Chris:

What was the 'flat-out lie' Kell told?

I don't have a dog in this hunt as I use my computer like some people use a commuter car. I surf the net and do some word processing, maybe play a few (borrowed) games once in awhile - and thats about it.

I have little interest in Mac's and don't intend to buy one as my 2-year-old 750 Mhz processor Compaq is fine for my needs and gives me almost no problems at all. You guys lose me with some of the arcana but as a bystander who has no strong opinions or knowledge on the subject of PC's vs Macs, the discussion is interesting and I'm sure others appreciate it, even if the tech parts take some time to sort out.

I find that both you and Kell make fairly cogent arguments but when you start accusing each other of ignorance and stubborn allegience to a favorite computer platform, nothing is really learned.

This is akin to a Ford vs Chevy argument so nothing is ever truly resolved (you're not about to sell your Mac and Kell isn't dumping his PC any time soon) but we can all gain from facts presented. I hate to see you simply dismiss Kell even though you're frustrated. As you should know by now, Kell is not easily dimissed.

I would rather see you counter his arguments, if you can. I would also like to see more facts presented, as Sky did. That's convincing and can be checked and evaluated whereas opinions and negative characterizations of each others intelligence and integrity cannot .

Anyway, good debate, so far.
