I have seen nothing in Vista that makes me want to ditch my iBook. I’ll pick up an Intel MacBook when the Leopard OS is launched.

PC’s aren’t too bad if you keep it simple. I use a P4 Dell at work (I’m an accountant) and we stick to NT 5.0 (2000) – it’s much, much more stable than any other Windows platform. A very expensive Sophos contract helps too…

Always avoid self professed ‘characters’, or self-professed ‘wacky’ people, they are almost certainly going to be the exact opposite, but cunningly they will wear novelty felt hats to try and prove otherwise. Like those jester hats with bells on the ends, they never fail to immediately negate humour.

You forgot my Scary Devil Monastery sign off – which is all hardware sucks, all software sucks, and all users suck, although, it is clearly incontrovertible.

And lets’ not start on Linux. I haven’t felt the need to write my own operating system ever, so why start now?

I agree with your comment on Windows Teletubby edition. I might rant on Vista at some point too, but to do that, I’d need to get some software that actually works on it. Wankers.

Oh, for the record, the insufferable bore comment is mostly aimed at two of my colleagues who are semi-regular readers of my blog. Hah, the fools! Who sadly are insufferable. This may have something to do with why I am always angry.

Windows sucks. I don’t know what exactly it sucks, but it does, hard enough to take the chrome off a ’57 chevy tail lamp cluster.

You should try linux and enjoy the lurrve…. Hey it’s free. What more do you want?

I agree with you, Chris, about computers. It’s a phony war that Angry Steve is waging. But don’t say cunted. I wouldn’t doubt your feminist credentials, but there’s just no need for it in the context of a computer breaking down.

Knobjockey on the other hand is very amusing.
