So there’s this lawyer who’s dumber than a redundant metaphor.  He buys a G5, sticks his head up his ass, then writes about it. So a Mac guy takes him to task only to prove that this lawyer is wrong about everything and should get his meds checked.

Make my day

A fellow named “Larry Bodine”, who is apparently on the advisory board of “Law Technology News” (e.g., he’s a technology advisor) and is also a law firm marketing consultant, has written a piece where describes, using no small amount of factual errors, fallacies, and other bad writing techniques…

The supportable points of your argument, in total, boil down to this:

- Apple’s marketing department and fans lured me in with promises of Macs being virus-free and having great service, both of which turned out to be true.
- FireWire is sexy.
- Sometimes I see the spinny cursor on my Mac.
- Microsoft Word doesn’t please me on the Mac because the key shortcuts aren’t short enough, and because I can’t find the compatibility button on the save panel. Also, PowerPoint.
- Microsoft Outlook doesn’t please me on the Mac, and I never tried the free alternatives that were bundled with the system.
- AOL(!) doesn’t please me on the Mac.
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 from 1997 does not please me on the Mac, and I mistakenly believe Safari doesn’t support Flash, nor will I use any of the many free alternatives that would work fine.
- One time, my hard drive broke and was replaced for free.

In summary: you are fundamentally only interested in using Microsoft products, and you find that your experience on a Mac using nothing written by Apple and everything by Microsoft is sub-par. Wow! I am SHOCKED! This is as amazing as when I heard that people who love open-source software sometimes prefer Linux to Mac OS X!

    I let the repaired shiny Mac sit on the floor for weeks, and instead used my reliable IBM ThinkPad, and rediscovered how much I enjoy it. Wish me luck on selling the Mac.

Good luck! And good riddance! I’d buy it myself but I’m afraid you might have smeared some stupid on it!
