Why not just concentrate on making better products?

Got some Apple products, but dislike dictatorial attitude. Just got Samsung Galaxy G2 better finish, nicer company.

Apple full of maggots.

Some years ago, Bill Gates (maybe under Microsoft) bought a shed load of Apple shares when at a low before the iPod. Smart move backing all horses in race or was he aware (insider knowledge - never!) of what Apple were about to bring out. Could be backing the competition you know than allow another unknown into the race that you have no knowledge of, is better business practice? Besides, kept it in the States.

BTW No points for the right guess.

This is a classic example of how misleading the internet can be. Bill Gates never bought any Apple shares, but Microsoft did back in 1997 and they have long since been sold.

Google "bill gates buys Apple shares" if you want to find out the real story

Thanks for update. I was writing from memory, which fundamentally correct. We were an Apple Reseller in Oxford which is where I formed my experience and opinions.

And I was working in Microsoft and Apple support, which is why I remember the episode well, and bothered to check.

Mind you, I also remember some scuttlebutt at the time that the purchase was to avoid Apple suing Microsoft over something to do with their interface. That also remains yet to be proven...

I think that they both have their pros and cons. At my house we have a big imac and a dell xps. I dont use computers for anything other than the internet and gargeband but thats it. One thing that I dislike about macs is there is no right click which is frustrating at times and sometimes putting music on my Ipod can be a major pain in the ass. But you gotta admit the Imac is a beautiful desktop

There is indeed a right click. You need to make sure it has been enabled through preferences.

Mac right click: click wit 2 fingers, or control click.

Cheers,

On a two button mouse I right click just as one would with a Windows Box. With the bluetooth mouse I click on the right side.

In all cases this is one click only, no need to hold down any other key and no need to use two fingers.

I must be doing something wrong
