While I may agree with a single point you present, it does not mean
that I agree with ALL your points. You should realize this by now. I
am honest in my judgments, even if you may disagree with them.

While I do appreciate snit's attitide, since he is more willing to be
corrected than you, and is more honest in his judgments, as well as
more educated, I nevertheless do not fail to appreciate the good
points about OS X you might have to share. I love computers of all
kinds, as well as operating systems and user software, for their own
sakes. I am neither a "Windows fanatic" nor a "Macintosh fanatic",
and that bothers you. This is why you respond so abrasively toward me
and those like me. We frighten you, and shake you from your
complacency, and this troubles you.

I appreciate both as well - I have been very open with the fact that one
thing I like about my new Mac (a very important fact for me) is that it also
runs Windows and Windows programs. I get to use what I want in each
"world". This allows this machine to fit *my* needs better than a machine
running either OS solely.

For which I as well will never cease to be grateful to Mr. Jobs. He
did well with the last audience.. Now its time for a different
audience, so he is going to have to change his attitude. Windows
users are not elitists technologically. We are Citizens of the
Universe, who live in houses we don't completly own, who work at jobs
which are far beneath our technological skill levels, and make the
pittances we are given many times over during the day, then come home
to find our wives in bed with the Boss, the daughter
pregnant...again, and one or more sons working off the last rampage in
Court-imposed Community Service by picking up garbage along the side
of the road.

No wonder we spend our waking hours lost in a haze of beer and buds,
and wind up dying of old age before our time.

If he tries to approach us as he approaches his present core of
supporters, he will be be rebuffed: probably not so mildly as he would
want, either.

Got to go fill my glass, and light some incense...

See yall in the Clouds...the next Application Platform Interface. No
need for huge internal volumes for storage of programs and data.

However, I do not plan on staying in the Clouds very long, since that
is not my goal. Only about 4 or 5 hours. Then the clouds fade away
into the sunset. As I fade away into my memory.
