Here's a crazy idea, lunatic really

[audiovoodoo]

Only because there's 18 times as many Windows users

Now, if you compare them per capita.... 😛

You'll still find more Gay linux users in Canada...

They have computers in Canada? You'll be telling me they have them in Australia next.

Didn't they invent computers in Canada? :lol: ducks for cover.

No - that was the snowmobile, not the computer.

We have barbeques, we don't need computers.

Ah - throw another Mac on the barbie.

:lol:

If I'm not mistaken the honor goes to Charles Babbage ( 1837 - UK ) and more recently Konrad Zuse ( 1941 - DE ), John Atanasoff and Clifford Berry ( 1942 - US ) and Tommy Flowers and associates ( 1944 - UK - Colossus Mark I ).

Now if you're talking old school you could go back to the abacus ( 2700–2300 BC ? ), the Antikythera mechanism ( 150 BC ), the astrolabe ( 200 BC ) and the slide rule ( 1600s? ).

The first known digital computer would date back to 1937 - 1941 or thereabouts.

Yes we do, however it's quite difficult to get them running. I have a few 100ft. extension cords running into my igloo from the store down the road.

I thought you all had CANDU reactors in your basements? 😉

That's supposed to be a secret 😉

Windows > OS X when you have a small group of people trying to remote administrate hundreds of computers.

OS X is a PITA on a large enterprise network. Works great if all you need to do is login to the domain, print, browse the web. But that's all end user stuff.

OS X is like a castrated version of *nix/BSD with flashy graphics. *BUT* it runs smooth assuming none of the above on a large network.
