Mr. Sunder:
Unfortunately, about the only thing you are showing is your lack
of ability to read for content. Read my post again, I said
absolutely *nothing* about stability, usability, or anything else
regarding Mac OS. My observation was solely that Ed's Windows claims
and his resulting characterization of switchers as "idiots" were
ludicrous.
I've been in the computer software business for over 25 years, and
programmed professionally on 10 or 15 platforms in as many languages.
You can double that if you add "hobby" programming. Hardly as
narrow-minded and inflexible as you attempt to label me. Strangely
enough, I am pretty much in agreement with you on the rest of your
post.
