WTF difference does that make?
I'd be ashamed to admit that my ego is tied to the stock price of the
company that built my computer.

But you are ashamed to admit that your ego is tied to Windoze.

I'd be ashamed to own a DELL regardless of the stock price.

Not nearly as ashamed as a Dell would be to be owned by you.

Huh? Why? Is there something that links stock price to the quality of
the hardware?

No, my job is tied to Windoze, and it takes care of what I need done.
It's YOUR fragile ego that is tied to Apple, Mac, and all the garbage
that goes with taking whatever they throw your way.

Translation: Tommy relies on Windows being sucky in order to bring
home a paycheck. As such, his advocacy of the platform is self-
serving.

Translaion: Gimmie also profits from Windows being sucky, but doesn't
let it blacken his soul. An example is when it is his own dollar
that's being spent, he doesn't buy Windows, even though he knows that
he is proficient in fixing its woes.

Tommy. MY JOB is tied to the Mac and it takes care of what I need done. It's
YOUR fragile ego that is so insecure that you have to troll in a Mac
newsgroup to reassure yourself that YOU chose the right platform. I, on the
other hand, am damned sure that I chose correctly. Too bad about you.

I work out of my home. My home and business computers are one in the
same. All my clients but one are on Windows and the Windows version
of Office. If they were all on Mac I would probably have a Mac. I
see no advanatge at all of learning and using 2 different systems.
Either one will do the job. Simple is good.

How do you handle that on your taxes?

YMMV, but broadening your knowledge base would be an opportunity to
broaden your potential customer base, as well as be a form of
diversification.

The fallacy in the KISS principle is revealed when one realizes how
many different flavors of Windows OS and Office are currently being
supported under the guise that it is "just Windows".

Depends on your business - if your business requires you to know computers
well, as mine does, it makes sense to know both Mac and Windows (and maybe
Linux as well).

Then you'd really be interested in dumping AAPL which fell 7.63% yesterday.

but to be fair, apple lost 9% last week... but the difference is apple
still has real value going forward, whereas DeLL is heading for the
chinese chopping block.
DeLL didn't change quickly enough with the market, plus they own "ZERO"
control of their product, they made sense with mail order the 90's when
MS ruled, but now that Apple rules, DeLL is a goner.
It's the next packard bell, or worse.

Oh, BS oxford.
I like Apple as well as anyone here and it is all I use, but Apple isn't
ruling by a long shot.
Dell's business model was what made them, but they are in deep trouble
these days. Selling no- or low-profit boxes just isn't the way to stay
in business. Dell and others used to keep the profits, while the dealer
channel kept seeing theirs lowered until it isn't worth selling anymore,
except for big box houses. Dell is suffering from their own plans.

The biggest long-term danger for dell, IMO, is going to be if they hold
onto their build-to-order model for too long. It's not a liability
today, but as hardware gets more capable and cheaper, the build-to-order
model increasingly loses value relative to a model in which someone
designs a standardized computer that meets the needs of a majority of
the market, and starts turning units out by the millions in a Chinese
factory.

They are the Wal-Mart of the computer world - cheap prices, amazing
efficiency, great pressure on their partners to lower price at any cost,
adding and dropping prices and products at a moments notice.
