Mac gave up...Bill Gates wins
Quote from canyonman00:
Then I'd say you need to change your core of UNIX associates. UNIX hackers? And yes, they are considered the pocket protectors pocket protector. They are also not very sociable as a rule. They are those really strange guys that you don't bring around if you're trying to enjoy life. In other words, they really aren't considered main stream.
So you say my geek friends are "morons" because they don't want to be extreme? We'll be that, thanks!![]()
Quote from nitro:
No, your friends are morons because if they want nothing to do with a mac, they are either biased, or really are morons.
I use windows machines extensively, but I would not even come close to saying that "geeks" want nothing to do with macs, not only because it is flatly wrong in theory, but because it is wrong in practice.

You don't know what you are talking about. Unix/Linux is about as 'mainstream' as you can get. What do you think powers the internet ? Ever heard of LAMP ? It is highly likely that your email is delivered by a Unix/Linux box at an ISP.
Better watch out for those Unix 'extremists'.

My nine year old daughter installed a knoppix cluster the other day. That is about how much you know about computers.Quote from canyonman00:
