&gt;Apple zealots ~hate~ Microsoft anyhow, though. Quite remarkable.

Cults can&#039;t exist without hating something. It&#039;s cheap (and low) way to make people feel superior and keep paying for that illusion.</description>

		<description>&quot;One more year&quot;

Been hearing that from Linux fanatics ~every~ year for past ten years.

THIS will be the year Linux takes over the consumer desktop !

Of course it never happens ...but NEXT year it will.

Also get a kick out of Mac cultists. I&#039;m old enough to remember when
Apple computers had a less than 3% marketshare (just a few years ago).
The iPod revived Apple&#039;s computer biz, and iPhone doubled the Mac&#039;s
marketshare. But the really funny part is the hate directed at
Microsoft...

Had Microsoft stop making MS Office for Mac back when the Mac&#039;s
marketshare was only 2.7% and only going down, Apple would&#039;ve
shortly been out of the computer biz !

In other words: Microsoft saved the Mac.

Well... Last camera I owned was pre-digital era Kodak so I am not qualified to say about that field. :)

Reminds me I should really go and buy digital camera some day, I don&#039;t even have one in my mobile phone (shocking).</description>
