Re: Lack of support for Mac users

Undecided I really did try, honest, but, well I couldn't help it!

It is true that mac support does get left out though, I remember being on a BT broadband bus, letting everyone know that everyone could get BT Broadband, until a lady piped up saying I have a Mac, the school uses Mac - the BT guy was lost for words, and didn't know that a Mac had both a USB and LAN socket and could work with a voyager modem  Roll_eyes  Angry
I did step up to explain, but it does concern me that people tend to ignore the minority of users, support should be for all, and be readily available for all, any PC user who has used a Mac will know how simple they are to use, setup, and sort, not that there is a lot of sorting to do on them, me personally, I just find them a little restrictive, and very expensive, if you remove the white plastic, and do a like for like with Intel based hardware - I still can't see why they have to charge so much?  Roll_eyes

I do actually and I don't understand what a south park reference is. This means I am more stupid than first thought.

Charming - you aren't supposed to agree with the supposition that he is more stupid than he thought when I haven't a clue about the South Park reference either  Angry

@Jim I also haven't a clue about the South Park reference but a chance to have a pop at one's old boss is never an opportunity to be missed Cool

I like the old Apple Macintosh's, my first main computer was a Apple Macintosh, thay are simple to use that is the ones that are running OS 5 to OS 8, I have got a number of old Apple Macintosh's, I have my eye on a G5, I have a blue G3 and 4 beige G3's
