Apple is where they are today because of there advertising and the quality of the each product they put out. Apple's products are really expensive, but people still buy them because of their cool ADs. We will see, i guess in the end whom is the better company.

He's hosting an 826 Seattle benefit - part of Bumbershoot. He's quite the funny fellow, and I'm awfully excited. http://www.bumbershoot.org/826/ The PC guy (John Hodgman) is also going to be appearing in Seattle this Friday!

How about that Daily show...ran away with the Emmys. As to the MAC, I never did use it. Someone talked us into buying it and our logo was created on it. They said it was better for creating logos. But we couldn't modify the logo in any way after the agents were trying to implement it on their non MACs. One person with a MAC and everyone else without one was the problem. We have to have things that work for everyone. Shoot, link doesn’t work. How about that Daily show…ran away with the Emmys.

To be fair to the Mac folks out there, the Mac is a much better platform than it was during the pre Mac OSx dark ages of Michael Spindler & Gil Amelio in the 1990s. Since Steve Jobs has came back & Mac OSx was released, Apple is once again a great company. Still, I'm not switching. I had an Amiga before I turned to the dark side. :) Ardell, when did you use the Mac last?

I use all Microsoft products, Outlook, Publisher (which I SWEAR by for creating flyers) etc. Better question is why use a MAC. Why do those who have them LOVE them. I've been using computers since my first 8 whatever Tandy from Radioshack. Upgraded to a 16 when those came out, then a 32 and a 64 and a 128. It always doubled...until Pentium Processors I think. In fact I used computers before there were PCs and we had that whole refrigerated room we weren't allowed to go in without surgery masks on :-) I think back then there were Apple Computers and "IBM compatible"...does that sound right? Those that went Apple went MAC and those that went IBM compatible are now not MAC. Is that a correct pregression? Why go through the incredible learning curve and learn everything new in order to have a MAC, except that every time I see that commercial...I seem to wanna... Great Ad Campaign if it affects me, don't you think? We're going to see that guy somewhere else, cause his acting career is just beginning. If anyone sees him anywhere else, let me know.

Not switching to MAC though, until the MLS is just as easy to get. And I'm pretty sure that I could not possibly live without my Outlook. We had a MAC around the office intitially, and I kept saying, get RID of that, as all of the work done on it couldn't be processed except on it. I hated the thing, but the young person who was using it LOVED it. She couldn't look up a property, she couldn't handle a Publisher file I emailed through, not sure what she was doing on it, not work for sure, but she sure loved it. I LOVE that picture.

I did not know that. When I relocated up here back the stone ages, I was out of college, and MS just gave me a month's free rent while I looked for a place to live. Great post Ardell.
