Why the hell would anybody want to ever buy a PC? Brainwashed maybe?

        I am going to go Play my PSP some. It has a Linux variant in it
        Like a MAC.

        Sony is going to put Apple out of business in a buy out. I think it is strange that the SONY PSP has some "Mac" qualities in it. Its not a coincidence.

        Watch.
        Macs will always have a stranglehold on the creative marketplace and they play up to it most obsequiously. "Think different" is just a tagline used to play up to creative director's ego's to justify paying more for a machine that does less. But if anyone can wrest the latte sippers away from mac it would be Sony... but inroads... jeez.. every graphic design college in the world runs on macs even if it is changing slowly... but if the pupils are taught on macs and grow up to be teachers they teach on macs too.. it goes beyond hardware.

                  Well the difference between MAC and PC is minor. If you know a PC you should Know a MAC and vice Versa.

                  I really do not care either way, I use both its not a big deal.

                      Why yes you can why wouldnt you be able to?

                      I can install Photoshop 2.5 on my PC and it will still work ( Theoretically ) and thats umm well ghee alot longer than 4 years. It would suck because color ranges etc would suck but none the less...

                      How about WSFTP, thats been around for ever as a simple EXE proggie.

                          You'd think so, but a college isn't going to risk it when they buy 100k of new computers when they've got their established dealer and repair people.. also the risk of attracting lecturers that might be weighing up between two jobs.
                          People have an irrational fear of using a different machine.. in reality 99% of what they would be doing it identical.. I mean photoshop on the PC is no different to the mac except easier to use with alt+ shortcuts.

                                It was a retarded statement that didn't really require answering in the first place.. everyone has old computers they run new stuff on. Trying to quantify it with subjective experiences from partisan sources would be retarded. I've got a PC here almost 5 years old that runs all the latest stuff. *shrugs* a pointless argument.

                                    but after a while you will start to laugh at people who use PCs and start to think of your self as part of an elite group that is smarter than the rest of the world.
                                    It's called an inferiority complex.

                                    Replace you are not your job, with "You are not your computer".

                                      Amen brother. Choice of a pc or mac should always be supported of the needs on who's going to use it. I've heard comments that mac is far better than the pc but its just expensive and not all softwares in the market can run on it.

                                        Macs are like Aol for internet, they are for people who don't actually understand how a thing is supposed to work, so they buy a 'user friendly model' aka i'm a retard and can't learn, make it easy for me!

                                          Funny, because my PC is just a little older than 4 years and I *still* play any new game released, and use all the new programs. When I built it I made sure I did it right, with a great motherboard and a great AMD processor and with a few minor upgrades through the years it's still going strong. And at the time there were faster processors available (but much more expensive for the cost/performance ratio).

                                          Enthusiasts are the most retarded bunch ever. You think because one thing suits your needs you feel the urge to push it down everyone's throat like it's the next coming of christ. I'm quite versed on building computers and technical knowledge and when a customer asks me to build them a PC the first thing out of my mouth is "What do you need it to do?", not "Oh here I'll make you this"

                                          So go ahead, call yourself elite. You're so intelligent. In the meantime those who actually know what they're talking about sit and laugh at you.

                                            Silly rabbits, some facts.

                                            1. Unless you have used a Mac since OsX it is not something to compare to todays' Mac.
                                            2. Osx is Free BSD with an Apple GUI, rock solid Unix OS with an excellent gui.
                                            3. Macs are trouble free compared to Windows, very few viruses, trojans etc.
                                            4. Because the OS is BSD to transition to Intel will be easy for most software.
                                            5. Market share may be small but I like BMW's more than Chevys also; you get what you pay for.
                                            6. If windows suits you stick with it, if you want better and are willing to pay more for it try a Mac.

                                              Macs are for people who are incapable of figuring out a PC, who are incapable of being able to do upgrades, who are incapable of thinking for themselves.

                                              Macs are the "userfriendly" computer that will never need it's user to do more than stare blankly at the screen.

                                              That being said, for music composition, for design and various other tasks... a Mac is a much better computer for the simple reason that the programs created for it are superior.

                                              For doing business, the PC is the way to go as the Mac programs are still lacking.

                                              For applications, it's not a matter of which computer is better at this point.. it's a question of which platform has had more experience in creating the software.

