Please try again, only this time really, really, really try and think. Yes, I know that thginking makes your brain hurt but try.

Go on, I will even say please, pretty please, try and think.
At one point I was simply acknowledging what trep has said, so what has that go to do with inflating your ego?

Well that's the thing: they wouldn't be able to. So it is a BIIIIIG decision to make, really. It's either they get into the OS market at full speed, or stick to their current business model.

well from my perspective this has more to do wit your misconcieved over inflated ego, but then your head is so far up the mac ass that you would never understand!

We can live in hope I guess!

Mind you having seen the pics of you floating around the forum then limp wrist does seem appropriate to you.

again I do find you you slightly amusing and I really have had such a laugh watching DD REAM your tender little oirish ass every time you venture over there! My advice, for what its worth, stay this side of the street the other mods will protect you, over there you are shark bait.

Re: Better to have Mac or PC in Bkk

It's a simple situation, really.

If you want to sell lots of Macs you need to let PC companies like Dell and Acer to build them, and the OS should work on all various configuations of motherboards, processors and video cards.

If you insist on one company doing both the hardware and the OS and keeping it incompatible with the rest of the world, your share of the market will never increase beyond 5%, maybe 10%, even 15%. It will always remain a niche product.

I suspect Billy Gates doesn't worry too much about pirated Windows - that's how he got his 95% share, so what if only 80% of them pay? It's still far more than Stevie will ever dream of.

That was a clever move - hook them on for free, eventually they will pay when they buy notebooks, or their bosses will buy them genuine office machines. Windows will be everywhere and it will rule the world.

Ah yes dom! that was the first indication as I remember, that your honesty and integrity were not as you tried to portray them. Tell us Z who will be the next person you will out because of a hissy fit?

After all its not like outing people because of hissy fits is something that the mods on this forum are strangers to. Whats the tally now? Whilst I cannot deny that D is scum, you are the dried up scum trails he leaves behind.
