(Apple via MyAppleMenu) [MyAppleMenu] Another Reason to switch, those guys are doing their best to cope with the junk from Redmond, I'm using it myself on a PC at the moment, but seeing it on MAC is quite a different experience. 6:14:17 PM

Apple, Gateway soup up server support programs. Apple deal targets confused Microsoft customers [InfoWorld: Top News] To bet the future of your company on something bug-ridden like Windows implies a confused state anyway ;-) 6:08:16 PM

After reading my previous post, there are usually two reactions. It's either "a Unix Addict using a MAC?", or "good choice". For those in the first category, check this link for the ones in the latter category, yes BSD is cool. The other thing that drives me toward a MAC is the fact that I have high hopes that Apple won't cave and include DRM (Digital Restrictions Management) in their systems and hamper the versatility of my "Personal Computer", something I obviously don't like. If Hollywood wants to hamper innovation, they should do it on Windows since Windows users are used to be kicked for ideas like "Why can't I do this or that on my system?" The answer from Redmond is usually: "Because we don't want you to, live with it we're market leader and you're just a licensepaying idiot that has to obey and cheer for every restriction we're 'innovating'!" 5:50:58 PM

Pretty much everything seems to be haywired at the moment, I'll need to get a MAC ASAP. 5:45:39 PM

Just checking new NAV settings, Windows sucks! Maybe I'm finally able to post again. 5:39:10 PM
