My company maker's comment was a little too far, but I was talking about in the beginning.  Microsoft screws or buys out other companies whenever it feels it is the most effective thing to do, but Apple screws or buys out other companies whenever it feels that it is neccesary.

My 400mhz G4 works better than my Windows Duron 755mhz.  Wow, almost 100% difference!

I can run programs fairly decently even when the minimum system requirements of that program list something 50% better than what i've got.

Did you pay for windows xp?  Will someone pay for Tiger?  Tiger not only adds a new look, but it adds EIGHT great features.  Who could have thought of dashboard and its widgets?

What is with that alt-### crap?  Macs obtion-character is better.  Obtion-r=® Obtion-Shift-r=‰

Macs will always be hated and always be loved.  All systems have one thing in common: there will always be idiots trying to screw everyone over.

That is only opinion.  I could just as well say that MS buys out others to advance the progress of PCs, and apple buys out others to make themselves look more fashionable.  It certainly seems true in my experiences, but I don't hold it to be true.

Ummm...  Do you know that my PII 350 works better than a Duron 755?  First, as we already know in AMDs case, clockspeed doesn't measure performance.  Secondly, durons are crap.  Uber crap.  Don't compare a duron to a PPC, ever.  Just don't

Wow.  A dashboard with widgets.  Great feature.  Really.

that 'alt-### crap' is direct ascii input.  Hold down alt, then press the ID of the ascii number and you will get the character.  True it isn't as 'easy' as hitting opt+8 for a bullet, but atleast you have access to every single ascii character in the fontset.  AFAIK, OSX doesn't do that (could be wrong though)

Agreed, wholeheartedly.

Uh... is that sarcasm? Tiger's dashboard thingy is a blatant rip off of an already existing third party add on for 10.3.

As a film student, I regularly thrash the the hell out of the Macs we use, and Contrary to the popular belief that Macs never crash, I crash them .

Quite a bit actually.

But that said, Macs are awesome for what they're good at, IE: Video Editing, Graphics, etc.  Give me a PC for my Gaming needs.

However, I wish good old commodore amiga was still around making new systems.  that thing did everything pcs did in '94 back in '84.  Man, i love that computer.

And as a gamer, who usually assigns jump to his right click, and has frequently blown himself up in multiplayer Quake 2 on the Mac by attempting to jump whilst holding the rocket launcher and forgetting I'm on a Mac, I can only agree with Thor

Why don't you plug a two button mouse in, then?

No fair!

Macs vs PCs
Intel vs AMD
Nvidia vs ATI

There will always be some for one, and some for others.

Personally i prefer PCs, with AMD and Nvidia.  But i would not complain if i had to use a Mac, or if i got a nice Pentium 4, or an ATI card.  

Just personal preference for the others...

[Scuddie]

No, Dranon, not quite.

Macs and PCs are two entirely different platforms.
Intel and AMD have two entirely different architectures.
nVidia and ATi use two entirely different rendering methods.

It is not one vs another, but some people are too stubborn to see otherwise.  Macs are wonderful media machines.  Windows couldn't compare to the artisan capabilities that Macs have developed over the years.  Windows is great at being an all-purpose OS, covering many areas where Macs rarely ever venture.  Apples and oranges.  Pun intended.


And thank you dark, that big bolded statement was one of the smartest things said in this thread.  Although allcaps makes you look like you're yelling... Oh wait...

Because it's not my Mac to go playing with the Hardware on, and the owner hated PC's so much he wouldn't let me plug a PC mouse in, so I know that pc owners aren't the only 'haters' around (as if this thread hadn't convinced me). Still, the game was still fun
