Apple Fanboys

    What's with them ?? They're a horrid species. They rant and rave about Apple being more elegant and sleek design and easy to use. Bollocks.

    Apple is harder to use.
    No ease of movement like Windows.
    No drag drop interface.
    No open source.


    I raised these bare minimum points with 6 or 7 different Apple fan boy / fan girls in work and they were trying to sound all techy and knowledgeable about computers, but all failed to grasp the simple concept of drag drop and open source.

    What is it with these "People"?

    they buy into the hipster marketing hype. I hate them but have have to get Apple credit for the marketing they've done to get to where they are.

    Can I just preface this by saying I'm by no stretch of an Apple Fanboy.

    Nor is it any more difficult, it's just different. Some things are easier to work with, I like the network connections manager for instance, some things are more difficult to work with (I hate the way mounting stuff works).

    Not sure on this one, are you referring to the way Finder works? Some of the layout options can be a bit horrible but otherwise it's fine.

    Have you used OSX?

    Of course there is, plenty of open source programs run on Apple just like Windows or are you referring to the OS which is as closed source as Microsofts? It might actually be more open given it's Unix roots.

    Either stop trolling or stop posting about every little thing that comes into your head.

    AH is not your playground to abuse.
