Most people simply aren't braindead OS bigots like you are George.

And sales figures show that fewer people are brainwashed into believing that Windows is the only possible choice. So besides slinging gratuitous insults, what's your point, Mayor?

Do you mean that 3% World wide who use OSX? Yes, they're few all right.

Alan Baker
Sorry, Zara, but your own recent post agree that 7.4% is the correct figure.

Glorb
You know better than that.

Alan Baker
I'm addressing the contradiction in Zara's posts.

Glorb
Bull.

Alan Baker
Nope. Truth.

Glorb
Nope. Bull.

Alan Baker
I realize you have very little acquaintance with the concept, but truth is what it is.

Glorb
More bull.

Earlier, in this very thread, he posted this:

"I don't know if I really want to buy a new Mac now. With all the lies and bashing the Mac Zealots seem to constantly do - is it worth it?

Market share facts from the new Mac Zealot Bible; http://marketshare.hitslink.com/report.aspx?qprid=10&qpmr=24&qpdt=1&q...

March 7.48% April 7.38%"

He called those figures, "market share facts", not me.

Glorb
I I didn't address a post earlier in the thread. I addressed your bull that said Apple's market share is 7.4% instead of 3%.

Alan Baker
I didn't say that, so how could it be my "bull", Edwin? Zara said it, not me.

Glorb
Read the post and figure it out, asshat.

So you don't actually have an explanation.

Yup, I'd already figured that.

-- "The iPhone doesn't have a speaker phone" -- "I checked very carefully" -- "I checked Apple's web pages" -- Edwin on the iPhone "It is Mac OS X, not BSD.' -- 'From Mac OS to BSD Unix." -- "It's BSD Unix with Apple's APIs and GUI on top of it' -- 'nothing but BSD Unix' (Edwin on Mac OS X) '[The IBM PC] could boot multiple OS, such as DOS, C/PM, GEM, etc.' -- 'I claimed nothing about GEM other than it was available software for the IBM PC. (Edwin on GEM) 'Solaris is just a marketing rename of Sun OS.' -- 'Sun OS is not included on the timeline of Solaris because it's a different OS.' (Edwin on Sun)
