Oh! So you're talking about using high-powered mainframes as client 
machines. All this time I thought you were talking about PCs. Guess I 
was wrong ;)

Most web designers have to deal with x-platform issues. Bully for you 
if you don't, but don't let your bigotry against users of operating 
systems cause you to make foolish statements like this - and the one 
about "not having to give a crap." You just as easily could have said 
"Our product doesn't run on Sparcs or Macs, so we don't have to worry 
about these issues." and dispensed with the rubbish qouoted below.

I've never understood why some people have to act so immaturely over 
something as simple as computer choice.

<tip type="cable modems">
My cable modem doesn't like the summer heat. Always have a backup 
internet connection if you rely on it for your work. Cheap dialup 
access will work great in a pinch. Mindspring offers 20 hrs of dialup 
per month with its high-speed services, for just such occasions. 
@Home does not, and will try to sell you Worldnet service.

Might be a reason to keep an AOL cd handy?
