my school's mac are g5. they arent the ghetto g4 400mhz that runs craptastic

 

can i ask the where you work and go to school question?

the macs at my school are ok, but the network sucks. im in community college though for now untill i transfer out to a good school. ill probably be majoring in computer graphics and film/animation.

 

I went Austin Peay State University in TN and I currently work for a small record label in Nashville as a designer.

What type of graphics and animation are you looking to get into... like 3D type things such as Pixar or ILM or more on the lines of film like cinematography?

 

SO NOW you're blaming the network???
so the mac is all superior to pc even though the network.

i see it all now.

i'm am enlightened. so mac are soo wonderful and when shit happen it doesn't get blame because its expensive and cool looking.

neat.

ill run out and get a dual g5 2ghz with a 21 inch monitor for 10 grand. that should do it right and it won't be the mac's fault should it crash because of the networking..


my school=de anza college in california=the #1 community college in cali and close to top community college in the nation.

and our connection aint slow. i dl at 2mb/s on the school's network at peak hours

 

I'm just saying.. the only problems I've ever seen that Mac's have is with networking. Lay off the coffee man... or don't take so many hours at your Community College because your way over stressed about a PC vs Mac disagreement.

 

My Alienware system looked much cooler than my Mac

I love their fan covers

 

because mac owner have such big ego that their computer is better because it does what they called "graphics better". i see that as an overstatement.

they compare mac perform better side by side with the same cpu power # and not the price. another thing. if macs are soo horrible at network. then they should be avoided. network is the future.

back to graphics. you do realize that the gaming industry is the majority force driving the technological innovation for pcs today. had it not been for gaming, the graphics industry wouldn't be as strong. with that in mine. gamers demand better hardware for their gaming experience. thus pushes for new development of every single hardware piece.

harddrive
rams
sounds
etc....

macs are overpriced for the work they do.

 

Jeez guys, chill.

Mac users will continue to use macs, PC users will stick with PCs. I use linux sometimes, does that mean that I think everything else is inferior? No, they all have their trade-offs. Macs will always be more expensive, that's just the economics of Apple. Personally, I prefer PC architecture because I can screw with it more. I'm much more open to Apple Land now that they've moved to a UNIX based OS. OS9 blew big monkey balls, OSX is WAY better. It is BSD based though, not linux, which is (sometimes) and important difference. I can run perl scripts just the same that I can in Windows that I could in OSX. OK, there are some differences in the Perl distributions, but most of them are well documented. Besides, I use Cygwin, which is a simulated linux environment.

Apple took BSD, tweaked it, and made common libraries and a nice (I think awesome) GUI to go with it. This is the problem with linux, there are too many libraries and too many GUI frameworks etc. Nothing plays along, and it just drags the system to a crawl.

It's not the graphics hardware on Macs that is better, it's the software and the fact that the CPU is RISC based, so stop beating that drum. The color calibration etc is much better supported on Macs because they know who uses them. PCs are still playing catchup with Macs in the respect.

It's apples and oranges, give it up.

 

aww.. but its fun to see the people get riled about their computers.. I like my ego

 

Nice
