Macs suck

Says the man using Outlook Express as a Usenet client...

OE dosent run on a Mac.


Oh, but it does - there have been versions of it under both MacOS and OS
X. Thankfully, Entourage has replaced it these days, though some would
say that's not necessarily an improvement.

Anyway, your headers indicate that you're using Microsoft Outlook
Express 6.00.2900.3598; if I'm not mistaken, that's the version of
Outlook Express that shipped with Windows XP Service Pack 2. So we can
infer that you're a Service Pack and a crapload of patches and hotfixes
behind current - or maybe you just really like that specific release of
Outlook Express, and went to great lengths to make sure that it survived
subsequent updates.

Either way, either one of those things pretty much nullifies your
opinion regarding matters of a technical nature.



Nothing nullifies his opinion, either way. It's an OPINION. It
just doesn't happen to agree with your own.

If what he's using works for him, his opinion is as valid as your
own.

If he doesn't like Macs, his opinion is as valid as your own.
There are significant numbers of individuals here who agree with
him. Some, with more technical expertise than yours.



There was a member of this newsgroup, now passed on, who
preferred Win 98. It worked for him, got him where he needed to go.
That the rest of the world disowned Win 98 a decade ago was of no
consequence. As for his technical expertise...He could hold his own
in UNIX, OpenBSD, Windows (through 7), Mac and Linux. And was a
developer for a number of them.

He just happened to prefer Win 98. I have no idea why. Nor is it
relevant.
