But I'm heavily invested in Mac and have had Zero issues in 12 years. And I absolutely know when I go to edit pics or vids, its gonna work.


I just wished My PCs, worked back then when I needed them to work. I wouldn't own Mac today.

Well, after 12 years, you're used to what you use, no sense changing, right? You're a legit mac user heh Anyone switching to mac during the xp era got applause from me, so long as it was not just a fashion statement. And because I got higher commissions on mac.. haha

What irks me is the "oh, windows never works right, always crashes, blah blah" when they hardly use their mac past blogging and FB, let alone touched a windows machine in their life heh Or the sad customer comparing a $5000 setup to a 250 dollar acer with windows vista on it that they brought in hoping we could make "faster". "Cant make it faster? OK.. this laptops sucks, im getting a mac, show me one!". "Duh it sucks, its a $250 machine but let me show you this mac you want, only $5000 with everything you said you wanted on it and puts 250 bux in my pocket! Besides, isn't it pretty? Nice colors huh?" Seriously... it was that easy.

For windows 8.1, the issue I do run into is the lack of support from hardware vendors. It irks me. I had to buy the latest and greatest of cheapest Audio Interface boxes for recording because of lack of support. I can't blame MS for that though, its the manufacturers taking too long. I had to replace my GPU card, too, cause nvideo couldnt get a solid driver working for 3 specific cards running under 8.1 but it was worth it, I now have more than enough horsepower. Little things like this happen in the mac-world, too. Though, not as often with their latest releases.

All that being said, if someone were to give me a nice mac pro setup for graphic stuff or an all-in-one imac for the kitchen? I'd be stoked as fuck
