Where the heck is Jon?

[lewpopp]

let's see.....3:42, horns, hmmmm. By god, I was taking a short snooze. Sorry, but your horn need a tune up.

I guess I will have the only older coach at the POG rally.. I'm not jealous or sad. I have a sweetheart. Not only that, am I having a ball with the chrome polish. I hope that makes someone happy besides me. Wax on, wax off.

Now my mental image of the you has warts. Not computer savy? Oh the humanity of it all. I actually thought you were doing a good job faking us all out, but to not program your own GPS chips; for shame.

You could at least take the weenie way out and get a Mac

Crap, I should get a Mac. All my friends who have them are constantly calling me for computer help, so I have to be Mac literate as well as PC.

Aren't most Mac guys Friends of the Earth?

Jon...I can only speak from my NEW perspective...WE ARE THREE DAYS INTO PREVOST DOUBLE SLIDE HEAVEN!!!!!

Don't start with the Mac thing unless you want it to come back to you with such fury that it will make your brain spin.

I use both Mac and Windows and prefer the Mac. I'm also not a beginner by any means... I started with computers before I was in high school (from punch cards to today) and have done everything from light programming to writing books about computers. But I also work with everyone from complete beginners to the most advanced folks, so I'm not thinking from an isolated position.

Comparing Mac to Windows can be like comparing a Prevost to SOB... it all depends on your perspective as to which is which.

So, if you think I've taken the weenie way out, then I'd much rather be a mac weenie than a PC user any day.

It sounds to me like your Mac friends are not computer users, which is why they need help... god help them if they were on a PC (configuration, trouble shooting and stability are some of the biggest problems with the PC). You have to be very educated about the guts of your computer to be an effective PC user, which is not a requirement for Mac users... that allows you to concentrate on what you want to do with the 'pute instead of how to keep it running.

I knew my Mac comment would get the blood flowing -especially with Ben. It's like opening a discussion on RV.net about Gas vs. Diesel Pushers.

Our Macs are Mango flavored.

Ben,

My only comment is about 90% of businesses use PC's and mostly graphics and other associated groups use Mac. Don't get me wrong, Mac's are very nice machines, but try to get hardware or software help for one. It would appear that mostly no one has them and there is a reason for that.

[Jerry Winchester]

Oh, and I was just jerking your chain. I am a big Mac fan, but the Mac minions all drink the kool aid and are way easy to rile. Too much to let MangoMike get away with............

[MangoMike]

How about that V tail vs straight tail discussion next.

[Jerry Winchester]

You're on some kind of trouble maker mission aren't you Don't you have some stainless to polish or an engine to clean somewhere? I'm sure Jon can hook you up with some chores......

[Jon Wehrenberg]

I believe a Mac is something you eat right? As in big Mac?

I am not getting into any discussion about v tails or gas or diesel or any of that stuff because I have to go out to polish my slack adjusters.
