I used to use Macs, but got turned off by their cost relative to PC, their lack of breadth in programs, and the arrogance of the company and the company reps I interacted with.

My brother really likes his Mac, Really Really Really. He is familiar with my feelings re their opinions of themselves and he says: Yeah, they're a bunch of assholes. There's one thing that makes 'em look good - Microsoft!

I am currently interacting with you via Mandrake Linux. Linux is not ready for prime time but if you like to tinker, it's fun. And RELIABLE.

I also have a Windows 2000 system I keep off line and a Windows XP machine. Not too much trouble with 'em.
