Time to move to WINDOWS or UNIX.

True geeks still use *nix* .
The rest of us have lives.
I remember when Macs stopped being 'business computers' when my local bank in 1990 switched to a Windows only online banking system. And my company switched to buying PC's limited computers from this guy in Texas in the late 80's.
I knew Macs were going mainstream again when my mother switched, despite her broker telling her 'The software is expensive and a lot of financial software won't work on them'.

"Think Different" doesn't have as much meaning these days!
And that's ok.

Then they can knock themselves out on Macs. Mac OS X is a certified Unix OS and Terminal is a geek's best friend.

Eh, my relatives still offer me their old PCs out of pity. In case I want a real computer.
So all is not lost.
Although now that I think of it, my brother, the last to try that, just experienced a ridiculous replace-your-hard-drive-lose-your-data virus meltdown. He may come over.
I admit it, that doesn't make me as happy as it would have ten years ago.
I am evil.
