Please learn to read, Im talking about the Operating system, not the machine it runs on.
As for windows having virii as Im putting it, please we all know thats a fact, please dont skirt around facts for my opinion. its common knowledge mate.
If you read it carefully would understand a simple principle like that.
Mistaking an operating system for the machine makes me wonder about your skillset and experience.
Perhaps your reading into it or lack there of. who cares honestly, your current reply is hardly news or insightful.
I have an apple protection are plan, it lasts for 3 years it cost $400 AUD.
I can upgrade it if required as well.
The whole house i live in as well is insured for $50,000.
Its what smart people do with investments, Like your company, who probably has a deal with dell, just like the US and AUS army uses dell for the protection plans.
When i first bought the g5 one of the $1000 cpus was damaged and it was replaced for free in 7 days. Thats right, you get protection and insurance for expensive products, just like they do at your widdle jobby job.
Its like all the other OSX machines I have invested in, Guess what? they are still running as well, and under a protection plan. We are talking probably one third of your life as well, so please spare me with your insights.
Ahem, once the warranty runs out on your pc part, your rooted.
Please tell me how thats cool?
If it was under a care plan or insured, its replaced, installed and corrected for free.
I dont know about you but first hand experience compared to your article pales in comparison to whats happening in the real world.
Ive always had macs from an apple II, Ive always had pcs. I use both, I know the strengths and weaknesses very well, Ive been doing it for a long time, My studio is full of both hardware and software systems for those two systems, Ive even had the opportunity to own an SGI O2, which was a brilliant computer in its day.
Ten years ago I got a loan for $8000 for a 75mhz mac machine and tripled my loan repayment.
Im demonstrating to you that i didnt fall down in the last shower to have you instigate some website where an apple technician made some poor decision regarding one unit.
I think you show a very ignorant approach to what the O/S can do and what i use it for.
I use my mac as an office suite as well.
I use it to create DVDS / CDS
flash presentations
websites
graphic design print material
audio and video suites
web server
special effects
3d modeling and high end special effects.
animation
architectural renders and flybys.
and sometimes I play games in OpenGL at hundreds of fps.
etc etc
Later tonight, Im shooting a live band at the pressclub, so I can complete a music video for them and cut my teeth on making music clips from my home studio.
I even have firewire 800 working properly for years, whats that ?, you gotta clunk around just to get a port working in windows? My my.

Last week I sent out invoices for $xxxx.xx designing websites and creating video content for a website. 3 x 22 inch wide screens, terabyte raided HD in a quad core plus an 8800 is on the way to my place very soon, yummy. I can play with them in my jammies if i want at 4am as well if i so deem.
Yes thats right, im not sitting around pulling my pud to the latest zelda or acting like i know it all, like some ppl here.
At the end of the day, who really cares what negative aspect you wish to throw in, I know what i suggest is successful as I live it every day. I also dont answer to one boss, i answer to all my clients who are my bosses.
Vs arguments are for those who simply dont know or have what they vehemently despise, thats a great emotion for successful and happy people, not!.
I tend to get the impression your reply is somewhat jaded. good to luck with that approach in life, pfft.
Ive repaired about 20 pcs already this year, I have yet to get a mac repair job which does pop up every now and then. Thats 40 hours of work or around $2000 of income, which is also lower then the going rate then other larger firms, like supergeek etc..
Windows full blown Vista here in Oz is near $1000. yeah right OSX full is about $250.
I talk straight down the line, I dont waltz around subjects, I know little about. Ive been doing this now for well over 15 years as a professional in my field.
please, If I wanted a fractured fairy tale, Id go see the happy goblins in lala land with their fluffy cute pink slippers and green hats, and have purple slurpies with them in the mud spa.
