Thanks for all the input folks. I wanted to apologize for my rather
intense input on this subject. Did I mention subject? For some
reason, someone used this thread for another subject regarding schools
and their policies. PLEASE don't forget to change the subject line as
well.
Anyway, what I meant about the viruses is that I do in fact know that
this move to Intel is good for Apple. But, I'm afraid it might be too
good. I'm one of those unusual Mac users that LIKES being a part of a
small community. I LIKE the fact that Apple has a small market share.
I enjoy watching PeeCee users getting jealous over Apple's technology,
only to get it eventually when PC manufacturers try to copy it.
Everyone keeps saying this is good for Apple, etc. Yea, sure it's
good. . .and the bigger the market share, the more we are gonna attract
hackers. I know the power of Mac OS X (trying not to sound like Darth
Vader); it's almost impossible to create an effective system
debilitating virus TO DATE. But, the bigger the crowd, the more people
are going to notice. I hope everyone can see my point.
I need to formerly apologize to those who use PC's and are members of
this list. I work with all types of computers in my business. I
customize wireless networks, create systems for people; both PC and
Mac. I just had a very bad experience with someone who drove me crazy
with his PC. Let's just say he's the one who's stupid. . .and that
some people should not have a computer AT ALL. I strive to be patient,
but for some reason I vented in here. . .my sacred ground with folks
who not only know as much as I do about Linux, Be OS, Amiga OS, Mac OS,
Windows and Unix, but even more than ME. :)
Also, the useful info regarding the Alpha chip is actually exciting.
Is this true? Are the former employees from DEC really working for
Intel?! I'm throughly aware of the Alpha chip and it had a lot of
potential. I could only imagine what those folks, with Intel's budget,
could create for Apple. Everyone's going to want a Mac! (biting
nails) I just hope I'm wrong and the market share won't go any higher
than 30% in the next 10 years. Oh for those who own Apple stock and
are cringing at what I just typed. . .I have stock as well. :)
Keepin' it small. . .(like a secret club, folks!)
