Response to: The Masses

The elegance and depth of the platform does detract from the platform's ease of use. If it were not for cost and Windows only applications, the Macintosh would be the platform best platform for the masses.


It's sad to see such elistest crap on ora.con.

    I've pretty much stayed out of this fray because my point here has been missed all together. No problem. But I stand by my view that in the overall computing world, most people don't understand the power and elegance of the Mac platform, and most never will.

    BTW: definition of "masses" -- "Ordinary people in society, as distinct from political leaders, aristocracy, or educated people" (In this case educated about computer operating systems.)

    As for your kind comment:
    "It's sad to see such elistest crap on ora.con."

    My response is:
    It's "elitist," not "elistest"
    It's macdevcenter, not ora
    It's .com, not .con
