Dammit. I'm trying to start a flame war here, between Linux nerds,
Windows loosers and those really cool people who use macs, and that
response isn't helping. You suck.

I am the greatest troll ever!

Fear my wrath!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had believe completely that you were a 13 years old girl...
Maybe because your mind it's like the one of a 13 year old child
and you like to wear girl's dresses.

The only people for me are the mad ones -- the ones who are mad to live,
mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time,
the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn
like fabulous yellow Roman candles.

Hey, my oldest daughter is 13 and she's got way more sense that this
idiot. For that matter, my youngest does too, and she's only four!

Sorry, but I prefer to think the best of someone until I have evidence
otherwise. There ARE occasionally people who come here asking honest
questions, so there's no reason to attack someone right off the bat.

Of course, once someone proves themselves to be a troll, all bets are
off.

That's the point where Ragosta flies off the handle spreading FUD,
waving and making *stupid* statements such as "PC users spend *all* of
their time troubleshooting Windows", not to mention the whining and
bitching like a little girl and the "I don't know how to top pop-ups,
therefore I'm going to spend money on a new computer", while at the same
time he uses Windows extensively at *his* company.
Furthermore, he is *so* clueless about Windows, utterly and definitely,
that he doesn't even know that adaware, spybot and all anti-virus
programs run in the background.
Seems that this is the week that Ragosta has had a taste of his foot, if
not *both* of his feet, on a daily basis.

LOL

That's funny since you're the one running around like a mad man spewing
all sorts of lies.

Nope. I never made that statement.

Wrong. We've applied several popup blockers and they don't work. PC
Magazine also agrees that the best popup blocker only gets 80%

So you join Edwin in being too stupid to understand. Figures.
Furthermore, he is *so* clueless about Windows, utterly and definitely,

Yet they still require some user interaction. Regardless, they don't
work.

Not at all. But, then, since you've demonstrated a complete inability to
tell the truth, it's not surprising you think so.

Then you are absolutely defenseless.
Really? In your world 'I need to buy a computer for school work' is 'as
specific as possible'?
Click to expand...

It's specific enough for a 13 year old child, whose biggest
preoccupation is school.
No wonder you are happy with Windows. Facts and details are irrelevant
to you.
Click to expand...

Sweat the details out of that little girl, Joe! LOL

I'm "happy" with Windows for the same reason your employees are...
oops... that means they don't care about "facts and details," eh?
No, that's not the obvious answer.
Click to expand...

Sure it is.
It depends on how everything is set up. For example:

Your knee-jerk reaction

You're the only one giving a "knee-jerk reaction. I didn't advise
'her' against the Mac, or to get Linux or Windows. I told her to get
whatever her school is using. That may well be Macs.
is only the right answer in a very small number
of cases - when she has to submit work electronically in a format that
the Mac won't handle - even via VPC.

A 13 year old child shouldn't be expected to learn two different
computer platforms. End of discusssion.

You know, GW, tried to say this once... Fool me once, shame on you.
Foold me twice shame on...er...er...ahh...point is I won't be fooled again.

How many times have you been fooled?
The question should be - how sad are you to always assume the worst of
people?

Better to be a sad, suspicious of everyone sob, than a pathetic gullible
jackass such as you.

Of COURSE you do. You stand by all your answers - no matter how many

Did you get anyone to explain to you that ATMs are not workstations, yet?

You're confusing me with Joe Ragosta. I admit to errors if they can

Again you confuse me with Joe Ragosta... have you met him? He's the
guy who's supposed to be documenting his claim that Apple outsells all
other Unix vendors combined.

ROTFLMAO. You should probably consider a career as a comedian. After
all, you might as well get paid for it.
yet?

Of course. I'm the one who keeps pointing out how silly it was for you
to claim that ATMs are workstations.

Shrug. Have her learn Linux and Windows-based stuff.
Click to expand...

As Microsoft Windows will be shoved at kids by the government through
schools because Bill G's made some charitable donation or other, then you
can be sure that your kids will learn about Microsoft Windows anyway.
Rather than have them believe that computing is really that bad, you
can do what I've done, which is allow your kids to experience the huge
range of other operating systems which are out there.

Freedos, Linux, BSDs are all, err, free & open. I think you can get a
version of BeOS for free, licensing is not open, but you can still try it.
Solaris x86 I think is a free download (if enormous). DRDOS is free for
personal use, and CP/M-86 is still bootable on a modern PC, although it
lacks the richness of software which more modern OSes have.

I've you've the money to spare, a Mac and OSX might be of interest.
Also, the latest incarnation of OS/2 is still around, although it's
had a name change. It has staunch fans, and is still considered to
be a better windows than windows by many of those people. You pay,
though.

My kids have no problem with using different OSes, so don't be fooled
by the marketing people who tell you that 'one way is best', it's not.

Thanks. And you ought to consider a career change that would allow you to
