In the early 1990's at the univ. I worked at, the IT guys tried to
ban macs. If they found one in your dept. they would ridicule you
and tried to enforce a "no mac" campus standard. They would talk about
market share and comparisons to VHS vs. Betamax were tossed about
freely.

In the mid 1990's, my wife's dept head actually banned macs from the dept.

Both the IT director and my wife's dept. head got canned, thankfully,
but more importantly, let me be the first to declare the platform wars
over.

Apple is now #3

Who'da thunk?

So, let me say to all the geek doomsayers and PC nazis

Bite Me. You were wrong all along. Get a life.

Apple has developed into the BMW of comp. companies. My new
8-core could not be more elegantly designed and built. Putting in
more RAM was like working on a beautiful sports car and Leopard makes
both Vista and XP look like bathroom grafitti in comparison.

Cheap? No, but worth it, and there really is no competition if you care
about the things it offers.

Oh, and a guy from Apple spent hours with me sorting out my ethernet
troubles.

Nothing against PC's, but the platform wars are over. You pays yer
nickel and takes yer choice.

DC

oh and with VM Fusion, I can put XP over here and Leopard over there
on the same machine and the same monitor. Or on mon. 2 of an extended
desktop.
