> Pinging dayglored and Shadow Ace for their Ping List groups.

Well, I appreciate the ping, but unless you crave a bunch of riled-up (see "Surface Book") Windows fans coming here to trash Apple and mock your Apple-positive statistics from MacDailyNews, I think discretion is the better part of valor here. Hell, your own ping to the Apple list got beat by publius911 jumping in the slander Apple customers as perverts. No need to make it worse....

I'll wait for the Windows-positive tech press to see the Gartner figures and write articles about how Apple is doing well while PCs continue to tank.

The articles should be out any minute... Holding my breath.... Turning blue...

(Geez at least you'd think The Register would save my life... Maybe I'll post this one: PC shipments slump in Q3, thanks to free Windows 10 ... that ought to liven things up...)

Damn, dayglored, and here I was, dusting off the Popcorn Cart. . . and about to ping ThunderSleeps so he could sell Cotton Candy. . .

Or referee, which ever seems more beneficial. . .

Maybe ambulance services, would be more in order?

Next recession Apples PC share will tumble. Only idiots spend 5 times more on an Apple laptop. Chromebooks do 90% of what the average computer user needs and the latest 14 and 15 inch and 16 inch are in the $300 to $500 range. A fool and his money are soon parted.

What I find a hoot, is that "this" horde, the one with ~90% marketshare - accuse the 7% of being a cult. Yet, when you look at the behavior; who is more cultish? Who cannot tolerate anyone deviating from their established pattern? How dare anyone in America have any choice of tools in how they do their personal business?

I find that as most Mac users are well versed in using Windows machines. I have worked R&D in the PC industry for over 25 years, there isn't a whole lot that goes on in that motherboard that I'm not intimately aware of. I know how Windows works, better than most. And, I find that most Mac Users are fully versed in using Windows - they typically use them at work.

Yet, the average Mac hater doesn't have a clue as to even turn a Mac 'On'; or perform the most basic task on a Mac. Yet, all Mac users are perverts, hippies, and idiots. I wonder it this group includes Rush Limbaugh, who is a well known Mac enthusiast as well as a member of the Mac Developer's group?
