I want a Mac ... BUT ... FACT.... :
 

I really want to kit us out with Mac's sometime down the line. I like the simplicity, I enjoy the OS (more than I enjoy Vista....or XP... by far) .... and I simply want them as our main systems.

BUT...

Mac owners are the ones who stir shit with the whole PC vs Mac thing. You usually find this. It fucks me off.

Sorry... simple, and short rant. But it's true. :2 cents:

Do you drink coffee with foam? If you dont you arent allowed to own a mac..

Oh that is it....no more design work for you :321GFY


:winkwink: :1orglaugh

Prove it.

What's the deal with airline peanuts?

Peanuts make you constipated, so they give them to you to keep you from filling the plane up with shit.

I don't need to prove it. It's true. Go find out for yourself.

Tell you what ... I'll do your next site... pay me with a new Mac :)

Thats about the lamest excuse I've ever heard. Who gives a fuck who started it or what it was about. If you like one better then the other go with it.

Besides all Mac owners are gay-a well known fact!

hahaha deal:thumbsup :winkwink:

Wait ... excuse? What excuse? I still want a Mac. I wasn't making excuses. My main excuse is that they're fucking hideously overpriced. I can build the same spec PC for 1/3rd of the price! But yeah, I still want one!!! :D lol

It's not the hardware that makes them better, it's the OS, and if you want the OS, you have to buy the hardware from them. Tricky little fuckers aren't they?

And why Macare only 4% of teh computer market. If they had been smart the would have licenced their OS out to other computer companies in the 1980's like MS did. If they did they'd be bigger now and MS wouldn't be. They could be doing this NOW if they wanted, yet Steve Jobs still continues to be a moron. And I should be something he created?

I use linux but the problem is with specific software availability and portability. I'd love to have a MAC. I think my next laptop will be one.

Bigger doesn't (and rarely) equals better. And I am sure Steve Jobs is doing just fine where he is.

Steve Jobs is doing fine indeed. Not only does he have a massive stake in Apple, but he also owns Pixar Animation Studios among other things. Yes, he's making plenty of cash.

Anyways ... yeah, still want a mac :)

Mac cost 15-20% more so the same thing you get in a PC and upgrading options for them is minimal. That's done on purpose so Macheads will have to buy a new one every 2-3 years.

Also the newer macs have the whole damn computer in the monitor so if your monitor gets shot you have to send in your whole Mac for repair. That goes for the webcam too since that is built into the monitor.

Also many sites on the net and many applications say "Not compatable with Mac" So good luck with that.

Build up a pc and put Fedora on it.. problem solved.

15-20% ??? Shit ... I dunno where you're getting your PC's from, but you're paying too much if they're only 15-20% cheaper than the same spec mac ! :D

Oh, but the ONLY application I use other than basic FTP and web browsing and IM, is Photoshop. That's it. I don't use my PC for anything else.

I know you use it to jack-off to horse porn.

who cares, buy whatever you like and need, screw the fucktards who battle about mac vs pc, that argument is like from 1999. :disgust

buy a mac pro, or better yet, wait until the 15th of april after the big show... there will most likely be new mac pro's untroduced and if so you can score the previous models much cheaper after the announcement... if you need serious horsepower the mac pro isn't any more expensive than dual xeon options from deall i believe.

the AIO (all in one) macs don't do much for me honestly, but the mac pro was a great buy..

I've got to admit.. I wouldn't want to be associated with macolytes either. It's just a tool ffs.. If they weren't so religiously fanatic there wouldn't have been half the stupid forum wars.

You don't upgrade your pc every 2-3 years?

I have a macbook and run xp on it... fact is that it was one of the fastest xp notebooks around when I bought it :) And it's cool to have the best of both worlds :thumbsup

poor steve, only worth 5.7 billion....

But anyone who buys Dell should be taken for a beating.

I am telling you ... if you buy all the parts and build your own PC, you can get the same spec as a top of the range Mac Pro, for WAY less than the retail of a Mac Pro. I'm talking... SERIOUSLY less money.

