sucky macs. look like toys.

I've noticed that mac users somehow seem to have an elitist attitude toward the PC masses. (not dumb masses)

Anyhow it's like the old beta vs VHS - the beta snobs were all superior and said that VHS was for the masses. Well we all know how that one turned out!

I always figured that it was good to have the same platform as most of your friends (the masses) thereby being able to share shit from time to time.
Windoze fallacy number 1!!! I am amazed this one is still around!

Macs can view/open/edit .jpgs .gifs .docs .xls .wmv .mp3/ , ETC. ETC.... ...so what do you want to share with me Nancy



Oh and just for you Trent

Right but you still have 3 days left in the week with no computer since you will be de virusing the 4 Windoze machines most of the time!

To be fair to the PC side of the argument, how long did your FIRST 17" PowerBook last before a TOTAL failure?

I've always used the "Windows are for writers, Macs are for artists" theory. I used to use mac, now I use windows. They are both just fine with me.

Hmmmm lets see. Apple was one of the founding companies (with a host of PC companies as well) that pioneered Firwire IEEE1494 ...this high-speed data transfer technology is JUST NOW becoming standard on Windoze machines...so any newer drive that will work on a PC will work on a MAC...


The same VIdeo card manufacturers on the PC platform make the best MAC video cards ATI & Nvidia

Software is obviously is platform dependent, and sure there is more software for Pee-Cees, but how much of it is worthwhile? OsX has changed the software availability landscape for Macs Since it is a rewrite/ compilation of UNIX...and with Xwindows you can pretty much run any UNIX app!!


Dont even get me started on the virus propagation that you poor Windows people have to deal with

I have.

We buy hundreds of PC's for our customers. A few years ago I had a batch of 35 IBM pc's to set up and one of them was DOA. The IBM repair guy came and put a new mother board in and we were good to go!
