    No, Scrilla. Despite your imperious command, I have no desire whatsoever to spend my time reading your previous self-adulatory posting again, stripped or otherwise of what you call its raucousness. Apart from anything else, digesting its illiteracy is too painful a way to spend a fine summer's morning. You've yet to boast what subject you teach but I hope for your pupils' sake it isn't English.

    Of the 200 words with which you now patronise me in three further ungrammatical paragraphs,

    6 are "I", :j
    1 is "I'm", :j
    5 are "my", :j
    1 is "myself :j

    and none of them addresses the topic of the thread.

    Are we, perhaps, a little vain?

    What, moreover, leads you to assume that the OP is male? You can add presumptuousness to your list of failings upon which to work after getting to grips with your raucousness.

    As for me, I'm off to take the dogma for a walk in the sunshine: it will be greatly more edifying than reading (let alone re-reading) your peevish harangues.

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    As a result of how you voted in the last three General Elections,
    you'd now be better off living in one.

    Oh dear, still the same !!!!! doesn't matter what is posted. Theres some good cheap acer laptops for the OPs original price but really those would be for home entertainment/gaming. For business 500 quid would do nicely, maybe something from the 5700 series.

    That one only works as a jibe if you apply the verb correctly. :D

    When you don't, you simply demonstrate to the world that you are ignorant. :o

    I thought this was a forum, not an english gramma class. I've always thought it petty trying to insult gramma in a forum like this... who cares??? It's not like you can't understand whats been posted.

    Please try to be tolerant of our shortcomings, asininity; hard though we might try, we cannot all achieve your mastery of objectivity, topic adherence, forum eloquence and thread constructiveness.

    How was it you put it? Ah, yes:

    You are most welcome I'm glad you liked my contribution enough to appreciate it and thank me for it.:beer:

    Tell me exactly what the help was that the OP required... could it have been... oh yes it was... but no it cant have been no one worries about that... but yes it was wasn't it, the price. I wonder why that is? Ever noticed with windoze its viruses and with macs its the price?

    Good use of your dictionary throughout the post though well done:T, unfortunately and despite your view I'm quite literate and able to understand those big words of yours.

    Rarely?? Try always. It is your customary and personal perversion to intrude upon any constructive thread involving Macs and PCs that appear in this sub-forum and vent your personal emotional frustration at your physical and mental inadequacies, you know the ones you hide behind you pretty PC and probably a sports car as well, along with your arrogant and condescending manner. My edits are simply for spelling.
    (I particularly appreciated that last clarification. :) )

    I'd love to meet you in the capacity of my employment, you'd probably !!!! a brick as people like you do. :rotfl:

    You've obviously confused me with someone else, I thought I was a bigot, why would I purchase one? Being as intolerant as I am. You left out that if I wanted one I'd install Linux on it, better eye-candy and more secure you see. But really I have better stuff to spend my money on, like my children and mortgage, rather than an overpriced PC.


    What you've made abundantly clear is that if you swapped "apple" or "mac" with a religion of your choice you'd be strapping a bodysuit of explosives to younger boys/men and sending them out, with a switch in your hand, to kill the non-believers. You're a fanatic.
    Now you need to stop making things up, I'm not part of your special fantasy world, I've never called anyone a fool for buying a pretty PC with OSX on it. Oh and I'm sure mac users everywhere will be able to sleep at night knowing you're here to wage war on the non-believers

    Everyone supports each other on this forum, after all that's what its here for. You've demonstrated with the above you are an egotistical, fanatic; its you that would separate us into uncooperative groups. Its always us and them with you isn't it, along with your penchant for arrogant over dramatic fantasy.

    Such religious fervour, I'm assuming these personal attacks are down to my pointing out your dirty secret and your subsequent damaged ego, so you are forgiven your childish attempt at intelligent insult. Well done all the same it was mildly amusing.


    We're wasting no ones time except ours, everyone loves reading an argument.
    Peace my pompous, narrow minded, arrogant, and egotistical fanatic. The war will be won some day I'm sure.


    Returning dutifully to the topic of this thread, however, it might be reassuring to the OP to be reminded of your own view as to the merits of Windows laptops in comparison to those of Apple.

    I'm sure you're perfectly right thats why no businesses use windows at all, for that exact same reason... oh wait, hang on, yes they do hhmmm the words "out of " @rse" "your" and "speaking" spring to mind, probably not in that order.

    I'm sure when you're in that foreign hotel and just opening that laptop (I assume its a mac) it would take you less than half hour to complete "critical" business with it;);).

    Anyway maybe you should learn something then. If I'm in a foreign hotel with half an hour to do something "critical";);), etc etc I can do it either in windoze and not worry about malware, or do it in linux and have even less malware to worry about than you on your mac.

    Also if you're having to deal with malware like that regularly review you're security and stop browsing those !!!!!! sites, you know the ones with the man and his unnatural connection with his computer.

    News for you, you are a computer geek only differenence is instead of drooling over computer code you probably have some form of sexual relationship with your computer like most apple fanboys.

    In reality the cheaper one works just as well and you know it, as well as those !!!!!! sites you need to lay off those "pc vs mac" adverts cos they aint true despite how much you'd love them to be.

    TBH I could afford one if I really need one but whats the point??? It doesn't do anything my pcs cant. Simple really, why spend more than you need to, not into all the hype.

    Most people do you idiot, most mac-fanboys dont.


    Theres that fantasy world of yours again:rotfl:. I've a computer that was free, suffers from no vulnerability, never leaves me unable to work even to time critical deadlines, oh and its 8yrs old and runs faster than any mac/windoze based pc of its age and probably a lot of the newer ones too.

    Commend away you pompous fool, I dont see the point in wasting my money on trival things that are really over hyped gimmicks.

    Just for the record, I'm posting this from a Mac that's 9 years old and is happily running the latest (yesterday's) version of Mac OS 10.5.8.

    But, of course, the OP has already passed personal verdict on the appeal of Macs. Clearly the OP is in enviably impressive company on that particular dilemma.

    Don't laugh at banana republics. :rotfl:

    And there's you, being so rude and unkind to someone you perceive to be a poor little man who's feeling under the weather.

    Shame on you, woman! Have you no compassion, as well as no intelligence (nor literacy)?

    You see, you can't play it both ways, can you? That doesn't work, either. :o:o

    What's going to be Tactic 3, then?

    Oh dear it seems you never change, its pathetic really. Still a bigot, and making things up so you can sprout your usual misguided overly dramatic mostly untrue crap. Quote me as much as you want you pompous fool.

    How exactly is the quote anything to do with this thread, its more to do with you're sexual fantasy's and fanaticism.

    Would you like a medal? A trophy?? I still have my old PC thats running the latest linux distro thats on it. Big deal.

    If the OP is in your company he's also in the company of an idiot. I feel for him/her!
