Bono, Steve Jobs, etc.

[John Carvill]

Oh well now, if the rest of the 'thinking world' disagrees with me, I
guess I better rethink my position eh? The 'thinking world' includes
you, does it?

I loved my Macbook when I bought it, and it is still a very nice
*object*. But the Mac OS, particularly the Finder is very much a case
of style over substance. I find the whole thing very frustrating to
use, and I work full-time as a software developer so I'm not exactly
computer illiterate.

As for the iPod, I've got 2 of them, mainly because I view them (or
did) as the best of a bad bunch. But since the advent of the
itouch/ipod 'classic' generation, they have changed the sound chip,
making the sound you get from them even more synthetic than before.

The cult of Mac is a bit overblown, to say the least. All those nerds
wetting themselves every time Steve Jobs unveils a new feature of the
latest product is  a sick-making sight.

As you say, each to their own.

Not much to say to this other than that I, and most of the rest of the=20

Yes, I do. Windows is ugly, and it certainly is not perfect. But,having=20
used a Macbook now for a few years, I have come to hate it moreand=20
more. The 'Finder', for instance, is an abomination.And the ipod (of=20
which I own two) is a joke as well. Crappy sound,wildly overpriced,=20
that terrible 'click wheel', the fact that it can'tbe usefully operated=20
while still in your pocket, etc etc.
