I would take both.
How? Why? What?
As he instructs us, "Before you all start screaming and cursing look back at my original question. And be honest."
He tells us, clearly:
"If you were on a desert island and you could only take the following two machines:
1. A MacPro with all apps installed with no internet connection
or
2. A Windows box with an internet connection, Firefox, IM, etc."
The operative word being you could only TAKE THE FOLLOWING TWO MACHINES:
Not one of the following, but both.
But, typo aside, I think the question is totally bull.
Why?
Because it is human instinct to survive.
An internet connection means rescue.
Rescue means survival.
Therefore internet = survival.
So it doesn't matter what the choices are. The choice that leads to survival will win.
The question is rigged, has nothing to do with which computer/OS is better, but instead is a block of deliberately controversial text that does not prove anything to me.
What do you all think?
