Once upon a time.

The Mac had a very slick GUI. But to get that, processing speed was sacrificed. It was form over function.

Windows, on the other hand had a "plain jane" GUI, but the processing power blew the Macs off the bench.

But that was then.

Today, Windows has the slickest GUI and the fastest processing times while the Macs limp along living on past glories.

In fact today, Macs run Windows faster than Lion, on the same machine.

Once upon a time, Macs "just worked". Not anymore.

Once upon a time Macs "didn't get viruses". Not anymore.

Once upon a time Macs used "superior hardware". Not anymore.

Once upon a time, Macs had 12.87% world market share. Not anymore.

The only thing Macs excel at, is the bigger profits Apple gets from selling them.

MacFish - they so love the past - but who can blame them.
