I'm thinking about switching over to the other team.

I was just getting tired of bickering. As I see it apple has always been Steve Jobs so OSX being derived from NEXT is really just the evolution of MAC OS not stealing. I don't see how it is a lack of innovation same guy doing his thing he just developed it elsewhere. Apple was a mess without Jobs, look at what has happened since he's been back.

I'm getting tired of bickering too, but it is a slow day at work.

I am not denying in any way that Apple is doing a remarkable job with what they have, nor am I denying that Steve Jobs is the catalyst behind it.

I'm just saying that either way you go, PC or Apple, it isn't all rainbows and unicorns. (I think that can be said without a gay reference.) Every person is different and what computer they choose will vary. That is why I think that it is important to try both and see what works best. Personally, when I bought my first modern Apple computer, I was excited and I think it is great. Apart from the weird problems that occur after a few weeks of regular use, it is a fantastic piece of engineering. I even got to gloat for a few weeks when I bought it, because I had a faster laptop than some of the pro-Apple owners at work had in their desktops. (That changed quickly, though.)

I am privledged that I am able to own both and use both, as I know most people cannot. (In a general sense. Amongst the membership of this forum, I do not expect that to be a big issue. Then again, it is becoming a stretch for me now too.) That is why it is really important for people to find what works for them, because after you buy it, that's it. Some places will accept returns within 30 days, but six months down the road if you find a piece of software that you cannot live without and it doesn't work on your computer -- PC or Apple, there is OS X software I'd love on my PC -- you are hooped.

That's all I'm saying. (With lots of being sidetracked.)

BKLYNH2, why would you wear your unicorn shirt to a Mac convention? Don't they have dress codes for those things? I guess that's just "Think Different" for you...
