For the record I am a PC user through and through.

If the Mac owner (forget his name right now) was as good a marketer as Bill Gates, PC's would be GONE by now! [img]tongue.gif[/img] [/QUOTE]No debate here. I agree completely, but it didn't happen that way. Marketing is the key to any products survival. My buddy was playing games on his Mac, that blew the PC away during that time. My high school computer tech class was strictly Macs and before that in Jr High, the Apple IIc and IIe was king. Unfortunately Apple wanted proprietary control over their technology and subsequently screwed themselves.

Both Winblows and the MacOS were based on a little known Xerox os that Micro$haft bought out in the early eighties.

Another little known fact...NT was originally Microsoft OS/2 3.0; you can even get OS/2 errors from it.

Well, when I bought my first PC (286), Macs were overpriced and soon to be "gone from the market in another few years"-- according to the guy that sold me the PC. Macs are still in the market but they still are overpriced too. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

This was meant as a humor thread...

However, I find the strongest critics of Macs are usually those who have never used one.

Also, why is the top downloaded theme for PCs a copy of the Mac OS?
