Very good. My experiences include dozens of operating systems over the last 42 years. I have modified the internals of eight operating systems. My communications experiences go back to the 60's and the internals of early communication software aiding IBM in early RJE systems. I was a thesis adviser in communications in the 60s at the Univ. of Penn. Later I ran a centralize technology area in the largest financial corp in the country. The area I ran was responsible for technology planning and architecture for 75 businesses in 45 countries. I have also lectured on technology architecture in a couple dozen countries. Architects working for me designed the Citibank ATM communications infrastructure in the US. Frankly, I think I was very polite in equating our experience levels. But you still take offense.vonQuux said:
As for false advertising, the Apple commercials have indicated among other things that Windows machines have monochrome monitors, can't edit movies or play music or manage photos, run fewer applications than Macs, don't come with pre-installed software, require a technician to install, don't work at all, and on and on. Nowhere do they mention that most applications won't run on a Mac. People are genuinely surprised when they call me and I tell them Macs won't run my software. This is a new phenomenon. It hardly ever occurred before the current set of Mac ads, and now it's common. Clearly the ads mislead people.
I really don't understand why you take such offense or why you are using such charged words as "feigning confusion," "selective," "polemics," "irrational," "embarrassing ," "a novice gambler." I simply made a suggestion that Apple support Windows apps for the good of its users and that everyone should have anti-virus software. These are my honest opinions.
