RE: [DMCForum] Re: computerclock



Now let's see:

The Mac is perceived to be underpowered - - TRUE!

The Mac looks different from most computers - - TRUE!

The Mac has somewhat less software available - - TRUE!

MAC owners are obsessvie - - TRUE!


Now let's see:

The DeLorean is perceived to be underpowered - - TRUE!

The DeLorean looks different than most cars - - TRUE!

The DeLorean has somewhat fewer parts available -
TRUE!

DeLorean owners are obsessive - - TRUE!

So it seems to me that any DeLorean owner would
naturally gravitate to the Mac.

Yes, I have IBM clones in my business as well as
Mac's.  We have had two service calls on the Macs in
the past 5 years.  We average two service calls a
year, each on the IBM clones.

Macmania may be hard to understand until you work with
both sets of machines.  Sort of like DeLoreanmania.

Maybe I should get on a rant about my Moots vs
Cannondale, Specialized, et al!!   NAH!
