		<description>&lt;i&gt;Apparently you don’t understand that an introduction usually gives the reader insight to the content of an article.&lt;/i&gt;

Apparently &lt;i&gt;you&lt;/i&gt; don&#039;t understand that the &lt;i&gt;headline&lt;/i&gt; usually gives the reader insight to the content of an article?

What do you NOT understand about, &quot;New Gateway Desktop Takes on Look of iMac, but &lt;i&gt;Can’t Match It&lt;/i&gt;&quot;?

That seems pretty concise to me.</description>

		<description>Mr. Lakes, it seems that even after all the time you took to write your response you still completely failed to see my point.  The article starts by saying “If you’ve lusted after Apple’s sleek, one-piece iMac desktop computers but have no interest in switching to the Mac, you’re in luck this holiday season”.  Apparently you don&#039;t understand that an introduction usually gives the reader  insight to the content of an article.  From that introduction I could conclude that I may get a good rundown of whether or not this is a well-designed Windows PC (especially in comparison to other windows PCs). In this context, how is repeated references to a Mac (which I do also own by the way) going to help my decision?  Thanks for missing my point completely and filling the page with your useless drivel.</description>

		<description>Responding to stupid comments by Adan Galvan at November 1st, 2007 at 8:25 am.

First off, why do you claim Walt is &quot;biased&quot; against the Mac, simply because he is able to say more positive about the Mac. Couldn&#039;t this simply be because the Mac has more positive things about it? As such, if someone is simply noting or listing these positive qualities, this is hardly a sign of bias! In fact, we normally call this &quot;honesty&quot;!

Second, what is the significance of WHERE and WHEN Walt makes positive PC comments? Proving he does NOT seem to be biased and is only stating the facts, he makes several positive statements and says that the Gateway One outperforms the Mac in a few areas. Additionally, placing the comments at the end of the article, rather than in the MIDDLE of the article actually makes them more likely to be remembered, based on psych experiments replicated many times. And finally, if the point of the article is that Mac is the clear winner in any iMac v PC One comparison, why would Walt begin by talking about the loser in the comparison??? Wouldn&#039;t he want to focus on the winner? Wouldn&#039;t this be doing the best service to his readers????

Next, your comment that you &quot;almost stopped reading&quot; is particularly stupid and telling. AGAIN, the guy is writing an article comparing Mac v PC computers. And, although he may use the word Mac more than any PC word, this certainly doesn&#039;t mean anything and is certainly no reason to &quot;stop reading&quot;. Indeed, do you want to be honestly informed or do you just want to receive validation for your stupid decision to be a PC user??? Also, I have not counted; but, being a comparison piece, I would NOT be surprised to discover that Gateway (or PC, in general) is mentioned as much as the Mac.

Finally, your comment about how &quot;ridiculous&quot; the article was, in that it proceeded to &quot;bash the Gateway with repeated comparisons to the Mac.&quot;

I have two comments to this:

1. AGAIN, the article was about comparing the two platforms. Why, then, would you have expected anything else??? In fact, what exactly did you expect, if you did not expect the article to be exactly what it was and claimed to be???

2. How is doing a true and honest comparison of two computers in any way &quot;bashing&quot; one of the computers??? I mean: You would only have a point, if the two computers are IDENTICAL in every important way. Then, saying that one is better than the other would certainly be nothing more than &quot;bashing&quot;. However, where and when one of the models is clearly *better* than the other, it is NOT bashing the lesser model to honestly admit it is a &quot;lesser model&quot;.

Talk about &quot;bias&quot;, Mr. Galvan!!! You need to look in the mirror, since you are clearly biased AGAINST Macs. It sounds like you only want to hear positive things about the PC and nothing else. If that&#039;s the case, stay off the internet, since it just might contaminate you with TRUE INFORMATION. And clearly you don&#039;t like that!</description>

		<description>I am surprised that Walt didn&#039;t mention that the all in one cable idea was actually borrowed and from Apple. 

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Display_Connector

Although, it was a great idea, Apple discontinued it because people didn&#039;t like the fact that the cable was non standard.</description>

		<description>I do not see how one can speak of price comparisons when the DRAM and CPU speed, wireless mouse and keyboard, and really cool idea for the network cable are so much different (better?) in the Gateway.

I think belittling the 19&quot; display for the Gateway is a bit overdone. 19&quot; is quite nice in a flat display.</description>

		<description>Although I do appreciate Walt&#039;s honesty (and obvious bias towards Apple products), I wish he would perhaps state some of the good things regarding this machine in the first 2/3 of the column. I was ready to stop reading because every other sentence gives a reference to a Mac.  He begins by saying 

&quot;If you’ve lusted after Apple’s sleek, one-piece iMac desktop computers but have no interest in switching to the Mac, you’re in luck this holiday season&quot;

but then proceeds to bash the Gateway with repeated comparisons to the Mac. Ridiculous.</description>
