Stupid mac.com. I tried e-mailing Lileks to tell him that TiVo doesn't need a phone line anymore (unless he still has a Series 1) and you can just use your home network, even if it's wireless but his lame mac.com e-mail address is over its quota.

LAME!

Don't let him hear you say anything mac related is lame.  He waxes poetic about how great mac is which, having never used one I couldn't actually dispute, but sounds a bit over the top.  However, he rags on the PC something fierce and knowing a thing or two about that I have to say the man may be on to something.  PC's do suck, but are Mac's really that good?

Having used both, I'd have to say that if we didn't live in a PC-dominated world, I'd be on a mac.  However, being a gamer, I just can't wait 8 months to a year for games to be ported to OSX before I play them, if they get there at all.  

However, Lileks has missed a few improvements to the PC world.  For instance, the music software he talked about today has a PC counterpart: Sonic Foundry's Acid.  It's keen.  And it's been out for several years.
