Apple takes double-digit PC market share in Canada

Hi nibber, been awhile
See Mac nobs taking them and signing up for them at the Apple Store.
So obviously they find Mac harder to master than you let on....
BTW I had no problem picking up OSX.....it reminded me of an old Linux Fedora distro, only Fedora had better 3-D effects....
For MORE, how about the undisputed FACT Linux is rated even more stable than M$ AND Mac! Some Linux users have reported running their machines for several months 24/7 with no need to reboot.
Another MORE is the fact there are several thousand FREE apps available in the various Linux Repositories! Can Mac match that???
Didn't distort anything. Just pointed out Apple has classes that cost $99.danibbler said:

And I was pointing out while this is true, Apple still sells racks of Apple apps that cost MORE than M$ apps.danibbler said:

First off, when you first started off talking about classes you conveniently left off the fact that group classes are free.
Second, I never said anything about OS X being easy or hard to master. NEVER.
Third, I never saw anyone taking those courses at the Apple Store.
Really..which apps?
Fact? Let's see a link. I've also run my Macs for months without needing to reboot and I am on my machine a LOT. Got to make money somehow.
As for free apps, once again, whatever Linux has, Mac has. Whatever you're running on your Linux system, there is an equivalent FREE version for my Mac system.
Come to the Buffalo Apple Store, I see then there 'one on one' all the time.
The one's in the Mac store racks!!!!
What kind of Mac salesman are you?
When the Business world isn't using M$, they turn to Linux for rock solid reliability.
Mac gets no mention......
Wow...I strongly doubt that because if there were people taking such courses, it'd be behind in the back where you can't see it at all.
Let's get serious..you're just like a snake oil salesman. What Apple software are you talking about that's more expensive than M$ software?
That's for servers! LOL!
You're fantastic at distorting and twisting things around aren't you.
Notice that you didn't respond to the comment:

NOT AT ALL!!!
There were a couple times the Mac 'tutor' made me give up a chair I was using running an iMac because he told me he had an appointment to give a 'one on one class' with the iMac I was using, right there in the Apple Store on the main floor, in public. That's where they run those paid classes in Buffalo!
I'm NOT kidding you here nibbler!....
When perusing through several of the Mac Racks loaded with Mac apps FOR SALE I saw: Norton AV for Mac, M$ Office for Mac, some photo and graphic apps, some games, to mention a few and they ALL COST MORE than equivalent Windows apps.
This may be true but I'm just reporting what is at the Apple Store here, where they have FOR SALE plenty of MAC apps and ALL cost more than M$ equivalent apps.
Linux has several repositories with several thousand apps currently available for use and download all free.
Does Mac have the same number of free Mac apps????????
LOL! Given how much of a fanboy you are for Linux and how often you trash Mac, I don't think it's a case of you "kidding".
Ahh..so you were not talking about software from either Apple Inc. nor Microsoft Corp. Ok, I give on that point because if you're talking about third-party software developed for the respective platforms, the Mac version MIGHT be more expensive.
As for free apps, once again, you can run Linux apps on a Mac which, in fact, makes your point about thousands of free Linux apps irrelevant. LOL!
I'm serious here. That's what they do in Buffalo. The paid one on one classes are held on the main floor in public.
That was my point, uh and it is more expensive than M$ apps.
So you admit Mac is deficient here and doesn't have several thousands of free apps like Linux does then!....
Hmm - Mac application repositories? Let's try...
http://www.macports.org/ - 6186 apps and counting!
http://www.opensource.apple.com/
http://developer.apple.com/Darwin/
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/ - 20677 apps!
...and that doesn't count all the Linux apps that already compile and run on OS X - but that's over your head...

Well then why didn't nibbler post that????
Linux people have always said Mac is 'just a Linux Distro that you have to pay for' and that makes this statement look more true than ever.....
Of course, why would ANYONE pay for a free Linux Distro is a whole other ball of wax.....
Actually, lots of people pay for Linux - and by choice. RedHat is making a good profit at it...Well then why didn't nibbler post that????

No, the Mac has access to the same free apps as Linux. It's not at all deficient.
Once again, your "points" are like Potemkin villages.
