    It's taken me years of experience to get this cynical
  • Fairly common occurrence pretty much anywhere. At least on here everyone (usually) keeps things polite.

    Maybe someone should start a thread named "Windows vs Mac vs Linux" thread and get it pinned or sticky'd so we can fight it out and no innocents get caught in the cross fire.:rotfl:

    And the Mac Hit Squad aren't here yet. Wonder how long it'll be before they start abusing us again. Funny thing is, to be abusing us as much as they do, they must be feeling very inadequate. Wonder why?

    Wouldn't be ironic if this thread ended up being an argument about windoze macs and linux and why cheap PCs that are more powerful than macs that run linux are the best!

    Ooppps.:rotfl:

    I genuinely hope you don't count me amongst them... :(

    I find it a bit sad that such strong feelings are felt by people about a 'thing', it's only a blinking computer, each platform has its good, and bad side ;)
