Hey, hey, hey, Bill! What's this?

"Apples crash less often, and it is easier for stupid people to use them(an attribute??)"

Did you even think about this statement before you wrote it? Apples crash less often because they have smarter people using them (for one; they also use a superior operating system). Secondly, I'd match up the creativity (and dare I say 'intelligence'?) of your average Mac user over your average windows user any day. Please don't make the mistake of equating simplicity (i.e. elegance) with stupidity. The vast majority of the Windows users I've met have trouble tying their own shoes most days, and it takes a guy like me, who was raised on Apples, to come along and show them how to do what they need doing on their IBM compats.

Mark Palmberg's first rule of the jungle:

"Any Mac user can teach OS and Software apps to any Windows user, but the converse does not hold true."

Truth will find a way, Bill.

Good luck today. I do agree with what you say about Apple's uncertain future and rather lackluster recent past, but I've been a troop in both computer camps, and I can tell you I'd much rather go into battle behind Steve Jobs than Bill Gates. Good luck to you today.

Regards,

Mark
