There are. But my iMac is from 1998. The Intel transition wasn't until 2005.

Yes, you are.

Boot Camp = dual booting. See response to 2.

Just a heads up.
Stop repeating yourself. Bring something both new and sensible to the table and I won't get so annoyed at you.

Yours are not wrong. They are simply not shared by me, or many that I know. You, on the other hand, have no comparable experiences on the Mac side to share with us. (Note the word "comparable.")

You are the one who started getting personal by attacking my experience. And then you also started bringing "who started earlier" into it. Don't lay this at my door. I am simply responding to comments that you made in both cases.

See? Now what does that contribute to the conversation? Absolutely nothing. I was not lying or being sarcastic at all when I said what I said. The fact that you were only able to respond with sarcasm says a lot, because up to now, you were doing pretty well in your responses.

That is news to exactly no one.

Excellent. Glad we're on the same page.

Well, that's your choice. I weigh the benefits though, and Apple comes out on top every time.
