how can you prefer one thing over another if you haven't use the other? or even know there was another?

most people see windows and apples and know nothing else. Everyone I've talked to that's used windows has always had nothing but complaints... that's before i mention -not- using windows.

intresting response, full of shit though.



From a reply to your post there:
"On my 98SE machines OE is not even installed."

OE isn't the security risk, IE is - and I'd bet money he has IE6 installed. In fact he said he uses Eurdora, which uses the IE HTML engine to render html attachments, so therefore he is still at risk.

i signed up to windowsbbs and tried to have an "real" discussion about linux. Well, i was banned for saying linux. at least, that is what i assume, since my post wasn't derogatory, or "flaming" in any manner. It was a simple question. Anyways. after that, i said fuck that site and havent been back since.

my god the guy that last replied was a moron... (i won't say that there though, that gets you banned) you look at that thread? other than the fact that i was asleep when i was posting (still need to go to bed), it seems to be going well. they are rather dumb though.

Yep, I could argue with every single statement he made, but people like that are completly dense.

So.... none of the users at the WBBS have ever used Linux? Goodness, you have quite the ESP.  :D

some have, most haven't. and those who have, used an old version and given up. similar to how i've only used a mac classic and haven't used a mac since.

Yes. I don't see any reason to give WindowsBBS an eMail address, I don't particually like Rose City Software.

i gave them my spam address, but that wasn't my point. i thought you were replying to my post, implying that i said that. it was just a misunderstanding.

If you want to make credible argument with those people, you can't make broad assumptions like that.
Or rather than talk about the last MacOS I used, I would talk about how quickly I learned to use it.
