You still driving that G4 or did you move to a Windows Machine?

Look at the headers.

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US;

He's on a Mac. Why would he downgrade?

You don't buy a wide guage train when the tracks are all narrow guage.


They've been wide-guage whereever I want to go...

Any time you want a piece of software, you have to get a special
version (and no I won't use the emulator).

No, I don't. Most of the software I use has no equivalent on any other
OS.
Hogwasher, for example, is a Mac-only newsreader. If I need to use some
Windows-only software, I move over to my Windows box. The fact that I
haven't
even booted my Windows box in over three weeks should let you know how
affected I am...

If you are looking for a particular piece of software, chances are the
first one you find will be for windows.


Nope. Not the stuff I use on a daily basis.


Lucky you.


Not especially. There are millions more like me.


Why use a minority?


Because it does what I want, the way I want to do it, when I want to do it,
and doesn't give me any grief.


This is not unique to Macs.


Never said it was.


Minorities must be extinguished.


Now you're sounding crazy.


Why dya say that?


Re-read what you said.