But... I still want a Mac. :) hehe

Upgrade is the keyword there.

WOW, you really have no idea what you're talking about uh?

Show me a website that says 'sorry, we don't work with macs'...?

I love my mac :D

There's just as many windows fanboys as mac fanboys. I reckon most of the mac vs pc arguments on this board come from the fact that there's still a lot of ignorance where macs are concerned. 'macs are good for design' 'macs don't have much software' etc etc...

mac users love their macs, so they just wanna defend them I guess. But I do agree a certain amount of zealots have an elitist attitude.

But that doesn't stop me buying them.

Mac Suck if your a gamer !!!
 

The hardware behind the Mac does not impress me one bit, however I really like their OS ... If you are a gamer then your limited by their hardware !!!

At least the AMD and Intel PCs can at least be upgraded every few years, if you choose... I just do not like the Windows Issues and would like to see the Mac Os on a PC...

So you like Macs ... ^^

Who the hell cares what you think about mac windows wars? Buy the best most cost effective tool for your needs. If a mac is better for you buy one, if not don't.

yea but you cant build it to integrate with that awesome operating system.

Oh wait did I just start some shit? Guess its true we Mac users are always starting trouble. LOL

Everyone one of these threads makes me wonder, because it's quite obvious:
Why are mac user's so uptight and easily offended?

I just don't get it. *shrug*

im a mac user and im not uptight and easily offended, im sick of the stupidity in this thread too...

i recently switeched from a loaded pc to a macpro G5 its night and day the apple is the far better solution...and I was not an apple fan until i tried them both...

Dude.... let me tell this to ya... You're a special breed: One of the few mac users who doesn't get offended if someone says something "bad" about an apple computer.

Thumbs up to you, man. It's just a fucking computer.

If someone bashes me for posting this from a pc laptop running linux, I'll just shrug and wonder which of their parent's had the genetic code that passed on the retarded gene.

Actually I'm a PC owner who stirred shit asking about buying a MAC :) And I bought one, and I love it!!

And apparently a PC owner started THIS shit stirring thread too, lol.

I wasn't starting a shit stirring thread about Mac vs PC... as much as just saying it's Mac users starting that argument. This thread is not about Mac being better or worse than PC's ... it's a thread about how I want a Mac, but know that most arguments about who's system is better, are started by Mac owners :)

Maybe if I buy one I'll start slagging PC's off more :D hehe

I still use both. I'm sitting here at a table in my shop right now with my Macbook and HP laptops open and working. My desktop setup at home is the same. One of both sitting under the desk.

I was following your predicament, but this logic doesn't float - your are comparing a brand machine with a BYO. That is not fair, since Apple is a hardware company, not a software company, so allowing OS X to run on any BYO PC would be corporate suicide. If you like OS X, you have to buy a Mac. If you like Apple Macs, then of course you buy a Mac. You can't compare prices on an Apple PC with a BYO PC. Just like you cna't compare a Dell PC with the cost of a BYO PC.

Oh, for god's sake - look Mac is short for Macintosh. IT'S NOT AN ACRONYM!

ditto.

I mean, really. It's not like you're plunging into the depths of hell or anything. It's just a frikken computer.
Is it expensive? Not really
Is it fast? Yes
Is it well designed? Hell, yeah
Is it as upgradable as a white-box PC? Not really
Will it make your life in front of a computer a pleasurable experience? Subjective, but for me, hell yeah.

Neither is "IT'S" "NOT" "AN" or "ACRONYM" but you thought it was OK to capitalize all the letters in those words too :)

Surely there's something else you can find fault in me for doing - that's QUITE <------ (also not an acronyn) a stretch. :upsidedow

no doubt, im actually posting this right now from my dell demension 3000, the mac is just a toy for me right now, as soon as i get some more money, i'll retire the dell and put my work on a mac desktop... i just recently started using a mac, and love it
