While I think that inane worship of a product or company is a type of dogmatism the world would be better without, reactionary denial of the strengths of a product (and note, I'm not saying strengths are invulnerabilities!) because of others' dogmatism is not the solution.

i think most computer users are in average stupid-- mac takes that into account and builds in safeties to accommodate that, while pc thinks "you should know better" and have been playing catchup in making their systems stupid-proof (they haven't yet succeeded). besides, there's the issue of worldwide numbers.

i have both brands--and im not denying each one's strengths-- i dont put warez in either, though.

but who here owns a legal copy of photoshop?
