Capitalism is highly inefficient, it diverts energy into making things work that do not really need or want. In regard to factories: if they are build only for profit, we dont need them. If we need them, we will build them. It's like your argument about the state, it works in averse conditions (capitalism), it will work better in optimal conditions(a free society). Thank you for the work!

[VaQm10]

But Stef, we're not opening a small store. The system proposed is COMPLETELY different than the one we have now. All the work you put into opening that store is to calculate how you can profit and see how you get people to buy there. But the work should go into realising that which you and others NEED. (which probably isnt another little grossary store, competing with the 20 or so other others in the area)

[VaQm10]

@ Stef. I really appreciate your efforts to futher the cause of a stateless society. I'd like to comment on what you said about A-C. We should put the same effort in thinking out the details as if we were opening up a small grossery store, is what you said.

And if you find that Macs don't suit your needs - that is fantastic. Really. I don't really care. lol

But don't trash something because you don't understand it - that displays your ignorance in this conversation.

A lot of windows users don't get OS X, but that is mainly because they are expecting it to be as cumbersome and poorly designed as Windows and PCs remain.

Just as almost all cellphones copy the iPhone design (2nd hand) - why not just buy the REAL thing? If you can afford too. Most do.

[PsyogiBottoms]

And you have yet to explain 'your' experience - you have only stated - 'My experience exactly'

Did you, as well, have a niece that returned 2 macs because they couldn't get them to 'work' or had 'profound' (still waiting to hear what was so profound) problems?

That is like someone calling a complicated machine a piece of shit because they can't find the 'on' button.

One's lack of knowledge does not a Piece of Shit make - other than making one.

Unlike windows, Mac's OS is self-healing as well.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Well that is your opinion. I can not be held accountable for your personal interpretation of words. I meant 'retarded' as in the definition: To cause to move or proceed slowly; delay or impede. I didn't not use the slang term 'a retard' in the negative *that's your own issue, I'm afraid.

And you are incorrect 'in fact' that the no. of virus is due to largest number of users (that is a true misnomer).

It is because clients do not have direct code access to the OS - which was based on Linux.

[PsyogiBottoms]

However, yes, most rednecks would be intimidated and very out of element driving around in ta 911 Turbo. They are better suited to their hot rod trucks and Chevy kit cars.

But not everyone is a ignorant redneck, hopefully, and for the rest of us - we'll take the 911 over the Pick'em Up truck with its truck nuts to make it cool. lol

Yes pompous assholes buy these products because they want to appear elite - however that isn't the product's fault. That is just the desires of a 2nd hander.

[PsyogiBottoms]

Quite honestly I didn't want to use Macs originally either - I was perfectly happy with my PC until I was forced to have to work on Macs for my Graphic Design business.

Once you actually learn the interface and use one for more than a couple weeks - you can totally tell the difference in the passion, thought and consideration put into the Mac's overall design and interface for humans.

For those that 'get it' - The Design is practically pornographic. It is the sexiest OS out there bar none.

[moonreft]

The number of viruses is less because the largest number of users is in fact a PC. Linux can be used in this argument as well but your premise is a misnomer. The retarded commit goes to show that further conversation on my part would be futile. My experience is my experience. Good luck with your bait the switch tactics. Playing the shame game no longer works with people of a sound mind. This started to reverse in the mid 1980's

[PsyogiBottoms]

Macs, by design, are for those people. Those that require the best and can afford to pay the little bit extra to have: Superior stability, intuitive interface, rock solid security, speed and MOSTLY reliability.

The aren't the most popular because there aren't that many Creators in the world.

However there would be more if everyone had access to the same tools. I believe.

It isn't the same as preferring Toyota over Honda, it is Porsche over Mustang. And don't even embarrass yourself trying.
