Bryan at Arguing with signposts seems inordinately disturbed that some service for downloading Christian themed digital music files, LifeWay, is unavailable to Mac users even though they advertise that no special software is required:
BUT IT DOES REQUIRE A PEECEE!! AND SINCE WHEN IS WINDOWS MEDIA format not “special software”? If you go to the Web site to download a file, you find out that you *do* need special software to download. [Windows 98 or better] *** WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US WHO HAVE MACINTOSHES? ARE WE NOT ENTITLED TO FREE CHRISTIAN MUSIC DOWNLOADS? MUST WE SUFFER UNDER SUBSTANDARD, UNSECURE OPERATING SYSTEMS IN ORDER TO LISTEN TO REBECCA ST. JAMES AND AMY GRANT?
Indeed, now that the Berlin Wall has fallen and Apartheid ended, this may be the most pressing social crisis facing mankind.
And Bryan’s complaint doesn’t cover the half of it: You also have to own a computer. And have access to the Internet. What about poor Christians in the Third World who can’t afford a computer?
