The reason people switch to macs is because they cannot handle simple tasks. Isnt the main thing said by new mac users is 'it just works' meaning 'I couldnt figure out windows' . The main users of macs are liberal arts students and hippies .. and we all know the technical level of these people.
You apparently haven't been around Macs recently. *Many* technical people, *especially* Unix and security admins, have started using Macs because they provide all the functionality of Unix with a beautiful GUI on top. Besides, I'll put the technical prowess of a liberal arts major up against the technical prowess of a computer science major *any* day, and spot them two full months to study. CS majors can code like monkeys, but they don't have a clue how a computer works. :-) -- Paul Schmehl (pauls () utdallas edu) Senior Information Security Analyst The University of Texas at Dallas http://www.utdallas.edu/ir/security/ _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
