Default The Mac is like a modern day Betamax

It might be better but why the hell would anyone buy one? The Mac is cute,
but not very functional.

The war is over and Microsoft won -- sorry, Apple.

The only reason the Mac is still alive is because of Microsoft. Bill Gates
has said that he doesn't want the Mac to die because his company makes big
bucks off of them.

But seriously, maybe some creative people from Apple will stop wasting
their time on their Fisher-Price toy and help develop the PC beyond what
it is today.

I have a womb full of Macs and they are simply the most expensive bits of
modern day mans costume jewellery I can't imagine leaving home with a piece.
Microsoft are the Ford of its industry Apple is the Rolls Royce. All
superior.

But I appreciate your opinion as hollow as it is and as shallow as it was
intended.

May God bless you.

Please describe how it is 'not very functional', otherwise people may just
think you're a troll.

Those pwetty colors you so smugly point out are for a select
few who have tasthte, and doesn't mean we are gay or any
such thing, you.

So, what can a Mac do that a PC can't?
