Despite that, their commercial a few months ago about Vista's security was spot on.

And I wa shappy to learn that PC can still come with XP for the forseeable future. I like the flaws I know verus learning all the new flaws.

"Despite that, their commercial a few months ago about Vista's security was spot on." Yes!

'Long as I got my plastic Jeezus on the monitor of my PC!

A Army Of (Cl)One: PC is a lot funnier. And after service pack 2, WinXP is actually a very stable operating system, kind of like 3.1. Vista is a hard sell, though. It just seems like more clicks for less tasks, and I agree, rather the devil that I know than the devil that I don't know.

At Sat Nov 10, 06:44:00 AM, Dr. Zaius said...: I disagree. Macs are annoying at home or at work, and PCs are too!
At Sat Nov 10, 07:50:00 AM, Swinebread said...: the annoying aspects are different for both

…but the crappy security with the PC is a deal buster for me.
At Sat Nov 10, 08:58:00 AM, Randal Graves said...: Dr. Zaius, funny you should mention that. One of the computers here at work has crapped out. What's missing? Exactly.

Now I must channel some of that down home I have sinned Jimmy Swaggart speechifyin'.

My laptop is great at graphics, has a user friendly interface, and has no virus problems.

The Macs win around here.
At Sun Nov 11, 12:11:00 PM, Dr. Zaius said...: Swinebread: Actually, MAcs don't really have good security - hackers just aren't as interested and viruses and spyware are just not written for macs because they are such a small part of the personal computer population. The few viruses written for Macs have been pretty devastating.

Randal Graves: Bianary digits loves them some jeebus!

MWB: Right click on something. (Made you look!) Find the same freeware progam for a Mac as you can for a PC? Not bloody likely. They both suck.

Kimono Hime: I'm not convinced. Perhaps you have merely decided that one is less annoying than the other.
