Reminds me of getting into OS arguments with a friend who is a Mac fanatic.
"The real problem with the Macintosh is that it gives people the illusion that they are computer literate."
BTW, my issue with the Mac is that I believe Apple didn't provide the same broad support to developers as Microsoft. (They got greedy - not that MS isn't, too.) As a result I'd classed the PC vs Mac as "Hard to use/easy to develop for vs. easy to use/difficult to develop for."
On the other hand, at a previous job, I once got under the skin of a new sys-admin. He needed to do some emergency maintenance of our Netware server, so he sent a message that everyone had to log out of the network. That was okay, but at the end of the message he said he'd send an email to let everyone know when it was okay to log in again. Naturally, I asked how would this would work, since you had to be on the network to get the email that let you know you could be on the network again.
