Compare...

And...does this surprise anyone? Microsoft started out by ripping off Apple...and they have never really stopped.

I don't see any reason to think they'd work any other way.

and apart from the Apple 2 and 3, Apple started off by ripping off Xerox ... so ??


Bug-free software only exisits in two places
A programmer's mind and a salesman's lips

The Apple above still looks way nicer though.

I think the fact that it's jointly built by HP says it all really.

I think it's ugly...

Then again, I think most mac's also look kinda ugly. I was never one for pinstripes.

ugly?
it looks ok to me compare to what I have at my house.

Doesn't beat brushed aluminum and custom, two-tone blue.

Man, what a time that was. Memory problems, two motherboards that didn't work properly, a roof caving in on me, food poisoning and getting robbed.

And part I remember as being the worst? The motherboards. That's how much I hate battling with hardware.

Trib - sure, but at least Apple got tech from xerox that they weren't planning on going forward with anyway....rather than a progressive system-for-system rip-off scheme
