I know most PC's run GUI's, but they are Operating ENVIRONMENTS, not
OS'es. Unless you count NT, which is actually decent in most respects,
although not as clean as MacOS or X. As far as wanting a mac, I never
said I did, but if I had to choose a mac over a Win95 machine, I'd take
the Mac just so I wouldn't have to fuck with it. In the real world,
productivity (i.e. actual work) is far more important than anything else.
Tell someone with no computing experience which OS they would much
rather use, and it's about 3 to 2, Mac over PC. Yes, these are actual
statistics from "Personal Computer Satisfaction", published by
Evans Research Associates, April 1996. They compared Mac & Win95 units.
So there.

Know more about computers than people with PhD's in CS, but have never
heard of Rhapsody? Hmmm...Maybe you go to Dumbfuck State College (tm)
or something. Read anything that has to do with the current state of
affairs in computers and you'll see mention of it.
