How Many Are Using Apple Computers With Wildblue

[LS&N]

We do try to keep tabs on what systems our users are using on the WildBlue network. Right now, it's about 4% of customers who use Macs -- surprisingly low.

The question that comes to mind:
How do you determine a customers OS?

btw I use my mac for 99% of my computing needs
Mac's version of QuickBooks stinks so use a pc for that

My numbers come from Google Analytics from the people who are logging into WildBlue.net to read email, use their Start Page, etc. It's about 5 million visits per month, so the data is reasonably trustworthy.

I wouldn't recommend using the Mac Safari browser after reading this article. I guess everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have Safari installed on XP & seems to work fine. Untill I can afford one that may be close as I get to a Mac.

In our household, we have two 17" Intel iMacs running Mac OS 10.4.11 and one Toshiba laptop running Ubuntu Linux 8.10. We do not use Windows at all, and haven't for three years.

Well, MAC is a slow buggy operating system and is less secure then windows or linux, so i stay to windows or Linux most of the time, and not trying to offend people but MAC is mostly for computer illiterate people, i mean i use MAC OS some times just to try to it but it doesn't compare, to sweet old windows but hey thats my opinion.

I say if the customer knows how to install a dish and point it, then I say let the customer install their wildblue system and have that restriction removed where customers can't install 2-way dishes.

I myself can professionly install a Directv and Dish network system with no problems so why can't I install my own WildBlue or any other 2-way sattelite?

Now you're resurrecting old threads?

Two biggest reasons:

• Much tighter tolerances - talks to bird too, rather than just listening like tv
Installation quality can affect network and hardware life expectancy
• Lawyers
