That made me smile, I liked the shrine to Jobs, its almost a cult as they say

Rik · Nov 08, 2009, 19:00:36

Indeed.

Sebby · Nov 08, 2009, 19:03:11

Brilliant!

When he left Apple their fortunes dived, a few years later he came back, and the rest as they say is history.

That was as biased as it could be, it must have been written by a Mac Fanboy or a MS Hater

Rik · Nov 08, 2009, 19:05:41

Stop it, Den, I said no flaming.

(It was a Unix fanboy anyway

)

I knew it was one of them and not one of us.

They missed some stuff out - ignoring the Microsoft cafe, which means the pics of gates adorning the walls is enough to put anyone off.

They forgot to mention that at the apple cafe, you only get one one brand of coffee - no variety

Sebby · Nov 08, 2009, 22:52:08

It seems they also forget to mention that at the Linux cafe it's so difficult to order a coffee that you'll probably end up going without.

D-Dan · Nov 08, 2009, 23:03:32

Did I forget to mention, I posted my last post from a comfortable Microsoft cafe, drinking Linux coffee while admiring apple mugs?

Sebby · Nov 08, 2009, 23:12:32

Ever used a Mac, Steve?

D-Dan · Nov 08, 2009, 23:14:57

I have as it happens - and whilst they are stable - troubleshooting is a PITA (I had a guy's from work here a full weekend fixing it).

So yes - I have experience of all three.

I find Mac much more enjoyable to live with, end of. No one is forcing me to use it. That doesn't make me, or any other Apple user a mug.

D-Dan · Nov 08, 2009, 23:32:24

LOL - that wasn't what I meant. It was a tribute to Apple styling - not an inflammatory remark about the users.

Sebby · Nov 08, 2009, 23:45:42

Understood.

Couldn't resist a poke in the ribs

Gary · Nov 09, 2009, 00:01:46

This is all getting very dull after a funny start, again

Sebby · Nov 09, 2009, 00:02:52

I have to agree. It seems that some just can't resist.

Rik · Nov 09, 2009, 09:03:14

Time to close the thread I think. We need to lighten up on platform wars, guys, or we'll destroy the forum.
