    Mac user for life

    I'll get some ridicule for this thread I'm sure but I don't care. Changing from PC to Mac 4 years ago was the best move. I love my Mac and I especially love the FREE tech support I get at my local Apple store. First time I've ever gone in there today and not only did they fix the issues I was having but I had no idea the service was free. Made my day. It's nice to post something positive... Thought I'd spread the love... http://www.ynot.com/index.php?module...etail&uid=5107

                  I switched to a Mac about 6 months ago and LOVE IT. Since I have made the switch I have not turned on my windows machine at home.

                    you have pretty much provided the answer yourself. PC users are happy and entirely content with their machines. Mac fanboys on the other hand always have to start their little thread to compensate for their small dicks about how awesome their macs are. You never see PC users compensating. It's exclusive to mac fanboys.

                      Well, as predicted... this response was inevitable. I do find it amusing that dick size and youth usually find their way into it but never the other way around when someone gushes about their PC. Oh well whatever.

                        As a former PC user, if I was happy and content I would not have switched to Mac. I got sick of how XP got so bloated and had to be re-installed every 6 months or so, the blue screens of death, etc, etc, etc.

                        Since my switch to Mac I have not had one issue.

                          Nah man, I use all 3 operating systems and I recommend Mac the most because I like it. It's one of those things that you find cool and want to share with others, not the small-dick syndrome.

                            I would love to get down with you on this whole mac vs pc debate .. but truth is .. I was terrified to do the change over .. loved my PCs..swore by them and said I would be the last person to change .. I think a huge part of it was the learning curve .. 11 1/2 years on a PC and then to switch .. but after what I would call a longer than normal adjustment due to I'm sure my inner retard, I started to see a reliability, simplicity and speed that I couldn't dismiss .. personally I am happier .. thats all .. I wouldn't force feed anyone ..(accept my staff)... call me a mactard .. at least I am a happy one ..
                            No sig .. just me

                                    Ever notice how most Mac users are skinny? It's because of all the calories they burn because they can't shut the fuck up about how great their Macs are. What is it about Apple that makes its users unable to shut their mouths? Everywhere I go, there's another asshole with a Mac preaching about how much better Macs are than PCs.

                                        Then your skills are fucked up. I have installed XP more than two years ago and haven't reinstalled it yet. Haven't got any blue screens and other shit.

                                        Of couse no one will tell you that I am moving from Mac to PC, once they spent nice $ for that peace of shit, they won't admit that Macs sucks and will live with that. Go apple fan boys!

                                                Then your skills are fucked up. I have installed XP more than two years ago and haven't reinstalled it yet. Haven't got any blue screens and other shit.

                                                Of couse no one will tell you that I am moving from Mac to PC, once they spent nice $ for that peace of shit, they won't admit that Macs sucks and will live with that. Go apple fan boys!
                                                Yeah my skills are fucked because Microsoft puts out an operating system filled with bugs.

                                                      Ever notice how Mac users never put down PC's or their users .. we just softly comment on how happy we are with our product and move on ..

                                                        Once you go Mac, you never go back.

                                                            I tried. Really I did. Bought a tricked out MacBook Pro several months ago. Kept it for 2 or 3 months. Ended up selling it on Ebay for about a $1K loss. I just couldn't figure the damn thing out I think the biggest mistake I made was keeping my Windows laptop up and running. Whenever I'd hit a snag with the Mac, I'd just hop on the Windows. Maybe if I'd disconnected the Windows and been forced to figure the Mac out I would have. Who knows......

                                                              Can any of you Mac people recommend an MP3 player for mac that doesn't suck? Every single MP3 player I have found looks more like a fucking spreadsheet than a media player. Anything like winamp would be great.
                                                              I like pie.

"WOW .. i am so happy i switched from a MAC to a PC .. that alone has to say something .. best move I have made hardware wise ..

Couldnt stand it. He REALLY tried to like it too. I tried using it for a full day and bugged the shit out of me. Programs locked up, annoying to try and find programs we needed for simple everyday tasks like ftp etc.

Did I see you above recommend to Peaches she should of just ran windows on her mac? Whether I could of got him up and running is not a question. I 'could have' done that. Now is it worth the constant hassle trying to find work arounds for simple tasks? Fuck no. My duo core pc was just as fast as the quad core mac.

                                                                                Why do mac people think its normal to have to have a windows pc laying around to complete simple jobs? Name me one thing I cannot do with a pc that I can do on a mac. I dont have to have a mac laying around incase my pc cant accomplish a task. End of debate

                                                                                    Macs can run OS X and Windows Vista out of the box. Name 1 thing a PC can do that a Mac can't, and since a PC can run Windows, good luck to ya on that one.

I just couldn't figure the damn thing out I think the biggest mistake I made was keeping my Windows laptop up and running. Whenever I'd hit a snag with the Mac, I'd just hop on the Windows. Maybe if I'd disconnected the Windows and been forced to figure the Mac out I would have. Who knows......

I just stuck with using osx and eventually learned - it's just more convenient & efficient -- there are a lot of time-saving options in osx - my favorite being the "spaces" options (4 screens on one. have safari on one, mail client on other, ftp & terminal on another, and irc, icq, and aim on another).

"WOW .. i am so happy i switched from a MAC to a PC .. that alone has to say something .. best move I have made hardware wise ..

I should add that I have 2 iMacs a Mac book 2 ipods and I love em all and I stand at 5' 11" and weigh 170 so I guess the theory that I'm a skinny mac fan boy is right... by webmaster standards hell I'll say I'm amaciated. I'm not here to put down PC users. And I certainly have no anger or ill will towards them... that belongs to them.

Changing from PC to Mac 4 years ago was the best move. I love my Mac and I especially love the FREE tech support I get at my local Apple store. First time I've ever gone in there today and not only did they fix the issues I was having but I had no idea the service was free. Made my day. It's nice to post something positive... Thought I'd spread the love... http://www.ynot.com/index.php?module...etail&uid=5107
