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.

I am not sure what you mean by the above - do you think Mac users are
fundamentally different than Windows users?

I do not, snit. However, Mac Fanatics DO consider themselves to be
"different" (even superior) than Windows users.

"Well, both Mac usage and left-leaning thought tend to correlate with higher
education - so likely they also correlate with each other (though not
necessarily)".

Which is what I have been crusading againt all the time I've been
posting here.

"Mac users tend to be better educated and wealthier... so?"

Regardless of the schooling he *claims* to have had, I not convinced the
person
that wrote the above is more educated than you are... he's just better at
pulling the wool over people's eyes, probably due to all the practice he's
had.

A tendency "to be better educated" would be a pretty 'fundamental
difference'.
Interesting that you were asked this question... isn't it?

Educational level does not correlate with an OS,

As any sane person would agree to. Perhaps you should take it up with Snit as
he's the author of those quotes. Now you get to watch him spin away from the
extremely clear position he has taken.

it correlates with
the relative wealth a person's parents have while the person is still
a student.

In fact, it correlates with almost ANYTHING except the OS one uses.

Hey, I never said his positions made much sense... it was you that did that.
