Oh, nothing personal, I mean that this way.

For a new business to standardize on Windows today is like a business 5 years ago that bought Mainframes and terminals.

???? doesn't make sense. You'd have to call a business that standardized on Mainframse 5 years ago foolish. Expensive proprietary klunkers. Oh sure you could find the exception but it'd be rare.

People who are in the know buy quality machines. My brother paid a huge price for listening to his sister in law and standardizing on Windows.

He's now ready for a Mac. When his current machine is end of lifed he'll buy a Mac.

My ex bought a Gateway with WidowsME. Ouch! That's a burn! Sorry she was a loser on that purchase.

well Dave, honestly, you seem like a bit of a sore loser here.

You and Don think its a blip. The market, most analysts (except Laura Canigliaro and the guy form IDC and Greenberg) thinks Mac is gaining share. Place your bets.

The reason people resort to calling each other stupid is because like Don, sitting in the face of a tornado you can swear it isn't coming... if you want. Doesn't mean it isn't coming.
