^^ sorry, theres only so much you can talk about related to a new virus
btw, apples and oranges?? not at all. Both are computer operating systems that run virtually the same programs. I fail to see how they are that much different to the point where we can't compare them. -------------------- |

Both are computer operating systems that run virtually the same programs. I fail to see how they are that much different to the point where we can't compare them. They are different in the way that they run those system and how well they run them. Also, because of this, they are better in some ways and worse in others. The reference comes from the fact that some people prefer apples to oranges and vice versa. some people like Macs and others like PCs. Also, different fruits go better with certain dishes then others. You wouldn't want to drink apple juice with pancakes. the tastes clash. so by that logic, you wouldn't want to use a Mac if you are a gamer. Thus the comparison |
