    I work in a computer lab so I am finding these replies amusing

    I work in a computer lab so I am finding these replies amusing. Everyone who uses a

    Mac is capable of using a PC. Not everyone who is uses a PC is capable of using a Mac.

    "Oh no! I can't use a Mac!"

    I think that says a lot.

    Dirty little secret - people who service and maintain computer systems are naturally prejudiced towards a computer systems that will give them job security, increased budgets and mystify their users with problems best solved by a Microsoft Certified Technician or a fully equipped Help Desk Team.

    Look what happened to the Maytag repairman.

    IT professional - "You have to get rid of yourMacs, Apple is going out of business within two years" - 1997 - wishful thinking.
