Kind of a funny thread here... most posts on this board lobby for local, independent and urban options... but in this conversation about PC's using Mac OS and Windows OS, there is a concession to running with the herd... it's more cost effective, it's easier to implement and maintain, etc. Now you know why there is a McDonald's coming to Bricktown and why Chesapeake will do whatever they want with property they acquire and, yada, yada, yada. The reality is that Utopia is only a book and if you are waiting for a development like The Plaza, you will save time by moving to Kansas City where they already have The Plaza. The next time I hear anyone who has contributed veritas to the "reality" of "serious" computer dominance bemoaning corporate, cookie cutter, EFIS-skinned, anesthetic, reactionary developments, I will simply need to link this thread as a testament to your true natures.
