People ... cant we all just get along?...heres what I think,
I use a Mac at work and a PC at home...my track record is, several
crashes at work, and so far not a one at home, so therefore under that
basis, i will never buy a mac for myself, that doesnt mean im quitting
my job either, the Mac is OK, the PC is OK, 

Here's the problem I have...Getting Mr Gates and Mr Jobs to bury the
hatchet (preferably in each other's heads) and make UNIFORM software
application that will run on either machine and solve this problem and
witless discussion once and for all..I mean Im tired of having things at
either location (home or work) that I cant translate between the two!!!

SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING...BUT NOOOOOOO.... these two guys have to go on
pointing fingers, name calling making bad jokes about each others mother
and who does it benefit?...no one, no one but their bank books, and who
do it hurt?  US !!!!!!

Come on people, grow up!  stop the arguing between ourselves and start
arguing at the heads of the Computer state...

WE WANT UNIFORM FUNCTIONING APPLICATION THAT WILL RUN ON ALL MACHINES!!!

I cant have a decent copy of ILLUSTRATOR from ADOBE because all they
have is ILLUSTRATOR for MAC...they stopped at 4.1 For
WINDOWS...regardless of anyones personal experiences, No company should
make warez for One platform only...theres just too many of both outh
there to be one sided

kinda like trying to save the world.

AND lest we forget, that bit about the apple powerbook giving the alien
ship a Virus, that must mean the apple based systems on the invaders
ships cant recognize a siste computer trying to do that to it.
