PC VS MAC On Photoshop

Tone is difficult to tell over the internet, Shadow The only reason you no longer like the thread is it's very sour for the Mac user. I was the first to lightly push a couple buttons, but I think it became pretty obvious who was hot under the collar, and it wasn't me.

I'm not super riled up or anything. I enjoy a good debate. You confuse anger with persistance, and well constructed arguments. All to often I find people automatically assume a disagreement must result in hurt feelings and a derogatory argument.

The idea I'm all ticked off has been brought up numerous times, on numerous threads. Just because my arguments are overpowering doesn't mean I'm upset. It does get me a little upset when people choose not to debate me, instead arguing, and never giving my research even the credit of taking it into account. I like to have some facts and data when i make my debate. I like to make sure I have my bases covered when I hear my opponents rebuttal (which is why I gave PKRWUD's posting of the Apple owned website it's fair review.) I read those pages, most of them completely unless I knew the information was not relevent. I then dismantled the information and used it to make my position stronger. It took me but minutes because the site's information was actually to my advantage. My main opponent didn't even bother to read the initial posted benchmark link. Apparently he didn't even take the time to look at several more links to information or benchmarks. He simply dismissed it. I took the time to look at his argument, and gave due respect to his position. He dismissed me, got upset, and took his chances that I would not be able to support my position. In fact I was able to support my position extremely well, I think. While at the same time pressing some buttons in the hopes he would research the information we both have access to to support his position better. It never happened.

Do I consider it time lost? Nope. I think the debate has given a large group of people the ability to learn about the advantages of a platform I consider superior.

PKRWUD mentioned earlier that I could sell ice to an Eskimo. He's right. If I believed in the product I was selling, which requires a good deal of information for me to evaluate.
