Why did you get involved in this pathetic "debate", Q³? You're better than that...

[Asher]

QCubed's contributions are legit and intelligent.

Agathon's responses have entirely skirted around issues QCubed brings back and involve ad hominems rather than a debate.

The reason for this, of course, is Agathon has no ****ing clue what he's talking about.

I know. That's why I'm suprised that he's wasting his time trying to bring reason to you and Agathon's crap vendetta. I stopped a long time ago...

well, jesus, he bought an imac. he gets what he deserves.

I know that was posted in response to Asher's links to the bad business Web site, but what's that supposed to mean? I'm on an iMac now, one that hasn't caused me a single problem in the 4 1/2 years I've had it. Not one! You can't judge an entire line of computers based on the sample provided by Asher. Good grief. If people did that, every single damn computer maker would've been out of business a month after they shipped their first unit.

No he's not. You should see some of the other crap he posts. What kind of clown insists you should buy anti virus software for a platform that has had no confirmed viruses in nearly four years of operation?

The fact is that the discovery of an OS X virus would be so novel that I would hear about it long before I ever got infected. Read my lips - no viruses and little prospect of viruses - ergo no need for anti virus software.

And you might notice that there was no real "debate" here until he tried to start one (since I don't read or respond to Asher's posts apart from the occasional ) despite his protestations of high minded neutrality. Indeed this was originally a Macworld thread and should have stayed that way.

since I don't read Asher's posts

A wise decision.

I don't want to get banned on his account and there's no point rehashing over old material.

Did you end up buying an ipod?

BTW I really like this program (for legal uses of course - which in Canada is almost anything)

http://acqlite.sourceforge.net/

Gnutella...

Is the Mac world about 3 years behind the PC in filesharing technology, or does it only seem that way?

[Agathon]

You know, you have to be some kind of pathetic cretin to respond to someone who has you on ignore.

[Asher]

1) I know you do read them, you can't help it
2) That wasn't in response to you
3) Anything that highlights your stupidity is well worth the time. The fact that you're too busy being a baby to address any debate seriously or with some kind of sensical argument is too much for me to pass up mocking.

Not yet, but I'm planning on picking one up soon.

I don't think anything can touch Poisoned right now...

Only if you like that network that starts with K.

It supports Gnutella, too. I use both pretty regularly.

Yeah I know. I don't like the interface though and it's not a very good Gnutella client.

Although I should really try the new version of Poisoned.
