After you've been hit on the head many many times because you want to
support diversity and don't want to walk in the same direction than
everybody else, you kinda develop defensive systems that kick into action
pretty quickly. Sorry about that, but I've been bitched more than I care to
remember because I did support something that is not mainstream and I'm sic=
k
of it, so now everytime the discussion turns on platform choice, I just ste=
p
in and hit as hard as I can, since that=B9s what Mac users have been enduring
for years...
Sorry about that... But I still stand by what I've said and will say it
again whenever the occasion present itself.
