Mac OS X v10.4 Tiger
 

Arrived today! I can't fucking wait to install it!

Eat your heart out, PC Users!

what would us PC users be jealous of?

Besides having a computer that works, very cool programs, amazing design, ease of use, no worries about viruses, and did I mention the computer works without crashing?

Besides that... maybe include...

Lack of frustration. Intuitive Design (both hardware and software) and generally being better than everyone else.

Owning a Mac when everyone else has a PC is like owning a Rolls Royce when everyone else is driving a Pinto Coupe.

ahh... so it's idiot proof... cool :)

Yeah Tiger is hot, installed it yesterday.

Looks pretty damn sweet. I love my stocks with them.

Indeed! :)

getting it this weekend.... sweeeeeet..... :1orglaugh

I bought a 5 computer license and am installing it on my Powerbook at the moment. I'll then install it on my iMac G5, my Power PC G5, and finally, the iBook.

:)

Installed on 2 computers so far. Looks great! No more syncing all your Macs through iSync, though... now you have to sync through .Mac. That'll take a little getting used to...

MAC is for posers...

Mac's are for the elite. PCs are for the Pinto crowd.

you have soooo much to learn oh young one...

You're talking to a computer science major who used only PCs until last summer, when I was finally educated with my first Mac purchased. Since that time I've purchased 4 more and now have 3 PCs, of which I only use 1. And then only grudgingly.

Is this really you DonovanPhillips? :1orglaugh

Add 150 lbs to that guy and then we can talk about it. LOL

Another great reason to switch.. :1orglaugh

RIGHTY! i wish i could afford a POWERMAC soon..... waaahh i need one! im starting to hate my pc :(

ohhh fuck actually i hated it.. shitty thing in the world! :helpme

That was fucking funny!! Everyone should watch that one! In fact, I think it deserves its very own thread!

- check

- check

- check

- as in "for dummies"?

- check

note..I have a pc..


LOL more like
MAC - Automatic GearBox (hence why you mac lovers keep mentioned "easy to use...etc)

PC - Manual GearBox

And we all know which one is better don't we ;)

I was an all mac guy once, now i use both. but here is the funniest switch to mac thing i have seen http://www.ellenfeiss.net/movie.php?...e_chapelle.mov

I've always used mac, so I'm used to it... I was getting frustrated with it when they had system 9, but system 10 is AMAZING and I'm sure the new 10.4 update will be hot too...

I also read this article about some research scientists who needed to proccess a lot of data and didnt want to buy a specialized UNIX based computer. They just hooked a few Mac G4s together typed in a few UNIX commands and ran their program... for much cheaper! thats hot shit

has anyone done any UNIX stuff on their mac?

I'm already a MAC user - but that is the fuckin funniest thing I've EVER seen :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

You simply WILL NOT understand unless you own a Mac. Believe me, I bad mouthed them for YEARS. I had to eat my words once I actually purchased one.

You're driving a Ford Taurus. You think it's fine. Someone tells you about their Rolls Royce. You say, "I don't need one. I have my Taurus. It has AC. It has Power Windows. It has tilt and cruise."

Then you are given the chance to own the Rolls. No longer can you be satisfied with the Taurus.

I dont believe in the whole Rolls Royce analogy, sorry Donnie. There sure is good and stable x86 machines there. But I am a convinced Mac fan as well, I use my iBook now more than my actual Windoze workstation, the next computer is definitely going to be a Mac. I simply find them more productive and convenient. Any Win user who is gonna flame Macs though never ever worked with one, is a moron. Prejudice is so easy.

I will say this: backup your mail before installing Tiger. Of the 3 systems I've upgraded so far, 2 of them lost mail. I did an "archive and install: preserving user and network settings", so that mail is still there, I just have to manually move it into the right place now. :(

The third system had a flawless install.

Got it today, but haven't had time to install it.

Wall Street Journal gave it a kickass review yesterday.

actually... been using computers longer than you... have studied on both pc and mac for the past 10 years....

Where did I mention how long I've been using computers?

The Dashboard is very cool. Widgets are fun.

I cant remember the last time my pc crashed.. or had a virus or anything.. I had a dual G5 and sold it after a few months.. MAC is gay.. :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

LOL, let them use their PC's... if they don't get it, they never will... It's and intelligence thing, you'll never convince an idiot that he's an idiot...

B - I - N - G - O !!

Why on earth would you get an ibook is all I want to know? Go powerbook yo! ;)

But anyway I cant wait to install it on my 3 G5s!

<3 OSX!

It's funny to watch people piss themselves over a UNIX GUI.

:glugglug

I have a Powerbook too. I have 4 Macs at the moment, although I've purchased 5 in the last year (one of them I gave to someone that desperately wanted it)

The iBook is what my Fiance wanted.

mac os has got a lot better since they switched to *nix. but mac apps are not much different to pc apps.. they crash, they freeze, they fuck up just the same ( i've seen it happen live at a mac demo for final cut & logic audio ) shit on macs can stuff up just as it does on pc's though most avid mac users are in denial about how often it happens. mac interface is a lot more streamlined than windows.. but not all pc's need to run on windows or a boring flavor of it.

Nah when something is idiot proof they just turn around and start making better idiots. :winkwink:

I don't think you will realize how cool OSX is until you use it. If I had a faster mac I would probably use it all the time, until then its Linux for me.

Any of you gusy ever try putting www.ubuntulinux.org on a PPC? I put it on my old mac and it ran pretty nice!

mad love for the new osx. i love it

I can't wait to install it on my G5 and 17" Powerbook :)
