Since this is a photography site, it's relevant to point out that those numbers way are off. Among creatives, the Mac/PC percentage is either even or possibly in favor of the Mac depending on which graphics/photo software company you talk to.For everyone like you, there's 9 saying the same thing about Window PCs.
Yes, from what I understand many accountants actually prefer PCs.For everyone like you, there's 9 saying the same thing about Window PCs.
What's being a photography site got to do with my statement. Did I say everyone on this site? At what length will an Apple fan go to make a case?Since this is a photography site, it's relevant to point out that those numbers way are off.

Ah, once again, we actually agree.

In the larger world, where computers are used for everything from POS terminals to airline reservations, yes, PCs outnumber Macs 9 to 1.
But here, that doesn't really apply. And your own forum count bears this out. The 9:1 ratio of the larger world does not match up at all with your forum observation that the PC forums here are " only slightly " ahead of the Mac forums...actually corroborating the 50/50 split I mentioned earlier within the domain of this site, profession, and community, which is photography.
You talk about the lengths a Mac user will go to make a point...why do you keep beating us over the head with this 9:1 market share stat against Macs? As I've said before here, that makes no more sense than saying that America is not important in world affairs because Americans represent less than 5% of the world's population. The actual influence on the world, as with Macs, is not connected to that number at all. Heck, the alleged 10% Mac share of computing is actually double America's share of world population
How little you know and how much you assume. I, personally, don't have a Mac that I currently use daily for person purposes, for obvious reasons that I've previously stated - more non-proprietary and economical choices . But I do assist 3 others with Macs to keep them going. But recently, one MacBook had to spend a lot of time in Apple Care after an OS upgrade that went sour. And the upgrade was done by Apple Care.
It's mostly an extended warranty, but you also get phone support for software questions, and access to a diagnostic tool (TechTool Deluxe).
Extended warranty is the main reason. You also get tech support which is not necessarily that good.

I DO, YES DO own Apple products, probably before you even did. I still have my Apple Lisa (1985???) as a memorial to the struggles I've had with Macs (from Lisa to Mac Plus to Mac SE, ... to Power Macs) over the years. But, I've had less struggles with my Windows PCs, from Windows 2000 to Win 7-64, that's why my Macs are idle or recycled.

But I really didn't know you were the Mac Forum police that I have to report that to.
P.S. Your "facts" are your imagination.

Who needs to grow up? People who go around and snoop other people posting history like a detective just to rag on them. Grow up, get a real life rather than getting a book on me because you don't like what I say.
