]]> Comment on Palm Pre: iPhone Killer or Dud in the Making? by ShredderFeeder http://randomgemini.com/2009/05/palm-pre-iphone-killer-or-dud-in-the-making/comment-page-1/#comment-5912 ShredderFeeder Tue, 23 Jun 2009 15:17:49 +0000 http://randomgemini.com/?p=1211#comment-5912 I don't think the Pre is anything to worry about, Palm lost the battle to RIM some time ago, they're barely trying to stay relevant. Palm is the smart-phone of choice among teenie-boppers and such for some reason, but even that's giving way to Blackberry at this point. As for Sprint, I have to disagree with you on coverage. I've used sprint for almost 10 years now, and while it started out being because they were the only one to offer a rate plan that fit my needs (at a reasonable price) I've found in ten years of intensive travel that their network doesn't in fact suck as badly as Verizon would have you believe. My only complaint about Sprint is the crappy limited selection of phones.

Welcome to the party! My hubby used to be a mac fan back in the days before they were macs, but he moved on to ataris and then to pcs after a while. It's been good for us overall because his career is built on popular computer tech. This is my first mac, and not my last. I just talked the husband into a 24" iMac a couple weeks ago... and I love it! Hope I see you on NAM :-) Hey! Welcome to the party!

Started waaay before macs, with a IIc. I've yet to convince anyone, including family (except for my sons, and they were raised with Apples)to get a mac. I guess ignorance is bliss. I found your link from your NAM postings. Yep, I'm a MINI person, also. Great minds think alike! I’ve never owned anything but Apples. Started waaay before macs, with a IIc.

Another point that is often overlooked is when you buy a mac you buy hardware AND software, in one package. Windows has a bazillion configurations and hardware for sale "guaranteed" to work with a hopefully semi-functioning OS. And only then if it hasn't been compromised, or the anti-?? software is up to date, and the patches done, and the drivers updated, and the... ah screw it. Go buy a mac and start living your life again. Spot on, as always. Another point that is often overlooked is when you buy a mac you buy hardware AND software, in one package.

This piece came out of a really large chunk of catharsis coupled with a lack of caffeine this morning. Starbucks just really is not sufficient to jump start my day. :-) Thanks LG!
