Nah, you just ran with it and I saw an opportunity to get you back for doing the same thing to me in the "what is a hipster" thread.

I mean, I do genuinely feel that way about Apple, but it's not like I actually GIVE two shits about any of this.

But you ARE a hipster.

FUCKING HIPSTERS!!!!!

FTR I don't actually remember the "what is a hipster" thread, so I'm not sure if my last post has any relevance.

There are drawbacks to busting the chops of an epileptic with a really shitty memory.

I was running Windows 98 on dial-up the last time I had a virus problem on a PC. The security angle really doesn't seem relevant to me. And like I said, I couldn't tell you the last time Windows crashed on me, but it's been years.

If Apple products work for you, that's great, but a lot of the "downsides" to using a Windows-based PC have pretty much become mythological anymore unless you're visiting www.givemeavirusandcrashmycomputer.com

It was quite a while ago that I personally owned a PC, but I did have a lot of problems with it.

However, quite recently I worked for a solid year on a Windows network and it crashed at least once a month, putting all the graphics tards out of work for a day or two while the tech guy got it up and running again.

I think the "mythology" here is your faith in Windows.

All the problems I've had with a windows system has been either due to the Army stacking too much nanny-ware on systems with Vista that don't meet the minimum requirements for it or random hardware malfunctions that were probably caused by improper long term storage of my desktop.

I love Windows, and I think that Microsoft is awesome.

I love Bill Gates, and I think that Microsoft is decent.

Is networking really ever stable on any platform? I don't think I've ever used a large network on any OS that didn't cause huge problems.

[Cain]

The networked Mac computers where I worked seemed OK, except for intermittent internet connection issues.  Then again, I probably wasn't there long enough to see any major problems arising.  Windows always seems to perform badly when networked, but apparently they put a lot of work into improving that with 7 (again).

So wait...are you telling me that you can link different computers to each other?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

For some reason my Mac can see my Windows and Linux hard drives, but my Windows and Linux machines can't see my Mac. It's really irritating.
