FoxTrot Classics by Bill Amend for January 05, 2011

Any enemy of Macs is a friend of mine.

I’d suggest that Jason threaten to install Jasondows™ if the iFruit refuses to play his games, but that won’t work: This machine came out before they came with the “Intell inside” warning label.

Why does it want a hug? It can’t feel anything.

Then you stuck in the past and are doing something wrong with your Windows system. I haven’t had a Windows system do a fatal error on me for over 10 years now. How about joining the rest of us in the 21st century?

“What are you doing, Jason?

Stop, Jason.

Stop, Jason.

Daaizzy, Daaizzy……….

It’s true about a Mac. They work everytime. Although, I do miss Excel. That is one powerful software. Too bad it isn’t compatible with Macs. VB Applications is fun to work with!

I don’t get all the slamming of windows… I have yet to ever have windows crash.

The laptop I received as my first computer finally refused to recognize Cocomics although the main drive was only 97% full. I begged on bended knew, I rebooted, and I even dusted 6 years of dirt of it , to no avail. Eating pasta 3 night a week is a small price to pay for a machine that returns your love.

Andy is so stupid for buying that piece of junk.

I’m reading this with my iPad. I don’t get the stupid interactive stuff at the bottom of the page that I get with a PC or a Mac. It’s nice not seeing that junk.

twypsi, I’ve been running Microsoft Office, of which Excel, Word, and PowerPoint are parts, on Macs since the early ’90s. It works just fine.

Andy bought it just because it was cute, not for it’s usability. She found later that Macs couldn’t play the majority of games Jason wanted.

@darkeforce: Which begs the question, just what have you been doing to your poor computers?

Honestly, its not that hard to not throw your computer down a flight of stairs. I promise.

People just need to learn not to be stupid on the internet, and PC’s do not get viruses. Its really not that hard. I’ve been using PC my whole life , and the only times I got viruses where back when I was around 10.

twypsi, I am running Microsoft Office 2011 on my MacBook as I type this! Have had Office on every Mac since… well, forever. Only downside is (as michaelwme mentions) no Access (comes with Outlook, Word, Excel, and Powerpoint). Oh well. Small price to pay for a damn-near bullet-proof OS.

People buy into this hype that Macs are immune to viruses and don’t have as many problems as Windows. It must be some delicious KoolAid you’re drinking, because Apple Sofware is right behind Adobe software in total number of bugs (Microsoft is #3).

A lot of Mac users use bootcamp or a Windows VM, so really, you’re still using Windows. If you don’t disable all of the security on a PC and don’t behave like an idiot, your computer is just as “safe” as a Mac. I put that in quotes because security through obscurity is not true security.

I’m not saying Macs are bad. But seriously… this whole “PCs are dumb Macs are infallible” is really sad and completely untrue. Obviously some people have never heard of the Mac’s counterpart to the BSOD: “Spinning Wheel of Death.”

PCs don’t need to get a virus to crash, leave it to itself and it will die of it’s own devices.
