Some people know a dog when they see one.  Others have to actually
spend time and (too much) money before they see the dog as a dog.
Still others can be mauled for years and still carry on in ignorant
bliss.  Where do you fit in?

Just so you know where I fit in...

In 82, I bought a 64k, 1 floppy, mono IBM PC with printer.  ~ $3,600.
IBM never got any more of my money.

In 84 I bought a 128k mac, external floppy and Imagewriter. ~ $4,000.
$5,000 later it is an accelerated plus.  I have spent more money on 
the damn thing than what I paid for a new truck last year.  I gave it
to my wife.  She hates computers, loves the mac.

I bought 3 used 3b1s for under $1,000 total about 4 years ago, learned
unix, and now make a living at it.  Apple can go piss in the wind.
I have been mauled enough.

Now, before you go jumping on me for putting apple down, take a deep
breath for each percent of the cost of macs that is pure profit.  By the
time you finish, you will have forgotten why you were upset at me.
