Your point here being Apple is to blame for a higher cost of ownership,
because they have been able to deliver some real upgrades of their OS, while
M$ hasn't managed anything more than bugfixes in the last 3-4 years?
Woah, My Atari hasn't had any upgrade in 12 years. It must be the best...
Dan, why don't ya put a sock in it for once. Don't enter discussions when
you are not prepared to listen to other members' arguments or adjust your
opinion when someone else has a stronger argument.
Maybe you should set up your own Apple/Mac/Steve-bashing list.
Cheers, Pascal
