Denys,
I wouldn't call it a misapprehension as much as an observed opinion, much
as your observed opinion below, which I respect. Over the many years I have
directly supported and managed Engineers (certified in A+, MCSE, and
AppleCare) in the support of PCs, WindowsNT servers, and MacOS workstations.
I've always observed the Macintoshes to be far more stable and easier to
manage, although they were usually outnumbered by the Windows based
workstations. Again, that is just based on my experiences and may not be
universal.
Thanx,
Jon

I would point out you have been navigating under a misapprehension. Whilst
the HP e3000 is a better, more stable environment that you pay a lot more
for, Apple and the MacOS do not fit that description. Indeed, Windows NT,
2000 and XP systems are a lot more stable and faster operating systems than
Mac OS. If one brings up OS X, it is my understanding it is a "work in
progress" and lacks many features. In time, I am quite sure it will gain
all the needed features and may even have the stability of NT (2000/XP,) but
that day isn't here yet and 2000 has been shipping since 1999.
The HP e3000 stands in a class all its own; extremely reliable, fast but not
blazingly so and not overloaded with the latest features and devices.
Kind regards,
Denys. . .

Patrick,
Interesting. I have often thought of the HP e3000 & MPE as the
Apple &
MacOS of the mid-range computers. It's a better, more stable, environment
that you pay a little more for, but non-technical people seem to want "what
appears to be" the cheapest solution, even when it ends up costing them more
in instability, reboots, add-ons, etc.
Go figure,
Jon

CASE SETTLED: JUSTICE TO BREAK UP APPLE
FOR TURNING MICROSOFT INTO MONOPOLY
Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft and the U.S. Justice Department last week
announced a settlement in their landmark anti-trust case that calls for the
break up of Apple Computer, as both sides agreed Apple's history of
"self-inflicted, anti-competitive" management practices is primarily to
blame for turning Microsoft into an illegal monopoly.

Thank goodness this is just humor!
