50 million followers of Manson-like Steve Jobs spread all over the world? Hmm 
quite a large cult don't you think. Trying to imagine your comments are 
serious for 
a moment, I think the situation is like BMW drivers loving their cars - a 
concept 
that the KIA, Isuzu, and Daewood drivers think is silly. "Why pay $80,000 for 
a car? 
I can buy a new Daewoo for $13,999." Isn't that your thinking Murray?

More generally .... Why don't we follow Splattercells (slightly crusty) 
advice and not engage in these
childish discussions. If people are interested in having a genuine discussion 
with an 
open mind, then fine, we can all learn. But if are just bitter because of 
Emagic's
new policy, and have plenty of misperceptions about Macs, please don't just 
insult and attack for sport.

I use PCs at work all the time, and still consider them to be 2nd rate in 
ease of use, or maybe 3rd rate - although I have to admit they seem to work a 
little snappier. I'm also unhappy about a number of things Apple does. I'm 
not happy with OS X, and the expense of buying new software for it, and 
having some of my old stuff not work anymore. If there were a better 
alternative to Macs, I would consider it.  A Billy Box (Windows) is not the 
answer for me - and falling victim to the worst industrial monopolist of our 
time is not a welcoming thought either.
