Sorry Dubya. This one was "ducked" years ago. 99.9% of this stuff never
happened any Mac user I know. Maybe he was working on a pre-beta hacked
version of OSX or something. ?? The thing about the Dock is true though.
Anyway, talk about irony. I was reading this on my PC here at work. I looked
at the Apple commercials (cute, I thought), then looked at the link in your
email. Oops! Outlook Express decides it doesn't like something and locks. I
mean a hard lock! I barely got control-alt-delete to bring up the task
manager so I could shut OE down. Anyway, got it to close, re-opened and BAM!
Locks again. Another control-alt-delete and close. This time I decide to
reboot the whole machine. So far so good. Anyway, I just thought it was
funny based on the Mac commercial.
I use both Mac's and PC's with great success. They both have their
idiosyncrasies. I did find that most of the anti-PC commercials on Apple's
site had more truths in them than that old anti-Mac spoof. Who really cares
though? Use what works for you.

You can turn that feature off on the Dock. No big deal! Mac running OSX
do not crash. OS 9 did not have protected memory/dynamiclly allocated memory,
so you have to manually give each program enough memory to run the task
it is doing. If you don't do that, the program will crash and 85% of the
time take the OS with it. Unfortunately PC users don't know that and even
worse, most Mac users didn't know it either! That is why people think Macs
crash. It's a lack of knowledge.
This was the one thing on OS 9 that was not automatic. But you could do
other cool things, like set up extension preference sets in Extensions manager.
In other words, you could have one set for audio work, one for video work,
etc, and have your system quickly optimized. Things we didn't have to set
up or mess with were, .dll files, setting IRQs, viruses, worms, etc, just
to name a few. All of those things PC users have to fuss with. On OSX
we still don't have to deal with all that.
It's kind of funny, if some hack creates a virus for the Mac it's big news,
if a hunderd viruses come out today for the PC, most likely you will not
even hear about it.
Like Tony said 99.9% of the stuff in the Mac bash video is bullshit! It
comes from ignorance. Anyways, use what works for you!
Some of the Apple videos, are not accurate either. All tung in cheek; )

P.S. I'm also a PC user: )

Wow, for what started out as a comedy thread, some folks can sure get goin'
on the serious side to the exclusion of any of the comedic value intended.
I still think it's funny and I have MAC-centric friends who vouch for and
laugh at the referenced MAC downsides. And it does have them.... just like
PC and MACs will always have them.

Oh the Mac has faults also for sure. Just not the one's that video
references. At least not in my experience. Maybe I'm just really lucky!? Oh
great, now I have to go find some wood to knock on! ;>)
