If it works with Usenet, browses the 'net, sends/receives mail, processes words and processes numbers I could care less who makes it. To me, a Mac enthusiast is someone who despises Bill Gates for reasons unknown. beernuts asked: > > What exactly is a Mac Enthusiast, anyway?

Doesn't have anything to do with computer hardware, either; it's all about software. A Machead is a person who uses the Mac OS and Microsoft Windows and who knows that one of them is a far superior to the other.

What about the people who despise Bill Gates for known and stated reasons? ;-) But seriously, I know plenty of Mac enthusiasts who don't care about Mr. Gates one way or another and quite a few Windows enthusiasts who can't stand him.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Gates one way or another and quite a few Windows enthusiasts who can't > stand him. It's really too bad personalities enter into it. From my perspective, having started on computers in 1958, both Jobs and Gates get an A+ for moving the machines into our homes. I credit Gates with having the wisdom to put MSDOS on clones, thereby making the PC affordable to millions, if not a billion people. I credit Jobs for producing quality hardware and software and doing such a bang-up job on graphics. To those who begrudge Gates for the monopoly achieved by giving people precisely what they wanted, I ask that they look at what he is doing with the derived wealth. Had Jobs sacrificed performance for price early-on, one can only wonder what he would have done with those billions. > To those who begrudge Gates for the monopoly achieved by giving people > precisely what they wanted, I ask that they look at what he is doing with > the derived wealth.

He gave people precisely what they wanted? You really believe they wanted that buggy crap? They had to take it if a Mac was beyond their budget. 3. Jobs is not exactly a church mouse either, he could give away millions if not billions if he chose to do so.. 4. The IRS would take the Gates billions if he did not have them stashed away in foundations for charity..

I'll bet there are a fair number of M$ software licenses installed in those "giveaways". > 1. Lets not forget Gates stole the Windows idea from Apple. That's not entirely clear, actually. Apple got it from the Xerox Palo Alto Research Center in the first place, and Gates may have gotten it from PARC as well.

Its the Microsoft Way. Signatureachilles > > That's not entirely clear, actually.

As I recall from the documentary, Apple got permission to tour PARC and use anything they saw, but they didn't pay Xerox anything. Microsoft announced Windows in November, 1983, and released Windows 1.0 in November, 1985. http://www.levenez.com/windows/history.html SignatureMike Rosenberg <http://macconsult.com/cafepress/> Net Junkie and Mac-themed shirts etc. <http://bogart-tribute.net> Tribute to Humphrey Bogart <http://cafepress.com/comedancing> Ballroom dance-themed shirts & gifts >> To me, a Mac enthusiast is someone who despises Bill Gates for reasons >> unknown.

He's out of the picture soon anyway, as he'll be taking on his charity org full-time. Real terrible guy... > What exactly is a Mac Enthusiast, anyway?

The new Intel Macs are no different from a user standpoint than the PowerPC Macs they're replacing, unless you desperately need to run old software.

Not only that, the underpinnings of the O.S. is anything but "Mac", it's Unix wrapped up in a sexy GUI. I have a powerbook, and an Ipod, and I have PCs. Whatever works for ya...
