Glad to hear you have missed me...

Which OS I use? Windoze of course, with some HPUX, Solaris and other Unix flavors thown in too. Oh an the odd mainframe system too. I have coded applications on all of them, and supported those applications, and upgraded them as the OS changed. Looked after the hardware too. So you can imagine I am reasonably well balanced in my IT opinions. I even considered switching to Mac (more than once), and I could tell you why I didn't if you were interested. Never have I seen such a collection of sad people as Mac lovers. Irritated? Sometimes, but mainly highly amused.
There is "being happy with thier OS" and then there is the other extreme, which is "my OS can do no evil". It's funny, as soon as anyone bad-mouths Mac, the defence is usually based on how bad Windows is (see above) not on the Mac thing itself; Mac-heads all close ranks, thus futher blinding themselves to reality. Linux folks do this too to an extent but generally Mac-heads are more socially capable and seem to care that others think they are great (hence the focus on Apple product sytle and image).
I don't need to wait for an Apple virus - seeing Mac-head trying to be compatible with the rest of the world is amusing enough for me. Oh, and watching them pay for Itunes music they can't share
No - I do NOT have an iPod, I have a Zen music player, for all the reasons you can imagine
Happy buffing guys, when you stop being superioir and can integrate seemlessly to other OS platforms, I'll probably join your ranks. Until then I'll stick with the platform which offers more choice.
