Alan BakerI know you are but what am I? Is that the best you can do?

I assumed nothing.
Sure you did.
Incorrect.
You assumed Macs are "fancy, overpriced toys"
I see you subscribe to the notion one can make a thing true by repeating it enough times.
That would be you.
When are you going to prove your "underlying assumption" that buying Macs proves Macs are needed? Or what you ignored, proving that "rocket scientists" are buying Macs because they need "good computing?"Alan Bakerwhen the evidence is that they are the choice of those who really need good computing: literally in this case, rocket scientists.Nobody (Edwin)
Your assumptions are not evidence of any kind. You haven't shown who at the JPL is buying Macs, nor shown anything but their contempt for the taxpayers who foot their bills.
Sorry, but unless you can prove your underlying assumption, it shows nothing of the kind.
More laughing? Can't think of answers?Alan BakerNobody (Edwin)Alan BakerNobody (Edwin)Alan BakerNobody (Edwin)Alan BakerThe simpler conclusion is that if people are still buying Macs when there is a cash crunch, it's probably because they value them highly for their needs.Nobody (Edwin)
More likely it's because they don't value the taxpayers' hard-earned money as much as they do their fancy toys.
Based on your prior assumptions...
Incorrect.Did your fingers get too tired to type a response?Strange that a Canadian is justifying the spending of U.S. tax dollars...
I noted that people who have the means to choose whatever tool works best for them... ...are choosing Macs in larger numbers.
Point out the place you noted that. Your unsupported assumption was simply that people at the JPL must need Macs because they're using U.S. taxpayer money to buy them, in spite of claiming they weren't immune to budget cuts.
The fact that they continue to buy them in the face of budget cuts makes my case stronger.
It only shows your earlier remarks about the effect of budget cuts on the purchase of expensive toys were incorrect.
LOL
Asks the guy who answers with "LOL" as if he gets paid a penny every time he does!Alan BakerNobody (Edwin)Alan Baker:-)Nobody (Edwin)
You forgot to explain why you're justifying the spending of U.S. tax dollars, smiley. The obvious answer is you're a paid Apple shill.
LOL
How much does Apple pay you to shill?
It's so much easier than actually engaging in argument of your points, isn't it?
But then, you've lost so many arguments, haven't you?Have I?
