My all time favorite here:

Goes right along with Bill Gates a few years ago demoing a previous version and it crashes during the demo live on stage.

It rocks! I noticed on the 1.0 release they ditched the quack as the default notification sound.

Thank god. Although I have sound turned off most of the time, that little quack is even more annoying than ICQ's trademark, "Uh-oh"

First off there was not a bigger trash talker about macs then me. But that was before I tried one. No I have a mac book pro that triple boots OSX, XP , and Redhat 6. Its the best of all worlds.

You PC users are right in that the biggest problem mac's have is the user base. To many of the people that buy them do it for the style not the great bsd based OS. To many idiots buy one and then dont take the time to learn it . The dumbest emails we have gotten are from mac users that cant figure out how to play a windows media player file. Its such an easy thing to do that it scares me yet people find a way to mess it up.

So to sum up Dont blame macs for the dumb asses that use them cause the OS is amazing and long live adium.

Nice post, man.

I just did a poll down here in Costa, and apparently they all think Macs suck.

The only reason I have a PC is to see how there rest of the world sees my site. The rest of the computers in my office are all Apple.

Who did you poll. A few of your friends?

Polls here on GFY don't lie.

You also say 'apparently' . Are you not sure? Or did you just make it up?

Macs are garbage, hence 4% of the worlds comp users own one.

Do you know how many of the world's population own a Ferrari? does that mean they are garbage aswell?

Idiot. Do you see OS X being sold with Dell & HP machines? No. Look into that and then you'll realise why Macs have a lower market share. It has nothing at all to do with choice.

i am doing my work faster on mac than on pc.

Angelo22 02-25-2007 07:40 AM

Ehm.. i just like to vote for things

Jim_Gunn 02-25-2007 11:17 AM

I have multiple pc workstations and thousands of dollars in pc software for video editing, encoding, DVD authoring, graphic design etc that are working well for me, so switching to Mac is not an viable option at this point. I am not a hater though, some of my best friends use Mac for design work and personal computer use, and they like it a lot.

Turboface 02-26-2007 04:40 AM

I guess I should have titled the thread differently. This poll is just wrong. Mac users are a vast minority of computer users. Well, at least you Mac guys get to feel good about yourselves for a bit, so I guess all is well.

This poll is not wrong. The numbers don't lie. You could argue that Mac users being a tight nit community with elite attitude feel compeled to vote while PC users are completely indifferent. That in itself tells a story doesn't it? You didn't get the results you expected and you can tell yourself whatever you like to make it seem better but the fact is this poll has exposed the truth.

Those who have used both almost always prefer Macs. There's a few people here who have admitted to being a Mac hater and then had to eat face when they've tried Macs and realized how stupid they were. You don't very often hear of a Mac user switching to PC and loving it. In fact I don't think I've ever heard of that happening.

I have mutliple versions of both... I hold an MSCE I have build WAN's for large companys using everything from Windows server to Novell to AS400's. With all that behind me, the fucking Mac rules. Sorry, hate the truth if you will... get caught up in all the idiot hype, adds, fighting between the different formats... let the smoke clear and the Mac is still on top.

Best thing is this... Find a way to get your hands on a new Intel mac for a week.. use it. Encode video on it. Surf the web on it. get your email on it. Really use it.... then come back here and tell us which you like better.

Words :thumbsup :thumbsup

Turboface 02-28-2007 01:18 AM

I see a number of very similar threads spawning since I started this one. I am glad. This issue seems to be the big divide. I didn't realize how many people felt so strongly on both fronts.
