...to Absolute Zero???

Last signature I saw of him was "Unbiased, and proud of it" (which was great because he did see good and bad things in both systems) and he hated Mac fanboys (which I totally understand, because fanatism is never good, no matter for what).

And now??? Look at his signature!! He has become a Microsoft-Bill-Gates-Fanboy!!!

OMG, I think we've lost him!!! :( :( :(


:D :D :D

I 'm quite surprised that you only got one person who hates you, knowing the number of fanatic Mac users all around ;)

But good to know you're still there, to keep the balance :D

Absolute Zero, didn't you say you been using a Mac since your first computer? Well, I do understand your point of this but you do "defend" Windows probably more than any other active user. Do you actually like Windows as much or better than a Mac, or do you just respect Windows and Mac alike like I do? :D

There are some defensible things about Windows and I would jump in also to defend it when necessary. But I almost always choose to avoid the Mac v Windows threads. You'll also notice though that I'm always defending and supporting MS software on the Mac.

Of course, I used to work for MS so maybe that has something to do with it...

I respect both platforms, they have their strengths and weaknesses. Give me a PC and I'll gladly switch.

I respect and I use both platforms, but I have a Mac preference. Without being fanatic about it...

Actually, because I use both, I shouldn't call myself a switcher...I'm more like a hybrid user :D

I too have a Mac preference. Although my next computer will most likely be a PC.

Isn't there a rule about sig size limit?
If not, I'd suggest to create that rule, because some people don't seem to have a limit, concerning their sig size, which makes reading their posts somewhat annoying...

Not everybody can afford the new 30" screen, so that a big sig would look small... :D

Yes there is, and the post before yours asked AppleJustWorks to change his sig, so since he's a good netizen, he'll be changing it. Like I have mantioned before, we rely on our users to point some thing out to us since we can not man all the threads since there are only a couple of us moderators. There is an exlamation mark on the left bottom of every post that if clicked will report the post to us moderators so that we can do something about it. We appreciate everyone's help in keeping this forum a friendly place appropriate for all ages, gender, race, os preference, etc. It's you guys that help this place be such a great "hangout" :)

Cheers!

Please remove it until you have changed it. Thanks.
