Posted By: The Tim <tim@thetimtimes.com> In Response To: Re: Daily Dose of Insight - Copy Protection on New Windoz 'Ipod' (renee)
Friday, 22 September 2006, at 11:50 a.m.
If you must have a PC that's fine. I used to have one. This thread is more about the differences in
the portable player offerings between Windoz and Mac. There is no argument over which O/S-Machine
is best for the average home user. It's a Mac. I just never knew that it was SO SKEWED toward user
satisfaction because I've always had to deal with the Windoz nonsense.
If you're running a brokerage house or some proprietary software that won't port to a Mac then you
probably won't be or shouldn't be using it as an everyday appliance. If I absolutely had to have a
PC for something I'd run to Walmart and drop $300, or I do have the option with this latest Mac
iteration of actually running WIndoz because it's an Intel based motherboard/chipset. I'm not
really knocking Windoz as much as I could/should. I made it work for me for a LONG time. I've
still got the original seven floppy 3.1 version. Also the 27 floppies for installing Office 95 if anybody
wants to make an offer. Mac has a substantially lower advertising footprint once you leave the
portable music realm. I'm sure a lot of folks just don't realize the myriad ways that Mac has innovated
the desktop computer market. From form factor (this new Mini is the coolest piece of electronics I
have purchased since buying the Sony TPS-L2, the first and original cassette walkman $199) to operating system stability, integrity and usability the Mac wins hands down.
You pay extra up front for the quality and innovation. That will/does stop some folks from making
the swith. There is nothing that can be done for them, but there are MANY MANY more who CAN
afford the marginal difference and who JUST DON'T REALIZE how much better off they'd be.
Enjoy.

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so.

You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
