Why is it that computer users don’t even consider the opposition as a serious option? And yes this goes both ways… but my case in point it Alan. Let me be clear hear people! I am NOT saying that Macs are better, NOR that PCs are better. What I AM saying is why not consider the option. Granted I’ve isolated Alan with no better reason that I felt like it. It is highly likely that in Alan’s case a PC is the better option (although I raise an eyebrow at the ‘do I need to partition the hard drive’ bit which is practically shouting ‘give me something simple, stylish and easy to use’.) If you actually want to know the right computer is the one that will do the task you have in mind, quickly, easily and with the minimum of fuss. If that task is to allow you to do your work at home then it is most often best to go with whatever they use at work, etc. And no, I will not stop ranting, this is a weblog after all, that’s what its for.

I’m not saying it’ll never happen, just that it might not happen soon. However, give me a screenshot, and we’ll see what I can do.
Macs are not the opposition. There is no opposition. Resistance is futile. (I’m not kidding here.) Macs are like, I dunno, a dictatorship or something. UNIX is like socialism and Windows is capitalism. All of them suck, but we’re under no delusions that there is serious opposition to the top monkey. Given that very few people use computers, I’m guessing they’ll all be swept away. In fact, if we’re still using Windows/Mac/UNIX in twenty years, then I’m outa here now. (This is a stronger version of my thinking on capitalism, et al.)
