[itdiscuss] mac or PC?

[blloyd at buskercom.com]

Selective memory....

 

Just remember it all boils down to 1s and 0s.  A computer, is a
computer, is a computer....  Some of us have been around long enough to
know what is popular today will go out of style tomorrow.  Anyone
remember DEC?

at SunTrust...yep, those were the days...;)

	10 years ago macs were only nightmares to those who were afraid
of them.  =) 

	 

	Before the "dawn" of Win95 EVERYTHING was easier on a mac,
especially networking.  Easier translatated to less work and better
overall productivity for both the IT staff and users.  It just worked.
There were no 8.3 file name limits, you didn't have to come up with
criptic names for network or printer shares, and you didn't have to
assign letters to network drives.  

	 

	With PCs you had to do all kinds of weird stuff just to make
them work together.  Do any of you remember NDIS drivers and getting
them to work?  Do you remember how to load the "middleware" that
actually let you connect to a network server?  Remember BANYAN VINES,
LANMAN, PATHWORKS, and NETWARE?  Those were the days that an IT guy
earned his/her stripes.  Take me back....please....take me back....

	 

	(By the way, I appologize ahead of time for any misspelled
words.  I still can't get the Office 2007 spell checker to work.)
