But taken as a whole I don't have a lot to complain
about when I observe other technology companies and their
actions.

I'm sitting infront of my iMac G5 with Virtual PC 7 running
Windows 2000 Pro and I'm very happy and yes even a bit
surprised at how well and zippy even the PC side of things run
for me.

Still if that is not your experiance with Apple that is fine to, or
are you one of those who have little to no experiance with
Apple? If this is true...then why get involved in the first place?

Oh and as a side note. Over the years I've worked on and or
repaird Packard Bells, AST computers, IBM, HP's, Dell's,
Gatewhy's, and so many other name brand PC's the mind
boggles. I've also built hundreds of PC's and supported them
over the years as well. So I know where I speak of when I
compare Apple to others. And as I stated before...over all I can
say that Apple is a pretty good company.
