i agree precisely with what tadpole said. I can't believe more people aren't calling apple out on STILL having 1.5 gigs LESS than gmail, which is completely free.
While Apple's .Mac expansion is welcome, it is yet again behind the curve. I've already found a better deal for $95 for two years that includes 10 GB of space, 3.5 terabytes of bandwidth a year and an unlimited amount of email accounts along with my own domain. I'm still glad I gave up my .Mac account.
"ah DRmerle, im not dissing any mac users, im only pointing out the fact that your very viscios types."You ARE dissing me by saying that I'm vicious, I'm really not, but I am willing to defend my choices. I get vicious in return for vicious comments from other people, and in regard to your post I hope I didn't seem like I was being vicious to you, what I intended was a diss back at the whole group of people who call us Zealots, or like the USA Today stooge called us, lemmings."i like windows! that dosnt make me a bufoon." Right, it doesn't make you a bufoon, in fact, if you are one of the Windoze users who actually knows enough to keep it working, you are certainly pretty smart. The buffoons are the people who know absolutely nothing about computers but insist on using Windoze because it is ubiquitous. And then there are the other buffoons, the people who call us Mac users Zealots. That is the Windoze user I was trying to target with my comment. I realize you have to be smart to run Windoze and keep it working, but that doesn't mean that it isn't worthwhile to use a Mac and save yourself the trouble. Us Mac users defend our position because we are happy with our choice, and we aren't Zealots because of it, some maybe, but those people are typically the ones who only chose it because it's pretty and don't really realize what it is they are defending in the first place.<a class="user" href="http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Zealot">http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=Zealot</a>We are mostly not zealots, we are logical people who are willing to defend something because it works for us. Many Windoze power users are zealots because they fanatically defend something that they know damn well is too complicated to work for the average person who owns it. Admit it, how much time do you spend helping people you know keep their Windoze machines working? Do you ever consider being honest with them and telling them they have the choice to either learn to do tons of maintenance, or buy a computer that doesn't require it?
DrMerle,I think there is something wrong with your keyboard, for some reason when you type the letters "ws" the letters "ze" are actually getting sent to your computer. You should look into it, it is very annoying. Thanks, have a nice day.
