Right you are, sir.

The Unix programmed OS is an incredibly stable platform. Not only does it prevent system crashes, but even program crashes. Also, both the OS and the majority of 3rd party programs are written to 64 bit now, which isn’t yet true in the PC world.

And, of course, the hackers aren’t that interested in Macs, (not enough of them to bring the World to a premature end) And some of the simpler security measures are much simpler on a Mac–like signing in and working as a non-administrator so some Bozo can’t take over your entire machine and destroy you!

How are you enjoying the interface? Cool huh?

I think you’re way ahead of the average computer user. I’d be unable to put a computer together and configuring every part of it. I love the concept of Linux, but I know it wouldn’t bode well for me if I tried to install and configure it myself. Steve-O’s software so far seems to be all I need–but that’s only because I’m not a power user.

Not sure about that websiteoutlook though. According to them, you could buy two Googles for the price of a Yahoo!

I say the site should totally sell itself out. Money equals power. Hit the viewers softly, subtly, subliminally with that AA shit while rackng in the ad revenues from big, dumb, money grubbing, mainstream corporate America and the world…oops, I meant the big, nice, reputable, socially conscious yet amazingly profitable companies of the world.

So,
step 1, invent a hook
step 2, get public to be hooked
step 3, make money,
step 4, activate subliminally implanted mental triggers
step 5, take over the world
step 6, save humanity from itself

I think it’s mostly the Unix-based OS that make them more secure and reliable. Unix systems hardly ever crash. I’m admittedly still learning about it, but the installs are totally different too. I think that the installations go much deeper into the OS when you install new programs on Windows, but it doesn’t seem to go that deep on OS–it’s more just like a program running off a disk. I could be wrong about this, but I installed and uninstalled and reinstalled (still learning) Firefox yesterday, and it was more similar to deleting a file than uninstalling a program.

Maybe the more “shallow” installs make it harder for virus makers?

Plus, think about the fact that Apple makes both the software/OS and the computers. They may be more compatible based on the fact that they come from the same place.

King,

You’re a designer, right? You probably use Macs all the time, right? Is everything I said above correct?
