This guy has gotten so much traffic it is amazing. I am finally posting this after seeing references to this article three times in different RSS feeds. Just a few of the cited problems with the Mac Mini:
- “hardware is about roughly equivalent to a Windows PC circa 1995”
- “no serial ports, no way to connect a printer, no PS/2 ports…no Windows XP”
- ” the perfect computer for grandmothers or autistic children”
- “stripped-down operating system which Apple calls OS X, similar to the stripped-down WindowsCE OS”
- “NO Outlook Express, Disk Defragmenter, Scandisk, Norton AV, Windows Update” — ” I would expect a Mini to get really slow and unstable within a couple months”
Jorge’s assessment of Linux vs. Windows (note the attractive wife beater shirt ‘Jorge’ is wearing). Apparently, anyone who reads PC Magazine knows:
that major portions of the Linux kernel, the Linux filesystem, Linux networking utilities, and portions of the human genome are all illegally copied from Unix System V.
Too bad Jorge is someone’s Onion. I’m so disappointed. I wish Jorge was a real dude.
🙂 So be it. I suppose part of me wants to continue to cultivate the Jorge myth.
You know that unless someone actually reads your last sentence, they’ll think you’re being serious!
