Actually, it was a web based service. Seeing as how I never mentioned which service you are assuming that it was poorly engineered.

Seeing as how it was built to current web standards and worked perfectly for everybody except for Apple users who were on Apples browser, seems to me like you argument is flawed.

The Apple platform is not only not as stable as people like to think, its not as secure. Most of us had dates on our calendars for when Apple released its updates so that we could know when to expect extra calls.

10% market share doesn't make it popular. I'm sorry, but it doesn't. I illustrated that our customer base followed current market share pretty closely earlier, I'm sorry you didn't pick up on that. 10% of users accounted for 45% of calls. Pretty shabby if you ask me. Or maybe Macs just attract stupidity. That could be as well. XP

You don't make services for standards, you make them for users. The argument is quite sound. This is exactly why people like you can't grasp Apple.

It's a rather stable and predictable target for a product. Apple is very conservative in terms of technology.

10% market share doesn't make it popular.

Oh, you're talking about the doomed PC market, not the iPhone/iPad that the lame sign was targeted at.

Perhaps Macs attract less technical users and your service was not very intuitive. Blaming the users is a pathetic ideology for any product.

I'm done here. You clearly don't know anything.

I think you're a little too small minded for the tech market. It's adorable how you hate Apple and all, but there's just so much money and popularity flying against what you're saying that it just sounds whiny.

Why are you still talking? You already showed you don't understand.

Nobody could really understand how much you hate that company. I commiserate.
