  1. Another Panther only update. Jaguar users can head to the back of the bus and right on out the back door. Apple’s got as much use for you as David Duke does for an African American love-child.

  2. jfbiii,

    Ok baby… trade in your Apple and go back to Windows. As my pop used to say… “Be careful what you ask for… you might get it.”

    I used to run a Kaypro IV with a CP/M operating system… That was 1979 and it was a heck of a lot more stable than any Windows version I’ve seen since… including 2000Pro and XP.

    For the last two years I’ve been Mac based, and I’ve never been so happy. I’d just like to forget about that W operating system that I was forced to use for a decade.

    So, jfbiii: Go back to Windows… or are you just all talk?

  3. From where did you get the idea that Apple has to give everything away free?
    To create an update takes huge amount of work that costs money. When you buy a computer you make a budget for software and updates. Os X is way cheaper than Windows. Last year i bought .Mac ($99), Keynote ($99) and Panther ($129) this year iLife ($49). I am very happy with these. These apps have saved me money compared to Windows crap.( I can easily spend more than $100 if I go out on a saturday night. This money for these apps is money well spent.) I would be complaining about the prices if Apple software sucked and they had $52 billion cash and they would fight against viruses with posters.

  4. Here’s the jfbiii troll again. Make the switch back, please, or quit trolling in disguise. I went to this forum to get away from this troll on the other forum, and here he is, and here he is still angry. I bet he is not even using a Mac.
    Troll, Troll, Troll.

  5. Hang around troll, we haven’t much excitement since Ron left us.

    Poor Ron the misguided Windroid from hell.

    I hear he’s using a Mac now and in full recovery.

    MICROSOFT TO CHARGE FOR SENDING EMAIL

    That’s a fact, as a solution to spam M$ has proposed to charge to send a email.

    Since 99% of SPAM is created by virus borged PC’s, pitty the ignorant fool who gets targeted by a new virus.

    Stupid Microsoft, always looking for a profit instead of a solution.

  6. lets not forget the added value of buying some of those free apps from Apple. I don’t have to open crappy cd’s when i buy a camera and i can definatly skip those demo discs i get as well since what i have works.

  7. “Another Panther only update. Jaguar users can head to the back of the bus and right on out the back door. Apple’s got as much use for you as David Duke does for an African American love-child.”

    Oh yeah!

    Give me Windows XP Professional any day!

    Only $290.00 from a DISCOUNT retailer, and all the worms and security patches you can carry! LOL!

    No thanks Troll.

    Some of us on this planet have a brain, and work to do.
