Nuff said. And to think, just a decade ago, Mike was making
condescending statements about Apple.

Just think you Moron, Mike has more money than Steve Jobs. Twice as much,
and he charges 1/3rd of what Jobs does.
Stupidity should be terminal.

So your point is that Mike doesn't care about his company or his
employees... got it.

His employees are still working.
As for his shareholders - speculation is rife with danger.
The question is, if you had his $12 Bil instead of your two nickels, what
would you be doing?
FYI; Your piece of shit newsreader doesn't quote. Do you have the brain to
fix it?

Actually, yes, I would. One of the problems with Capitalism is that the
concept of "Noblis Oblige" no longer seems to apply, and, historically it
never did. For a brief moment after the Great Depression, companies gave it
lip service, but after the 1960's that quickly went away. Michael Dell
started a business, hired people to do the work, and engendered some level of
loyalty in his employees. Then, when the business goes south, It's suddenly
"Too bad that you no longer have a job but I don't care. I have a bundle and
can live in indolent ease the rest of my life, it doesn't matter to me that
my business has failed." He feels no sense of real obligation to either the
organization that he founded or the people who made him rich. And folks
wonder why I'm a Marxist!

You mischaracterized the difference in price and the difference in
products vastly; clearly, you have either little knowledge or far too
much attitude.

Seems to me that you're not making much sense, here. You ask me a question
and then tell me that you don't give a f___k about my answer? This causes me
to ask you the question, if you don't care about the viewpoints of others,
why engage in a conversation with them?
BallCock
I was looking for a yes or no answer. Not a thesis on how Michael Dell
should conduct himself.

Your statement shows how little you really understand. With $12 Bil what is
someone to do, try for the record of richest dead guy?
Your simple mind doesn't grasp the fact that a business is only a vehicle
toward wealth. Ask any Apple shareholder.

Your problem is common. The misdirected mindset that the same product,
doing the same job, with a different label at a higher price, is somehow
better.

So people might lose jobs and you gloat. All you MacFreaks seem to do the
same. You are a moronic low-life. And a fan of Gumpisms. How droll - you

Except that Windows CAN'T and doesn't do "anything OSX can do" and it
certainly does nothing better. Hell it does nothing AS WELL as OSX! And OSX
is what makes a Mac NOT the same product as a Windows PC, that's where it's
mentioned! And while OSX CAN run on PCs it is "illegal" to do so. But when
one runs OSX on a PC, that PC becomes a Mac and a better product.
So, once again, you are wrong across the board as, also once again, you
confuse market share with quality.

Also there are lots of things that Windows does not and can not do as well as
OSX under the best of circumstances.

To reiterate; Windows can do anything OSX can do, better. You can huff, and
you can puff, but you can't change the truth. Even if you write in BIG
LETTERS, it doesn't change the fact, OSX is a piece of shit, and you are
George Graves.
BallCock
Childish at best. Is senility speaking?
Justin
Well of course!
Or btter net, dn't offer support at all. Just make it frustrating for
users to get through they'll give up, and spend $50 on a new hard drive
(that should have been covered under warranty) at some local store.
It benefits Dell, the local store and the user - somehow.

Zara, I am not this George Graves person. As far as I can see the only thing

others here say that he was as well (and I don't even know that for sure). As
for Mac vs Windows. Windows is primitive and crippled by both legacy support
and Microsoft's unwillingness to fix its myriad of problems. It's poor;ly
