Pointless arguments vol. 125
Look I have spent almost my entire adult life being exposed to/ configuring/ installing/ managing etc. Networks using windows ( nt and everything since) , macs, unix, Linux variants and netware servers and the kitchen sink and I can safely say the following : all of these have pros and cons and all of the companies responsible are actually surprisingly after your money but apple machines generally work and work easily, windows machines are flakier but cheaper and more customisable if you are that way inclined whilst unix/Linux stuff are great if you like getting down and dirty with a machine. All of this posturing about how shitty gates/ jobs and the rest are is never going to change anyones minds and is no better than rival football fans. Frankly if it works for you fine, enjoy. Now who hates Oracle?

I don't give a shit either way and it amazes me when people do get tribal about it
hence my post mocking Apple lovers.

Suggest that the PS3 is superior to the 360, though, and I will fight you to the end. We all have our identity markers and the strange blindspots they generate.

Xbox 360?
Piece of shit coming full circle? What used to be a 4 sided shape is now a round shape? The reason for naming a gaming console this eludes me.

Anyways, depending whichever situation you are in will depend on which machine will suit you better.

Not sure which situation you'd have to be in to only require one USB port though.

Incoherent as ever, I see.

Oracle are twats, we can agree on that.
I was a rabid fanboi for a while, I've mellowed since. I get that other people don't have the same requirements as me and there's a valid reason for others choosing hardware that I wouldn't touch with a shitty stick.

However, patent trolling and using legislation rather than innovation really grips my shit and Mr Jobs is the leader in the field at the moment.