                                              Neither computer is "wrong" or "worse"... they just have their strengths and weaknesses like everything else and you have to make your choice based on your own personal preference.

                                                The reason why Mac dropped Motorola is because they couldn't promise to keep making a fast enough chip, where as Intel said that they could do it.

                                                I am willing to be that the new chip will be very similar to what the G5's are using now. As far as I know (and that could be a short distance) it's the OS that ultimately runs the programs, not the chip.
                                                What? Intel is going to make a 'special' chip that will only be used for 3% of the market?

                                                Let's face it, when Apple goes to Intel, Apple will be selling a piece of software like Windows. So if the architecture is the same, and I can install Linux, Windows, FreeBSD, or MacOS (freeBSD with a GUI) on my Intel based machine.... which one am I going to install? The choice depends on what I am using it for.

                                                I wouldn't install Linux on my worst enemy's machine, so that eliminates that.

                                                I would only install FreeBSD on a server.

                                                I would only install Windows if I wanted to use every peice of software known to man, and not deal with niche bullshit.

                                                I would only install MacOS (what I am calling it, marketing gurus will rename it) if I wanted to be 'cool', vote Domocrat, run 10% of available software, and drive my microbus around SunnyVale. Peace brother.

                                                    Great points.

                                                    Personally, I hate Macs because of all the elitist designers who think their special.

                                                    Here's a tip to all designers out there: Just because you use a Mac for creative purposes, does not make you special or elite - just makes you another "designer" type person, who most likely creates shitty designs on a high-priced machine.

                                                    Yea, retarded answer; I know.

                                                      Damn so many stupid people on GFY. Im not saying your stupid for using a PC but I think your stupid for trying to argue with me. I have used PCs before alot in the past and still do from time to time. Most of you have never really spent much time on a mac so what room do you have to speak, really? Macs are a better built, higher quality product. END OF STORY!

                                                        You're right. No point in arguing with you. Too do so is stupid. Kind of like arguing with a rock.

                                                        Once again let's just say you are right. Who fucking cares? Why do Apple people always get their panties in a bunch when PC people don't praise Apple? I have yet to see ONE PC person try to convince and Apple person to switch. WHY? Because we don't give a fuck what you use. Don't you have better things to worry about?

All the mac people make such a big deal and tell all their friends, coworkers, etc... about their macs like most people do when they are very impressed with something, just like a movie. I think the fact that nobody ever does that about PCs should tell you something. And you say Im retarded?

                                                                if you are a company that writes software, what market would you write it for 3% or the 97% of the market.

                                                                back in the 1980's I helped with some process control software and doing a version for Apple didn't even enter the picture.

                                                                if I was a designer I might use one but can't think of any other reason..

                                                                Apple was smart in the early days, giving away computers 2 schools.

Of coure you don't get virus because what retarded hacker is going to waste time on the 3% of Mac owners? The person that writes a Mac virus will get laughed out of the hacker community. Same thing with FireFox lovers. They said the same crap. Now that they are getting more popular, guess what, hackers are writing virus for them. Hmmm funny how that works. If Macs even got to be 10% of the market you would start to see viruses for them. Macs not getting viruses have NOTHING to do with it being a "better" product" and everything to do with hackers being pragmatic.

It just does NOT make sense to spend that much money on something a PC can do just fine. Then there's the falacy that macs are more stable. Nope. A pc is just as stable. It's just a matter of what the end user loads on the PC. I've been in win2k for a long time... no complaints aside from typical stuff liek data coruption over time which even a Mac is able to succumb to.

                                                                              Enjoy your false sense of being better than every one because you have a mac.

                                                                                      All OS' have vulnerabilities - just windows gets exploited more because it's more prevalent. Being more prevalent means it's a bigger payoff to exploit. Just reading the topics in Phrack will let you know nothing is safe from breakdown (yea, I only partially understand the table of contents on that site).

Of coure you don't get virus because what retarded hacker is going to waste time on the 3% of Mac owners? The person that writes a Mac virus will get laughed out of the hacker community. Same thing with FireFox lovers. They said the same crap. Now that they are getting more popular, guess what, hackers are writing virus for them. Hmmm funny how that works. If Macs even got to be 10% of the market you would start to see viruses for them. Macs not getting viruses have NOTHING to do with it being a "better" product" and everything to do with hackers being pragmatic.
