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.
I know you are but what am I? Is that the best you can do?Nobody (Edwin)Alan BakerAlan BakerNobody (Edwin)
when the evidence is that they are the choice of those who really need good computing: literally in this case, rocket scientists.
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.
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?"
That is the normal assumption, Edwin: that people buy things because they find them useful.
At least you finally admit you're only making assumptions.
Sorry, but your assumption is less logical.Alan BakerNobody (Edwin)
YOU have to show that it shouldn't apply in this case.
I noticed you regularly issue commands to others as if you have some sort of authority.
Here's one for you:
YOU have to show YOUR assumptions have any reason to be taken seriously.
