Okay, I'm just going to do this, it needs to be done:
===========================================
I'm sorry for making the immature comment about Macs "sucking" and about Yahoo Pool being lame. I don't know why I posted these comments; I know they hurt people, and I apologize for this. I am not qualified to mention anything about Macs because I have not used one for very long; I have no idea what I might be missing. And I've never played Yahoo Pool in my life. So both could be sweet; I was just being immature.
===========================================
With that out of the way:
Re: the Mac thing: I am more convinced (after some much needed research) that Macs are really capable machines, and I may buy one when I get more money. I will try to find a friend who has a Mac and try it out.
Re: why I hate USB to serial adapters: Windows. It's pretty ironic, I know. If I don't have the right drivers, Windows will crash, horrendously. And I will bet (I don't know this) that a Mac will just chuck the bad driver out and keep running as Windows should. A real serial port, at least when it comes to Windows, is much easier to manage than a USB to serial adapter.

Everyone has a right to their own opinion, buying an Apple today is more like just buying a Dell or an HP. Where when they were using PowerPC it was more of a commitment to a lifestyle.

I'm beginning to see that and I'm considering getting a Mac. Just goes to show you how wrong the crowd can be.
I'm sorry if this post seems overly dramatic. I know it doesn't need to be. It ruffles my feathers when I ruffle other people's feathers, especially if I didn't mean to.
Sorry.

PS. I might try Opera. I've had other people tell me it's faster, but, like Macs, I haven't tried it for more than a few days, and that wasn't fair--I was running it on my old laptop. I'll give it another chance.
