This has been driving me NUTS lately.

Am I the only one noticing a trend lately wherein people everywhere seem to be going, "Oh, windows is so insecure and awful, I'll switch to Macs, they're better," without having a damn clue what they're talking about? When pressed, sure, they might say, "Macs don't get viruses," which is (of course) a fallacy, or, "Windows crashes all the time..."

Regardless, they switch to macs and then they're totally illiterate and I have to help them figure out wtf they're doing. And then when everything doesn't JUST WORK ZOMG like they're expecting it to, it's somehow *still* Windows' fault, somehow.

Ugh. I'm not advocating for one above the other. I use Mac, Windows, and Linux all three, though I have a definite preference for Windows, personally. Use what works for you.

But for fuck's sake can we all have a little bit less of that annoying superiority?

Oy...

I just spent 10 minutes attempting to get it into my user's head that saving Word Documents in the OLK Folders is a NO-NO. This user's skull was particularly thick.
