: I'm looking for an origin or meaning for this phrase. I've been
looking everywhere...can someone help me please?
I have no reference books/sites to give you so I will give you
the sense of what the phrase means. It seems to mean "Six of one,
half a dozen of another" or "take your pick".
I contribute to various technology forums and the following is a
paste from one of them that will give you an idea of how the phrase
is used:
"Personally, I think current Mac systems and current PC systems
are about a horse apiece. If you're comfortable with Mac, I'd say
stick with it, and if you're comfortable with the world of Bill
Gates, by all means be happy where you are, but there's no reason
for the infantile flame-fests between mac and pc advocates."
