you Mac fanatics might like this story - kap - 09-29-2010
Wife had to to take a Metro (So CAL) train to one of her distant job sites this morning. She was at the departing station early to purchase a ticket and to enjoy some java. There were a few other passengers as well. She called me up and ranted, "I will have to wait for next train because the first one left without me on it! Why, one computer is broke; the other one is so slow." Pause. "It's Windows!!!" I could see my normally calm wife was fuming but I had to laugh out loud.

Wait... so the computers controlling the trains and their schedules are Windows based, or the job site she was heading to is running Windows computers?

The clock on the Windows computer she looked at before she left was running slow, and the Mac she usually uses for that purpose is broken for some reason?
If so, not exactly a sterling statement about Macs.

The computers that dispense train tickets run on Windows OS. Her G4 powerbook running on Panther alerted her to be at the train station as scheduled
