steven n fettig's Jitterin' Thoughts

I wholly admit it. The article is slanted. It is biased. It is even flat out wrong in areas. But, damn... John Manzione (@ MacNETv2) has hit a few point succinctly on the head. My favorite has to do with the Service Pack Ridicule that used to exist from Mac owners vented towards Windows users - e.g. the updates we have needed every two months look very much like mini or full-blown service packs for Windows. I still am stuck on Mac - even after my [mostly] agreement with the flame. Why? Because I refuse to get caught up with the Microsoft licensing scheme. On top of that, I am simply afraid of the DRM ideas that Microsoft seems to be supporting. I have written about DRM, I have written [lamentingly] about Microsoft licensing. I have yet to write any substantial complaints about Apple/Mac. The article I am referring to: Don't Read this Column hits on most of my complaints and I am not ashamed to admit I have them. If only FreeBSD could make my MiniDV, Firewire, Plug 'n Play, music downloading loving world easier...
