1) They suck.
2) You have to buy mac stuff from them.
3) They suck.
4) It's too bright.
5) They Suck

So Ghandi, what are you trying to say??

Mac's suck??

Hey if some one game me a Titanium notebook... I would use it... there nice...

so would i but i would try and figure a way to put Win98SE on it.

My wife has an imac. The peripherals are either interchangeable with wintel or slightly more expensive
It is real easy to put windows on a mac: there is a program called virtual pc which lets you run windows xp or any other OS in a mac window.
btw, windows is more stable on a mac than on an intel machine in my limited experience. I too would love to have a new ibook or G4 dual processor.
I've experimented with the MacOS, Linux, but still know windows best, so it seems easiest. There are advantages to the mac including stability, and it seems more fun, like being in a special club----like in the old DOS days!!

Well, as you said, if someone gave me a mac laptop I would probably use it as a laptop. But, I'd never consider buying one myself due to my bias beleifs.

id use it as a lamp stand

when you turn in for the night it can be used as a night light when it's off.

its funny how fashion got incorporated into hardware....i want my stuff to look nice...but thats it...i dont want a fashion model, POS 100% plastic thingy...

unix is a operting system.

yes?
and?

Sorry, that is the result of a six year old typing while dad is away from the computer for a minute!!!!
BTW he has a laptop with Linux installed and is an 'expert' on the different distro's............

reminds me of the article about the hacker kid who ran lunix. anyone have the link?

found it

I am going to go against the post and say 5 reasons why I would buy one:

1. Stable
2. Unix based
3. No M$ viruses
4. Good mem management
5. GOod Hardware.

I have an Apple Macintosh Performa 637CD (yes it's the old 680x0 or 68k processor one for you hardcore Mac addicts ), and it's rotting away as we speak :wink: The funny thing was that I use to love Macs when I was a kid. I thought they were amazing because you could play games on it like Power Pete, Spectre, and etc. I was such a pure virgin w/ the Mac on my desktop, but it all changed when my friend bought a Packerd Bell! I became seduced into the "dark side" , and my Mac seemed incredibly slow and worthless all of a sudden. Ahhhh well, maybe there will be something superior to PC's, and we'll have fond memories of them as well

first off your off topic....you should create a new posts as too why you would buy a Macintosh.

second of all what have they done to your man!
did they take you miles beneath the surface of earth and tortue you until you claimed that they were better?!

either way i still wouldn't use a mac.

and if i remember right you can't just stick any piece of hardware into one of those things.

Woa, easy there Ghandi. I was just bring up some good old memories of my Mac days heh You don't have to get all authoritative on me Hmm, about why someone should buy a Mac, I have no clue :P I'm personally using a PC, and here's the specs (as pathetic as it may be, it's still a PC).

AMD Athlon 600 @ 630MHz
OCZ GeForce2 PRO 64MB @ 225/445MHz
ASUS K7V-T w/ 1008-D BIOS
Quantum 10GB 7200rpm UDMA 66
IBM 15.2GB 5400rpm UDMA 33 (Backup)
Xerox & MTec 256MB PC133 @ 105MHz 2-2-2
TEAC CDW54E 4x4x32 CD-RW
3COM OfficeConnect NIC
Yamaha 724 XWave-320
Philips 107S 17" Monitor
Boston Acoustics BA635 2.1
Logitech WheelMouse USB
Generic POS Win9x Keyboard
Antec KS282 Solutions Case

P.S. Slightly updated from a previous post, just in case you're wondering.

1 reason i dont use a mac....expensive for what you actually get...

Apple hardware may be expensive but you have to take a close look at what you are getting. The operating system and many additional (and great) applications are included in the price. While the Mhz rating might not be on par with x86 hardware the current G4s perform very well in many benchmarks. Most people commenting on Apple hardware can't even tell you what a 700Mhz G4 feels like to use - It's fast! Not to mention the 128bit Velocity engine.

Support for non hardware experts is fantastic, if your home-built PC is playing up it can be many frustrating hours to find the cause. You can drop your Apple hardware off at a service centre they will find and fix the problem for you with no charge.

There is little that can't be done just as well on a Mac that can be done on a PC. Long live the Mac!

macs are good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Any windows emulation on mac will run fucking slow.

as posted on another forum, im too lazy to write up another full post now so i'll just use my previous one.

If you have no fucking idea, then just stfu

1. Its not a Mac.. its an Apple Computer, and its also a PC, yes thats right, for all you un-enducated fags, PC stands for personal computer, which is;


2. Apple Computers have USB, AND Firewire (which was basically created by Apple, feel free to dispute) now as most of you know, this enables you to plug devices into your computer, hot swapable, now the chances are most of are using Microsoft USB optical mice plugged into your usb port, now as i stated, All new Apple computers have USB ports.. does this click inside your heads.. those mice you are using can be used on any newish Apple, and dont give me this "oh they dont come with the computer bullshit", how many new IBM- Compatable computers come with these mice (even though most the new Apple computers come with 3 button mice).

3. Non overclocking ability? just because Apple dont have the PC enthusiasts that the IBM- compatable world has does not mean that there is no ability, most people that use Apples are total retards, and dont have a clue what they are doing, i havent got the chance yet but many people have been able to overclock their g3s to the extreme as they dont have fans and run VERY cool.

4. When im in a bad mood, like now, dont mess with me.

1.stable
2. linux based
3.good hardware
4.Ilove macs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
5. much better windows is bad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

apples OS-x is not LINUX based...it is UNIX based...

sorry wasn't referring to you.....to the guy whom posted the last topic on the first page...

It's cool Ghandi. I take back all the things I said above heh

i hate people who dont know there os's unix not linux

*hugz sid*

The uninformed twits Just kidding most people don't know the difference.

yes, mac suck

yes, prod fag

if they'sucked' then no one would buy them

every thing has its user

addendum:

6) I'm not liberal
7) I'm not a hippy
I'm not...err..."that way". Yeah.

WTF is Mac grouped in with UNIX, anyway? They only lately became associated with unix when they went to OS X. Otherwise, unrelated.

gads , Posted on Mar 21 2002, 08:37 PM ,

what, so I'm slow.....

Yeah, have to disagree.

We bought 3 dual G5 Mac's this year. All 3 locked up and froze out of the box and were returned and exchanged. The next ones didn't lock right away, until we later added ram that we bought from Apple... all 3 started freezing up randomly. Returned again. The latest 3 seem to be ok, but man are they sluggish for the price and their supposed lightning fast processors.

Give me an AMD FX53 and XP any day over those things.

Having worked with them in the Biometrics project I completed last year, I completely agree with Freyd. Had similar experiences with ours, out of the box.

Give me a midrange i386 or comparable running SuSE and it'll do everythng Macs do, faster, stabler, and cheaper.

"The computer for the rest of us" my ass!
