Most of the replies on my posts I have seen from you on Apple Sanctuary have been snide remarks and subtle put downs. You don't see me going to the Windows forum laughing at the poor saps having problems with Vista, do you?
No need to call me names.

Again, I don't have a problem with you being one, just admit that you are.

Okay then, I guess I will take your advice. It was nice knowing the folks on TR. Bye.

Ironic, considering that fact that you are the one who finds it necessary to pull out a web-page that explicitly insults Mac users without any reason. Who is the fan-boy/fanatic now?
i dont have anything against macs. i honestly wouldnt object to owning a macbook. i'll even come out of the closet a bit and say they're kinda sexy.

Okay okay, let's all settle down.
This is the Apple forum and for whatever reasons, PC fans like to come in here from time to time to crap all over Apple. God knows why we're not allowed to be excited about our platform of choice, but there you have it. PC fans get a stiffy every time a new CPU fan comes out, but we're not allowed to be excited about some innovations that Apple comes up with.
This is the price of admission to being a Mac fan. I faced up to that a long time ago and I have come to accept it. Occasionally, it gets out of hand and I have to stop a thread in it's tracks, but most of the time, the idiocy is self evident and people point at the troll and laugh. I am sure enough of my decision to use a Mac that I'm not all that concerned with someone who's manliness is defined by his computer. By the way, this is a generalization, I am not calling anyone a troll here.
What I have said in the past remains true: Computer platform choices are simply a matter of preference. What is important to one computer user is not important to another. A feature that makes a gamer foam at the mouth may not mean a thing to someone who wants a computer that is elegant and easy to use. Operating Systems are the same way. I can't stand hand-tweaking every bit of my OS, but Linux fan boys LOVE it. Just a matter of priorities and preferences.
