Intro Comment: I consider Paris Hilton to be a perfect example of
the de-evolution of the US culture. She is 100% ignorable, with
zero redeeming qualities. I couldn't care less about the dimwit
tramp. Why others do is beyond my comprehension. Finding out
whether people care about her or not is equivalent to an IQ test:
Retards care, intelligentsia yawn. You get the idea.

Folks, the Mac really is astonishing.
It's used by top professional programmers to write software. Even
Microsoft use them. What for? Writing games for the Xbox. Guess
what Bungie use to write Halo kids! Xerox user Macs to write
nearly all their product software. Considering that Xerox
originated the GUI desktop metaphor that is quite a compliment.
Meanwhile, as John pointed out, total pinhead techno-illiterates
like Bush and Limbaugh are able to use them for their own
professional work.
This means the Mac has all the power under the hood to do
incredibly complicated work and yet it is so simple to use that
someone with the intelligence of a 2 year old can thrive on it.
Can Windows do that?
NOT.
:-P
Instead, writing code in Windows is an exercise in suffering.
Meanwhile Windows newbies typically swear at their computers and
are constantly pestering experienced Windows users for help. I
know. I teach Windows classes.

Frederick Brooks: I happily use a Macintosh. It's not been
equalled for ease of use, and I want my computer to be a tool,
not a challenge.
