Actually, I consider Swordmaker a social worker, donating his valuable time to do a much needed public service.
For every person he helps make the switch to Mac, there is one less frustrated computer user. The ones he probably helps the most are the small business owners of the US, who are responsible for most of the job creation in the country.
The small business owners cannot afford IT workers on the payroll and certainly can't afford "down-time". They need reliable computers to stay competitive.
Macs are trhe most reliable computers for small business, hands down. We have used them for years for just this reason.
That may very well be, but after spending a lifetime working with technical disciplines, architecture, mechanical, electrical, structural and civil engineering, geodesy, photogrametry, fluid mechanics and astronomy, and having visited dozens of professional offices hundreds of time, I can't recall ever seeing a single Mac.
Mind you, I'm not claiming that there weren't any, but if so, they were very well hidden, or perhaps used in the cafeterias.
On the other hand, I must agree with you, if I ever open an organic tea shop or a sandals shop, I would probably get a Mac.
Thanks, Jacquej. These Windows flacks don't see their doing the same thing, over and over, expecting a different result as being insane... (shame on me... I used Argumentum ad Hominem, tch tch tch.)
