It's very expensive for our company to keep all the Windoze boxes
functioning. Most of my associates are "experts" and
do a reasonable job at controlling the mess at work. Most of us
don't use windoze full time at home, it's just to big a headache.
I talked a friend into dumping her XP laptop and getting an iBook.
She was pretty upset with it for the first week or so, but she has
warmed up to it. Now you can't shut her up she raves about it so
much. She's a total novice, and was the perfect "mark"
for all the malware vomit spewed into her windoze life. Her old
dell laptop?, the cat got to it and damn near caught it on fire, it's
now languishing in the dump.<br>
<br>
BTW: dell's quality control doesn't exist anymore, they are ravenous
about squeezing price and schedule from their suppliers. The net
result is a pc that is a hyped piece of crap foisted on an
unsuspecting public. It's the physical equivalent of the vicious
malware that comes to dominate the hard drive 8 minutes after you
connect to the web.<br>
