ha ha
nicely put.

my philosophy is yes, you can use the arse end of a screwdriver to knock in a nail, but it's much better to use a hammer.

Nice one Brenda - I've become SO tired of Windows bitching that I almost stick up for it these days. As if anyone other than CrApple has come up with a functionally competitive desktop OS. The snobbery from Apple fans makes me sick & frankly I've heard it all before: Spectrum v/s CBM 64, Amiga v/s Atari ST, etc, etc, YAWN. Anyway, you can get a hooky copy of Winders, stick it on second-hand hardware & you have a computer, with which you can publish content to the web - in my mind that's far more 'undergroud' or creative than having to fork out for some fancy CrApple toy. Still, the snobs won't see it. Just because someone uses Winders doesn't mean they love MS !!!!!! As if Apple aren't a vile corporation too !!!!

Massively entertaining is the endless arguments for & against Winders & CrApple OS. Oh, my CPU is better than your CPU - no it ain't, not anymore you smug fucks!!!! UNIX is shit, oh, erm, that's what OSX is. Oops...

In fact, didn't CrApple invent EVERYTHING??? That's what their evangelists would have everyone believe. They, of course, invented the GUI, MP3 players & anything else you can think of. Oh & of course, CrApple products are 'right on', so are left-wing friendly. I love the hipocrisy!!!!!

Linux? Good server, but really, not flexible enough at the desktop & not enough device support. Ubuntu seems to be popular - I guess they're all ok as long as you don't use a device that there's no driver for. If I had to use a *NIX derivitive, I'd go for FreeBSD. Likely without a gui though. In fact, isn't the underlying *NIX part of OSX a port of BSD?
