Wil Bites Back - Don't write stupid Articles about Macs

So a guy called Larry Bodine wrote an article explaining to the world why his Mac experience wasn't the best, and how he is ditching it for something more PC based. Not much of a big deal really, given people swap all the time (more recently going the other way seems to be way more popular if you ask me, but then what would I know). What makes this one a little more interesting is that the guy sits on some random Technology Board, and advises people on future technology etc.

So, Wil Shipley (the guy who wrote my most favorite piece of software in the whole world) decides to comment on the original post, to work out what is so wrong with Apple that requires someone to ditch an almost brand new computer and "go back" to the PC world.

Turns out that our Larry isn't really as technically savvy as he should be if he's advising companies on his technology. There's so many things he says in his article that are just plain incorrect, as well as being completely informed that I'd be embarrased to publish anything like this on the web (although having said that, I'm sure that there are 5 million or so things wrong on this site, but at least one of the benefits of not many people reading it, or ever posting comments to it is that I can live in ignorant bliss for a long time yet).

So, in summary, we love Mac, we think Wil not only designs and writes some fantastic software, but he has a future in the comedy/on-line write stuff world (this isn't the first classic he's ever posted), and Larry is too dumb to realize when he's being dumb. His email (Larry's) is lbodine@lawmarketing.com if you feel like dropping him a line.
