RE : "what is wrong with owning a Mac" No idea, they seamed OK On the rare occasions I have used one, but owning one has all the street cred of being a Spice Girl's fan.

I guess it is because like AOL, the Mac was originally designed to be easy for total idiots to use. And when the Imac came out it was mostly sold on looks rather than functionality, and most of what you paid for was the "designer looks" not the computer itself, so aimed at even stupider idiots.

RE : "what does that have to do with AOL?" AOL users have the same reputation.

My apologies to all the Mac users I just offended I was just answering the question. I don't have a problem with Mac users (my sister is one) and as I said "they seamed OK an the rare occasions I have used one". I don't make the rules of style (and I rarely follow them). If I did have any say in the matter, anyone NOT using an Amiga would be the ones considered "red haired stepchildren".
