The function performed does not appear to depend on any particular -brand- such as mac or pc. It definitely depends upon a particular physical composition..unless you've been using a word processor from your toaster or toilet bowl of late. The underlaying architecture of pc's and macs has been identical for a -long- time, they buy from the same suppliers. Back when there -was- a marginal difference it was a difference in the architecture of commensurate systmes that worked using the same principles in each and every example.
Perhaps you should stick with the type of stuff you know, spirit stuff? I was worried that you'd try to mix the two somehow and fuck one or the other up in the process, wasn't I?
And even if Chad -were- correct in his PC/Mac analogy, I've YET to see someone using a word processor in the absence of any computer at all...similarly, Chad has yet to demonstrate any mind existing independently of its brain.
