Mac.........

Windows 98 since 1984.

Enough said !

Mac technology is light years ahead of its PC competition. Do a cheap windows machine for games and use the Mac for Everything else.

Go for a duel G4 or the new G5 !!!

 

G5s are awesome.. very fast..

G4 powerbooks are still underpowered.. especially if you consider their price..

i got a 15" powerbook back in Feb... top of the line G4 1.25ghz, but OS X is so graphic intensive that it responds slower than my old 850mhz P3 laptop... i guess that's the price you pay for such a pretty OS

 

- I wouldn't get a wacintosh unless you're are going to be doing some crazy video editing shit, fucck a mac..

 

Ahem -- OS X comes with CVS as well as a complete development environment, Xcode.

Of course, if you know of an implementation, please point me in the right direction.

I've looked around (hard), and I wasn't able to find anything close to what tortoise does.

 

The only reason mac doesn't have that many viruses on problems is because no one uses them and the hackers don't care to write viruses for a comptuer that no one uses. If mac was more mainstream, it would have the same problems as windows.

 

I know all of the virus stuff, I know Macs aren't for gaming, and I dont plan on putting any games on it. I will build a seperate windows machine for games and not much else.

I just really hate all the crap associated with windows. How it just seems to constantly get slower and slower. How I have to fix problems every week and more increasingly everyday. I know alot of it has to do with warez on my computer but the slowness is more from flaws in windows than spyware. I clean this thing out every week with a variety of programs, and only real thing left to do is do a fresh install of windows.... which should never have to be done.

I dont know what I'm trying to say, I am going to think about this alot, Windows is just such a well intentioned program that was released too early and the user (me) sufferes dearly for it.

 

I thought about getting a Mac for a while now, but when I really think about it hard it doesn't make sense. I wouldn't do anything with it, I am too used to Windows and it's little quirks to invest time and money to re-learn how the wheel works. And after having used an iPod with Windows I will never touch Apple hardware. It's not as low-level accessible like regular PC/Windows based hardware. It's more like a closed appliance than configurable/thinkerable hardware like PC's.

BUT, if you are looking for an applianace then the Apple's are good at that.

 

What about Linux?
