Anyone remeber ol' extremist psycho Joe Ragosta?

Apparently he died in his mid 50s, and before that sue Oseco for age discrimination. He was truly one of the most Mac-advocates of the 90s, to the point where all sanity was forgotten and belittled. He went by MacMan and several other names on here.

Ah yes, good old Joe. Apple could do no wrong. Just like Alan Baker these days. If anything Alan is even more rabid.

LOL!

Here's the simple facts of my experience, Little Shit:

I used to be able to make a good living supporting Mac-using clients.
They loved the Mac and in many years of experience selling and then
supporting Macs, I had precisely one (1) person who tried the Mac and
wanted to switch back. ONE!

Today, while on paper I still have Mac-using clients, I spend all my
time supporting Windows clients. I go literal YEARS between support
visits for 95% of my Mac-using clientele (the exceptions are mostly a
few older people who need help with switching from Windows to Mac).

Sorry, but that's simply what's going on.

Miss ol Joe. He died at only 55. Was the CEO of Oseco before
something happened and he got canned. Had a lot of good times with him
as back then I was a Windows advocate.

Which has nothing to do with the subject matter of this thread. Just another Windows rant.

If you don't ever hear from your past Mac customers how do you know if they are still on Mac???
