so it's a dead horse.

Beat, Beat, Beat, Beat, Beat. This is more fun that you would think, 400x better than sheep

[flaninacupboard]

You damn animal abuser! i'm gonna report you to the PETA!! :angry:

We'll have to compare notes sometime tgpo

Ain't the first animal .....

Would you rather it was a live horse?

MAC users of course. When MAC becomes the leader in practical applications available, I might consider typing an email on one.

another sheep... well when it becomes the standard of course it will be a good computer.. hey jerkoff are ferraris a standard car.. no dont think so... is ford a standard car .. yep!!!... i wonder which one is better... try to think of a NEW reason that PCs are "better"

ok, so tell me, what kinds of applications can I run on a brand new $500 Mac?

[thayne]

brand new $500 Mac???

A Mac is no ferrari. If you want to make a proper comparison it would be more like

PC = Ford
Mac = Chevy.....

[ViRaL1]

That's being polite.

[hexxisoft]

PCs have Vegas 5. MACs dont. I like PCs better but I understand if people would rather play with a nice slick toy mac.

[Supreme2k]

I have to admit that our new iMac is one bad-ass looking system. I wish I had a PC with that design.

[Conquest10]

Those screens are horrible though. They are designed good but the horrible quality of the image and the price are just too much.

[flaninacupboard]

Yeah, a Mac would look good on the bridge of the Enterprise. Sadly i don't have the same budget as starfleet.... :P

[ViRaL1]

Just to confuse things even MORE...a Mac IS a PC. :P

[Supreme2k]

Technically. But it's like saying "Band Aid brand" vs. "I need a band aid". PC has become synonynous with Intel/AMD based Windows type computers. Just like many people say "I'd like a coke" to mean "I'd like a carbonated water and syrup beverage, not necessarily Coca-Cola."

[ViRaL1]

The funny thing is people consider PC to be 'IBM compatible' (how long since they've been in the game?). Whereas a Mac is a Mac, don't think there IS a 'compatible' anymore; they pretty much squashed that. My biggest gripe with Mac users is that they talk about how everything 'just works.' This may be the case, I've never spent anymore time than I had to on a Mac. But when you compare compatibility, it's like saying 'I bought a Mini and a bought a part for a Mini and it worked fine right out of the box.' Meanwhile, on a PC you're talking about buying a GM part. If you have a GM car, it MAY work for you, but if it's part made for a Land Rover and you want it to work in your Pontiac Sunbird, good luck. I doubt PCs would have nearly as many compatibility problems if Intel designed the PCs AND the OS. They'd also be a lot more expensive (see Apple). When you have one group controlling the bulk of what's available, it's easy to make sure all the pieces fit. How well does OS X run on an AMD processor, or a Cyrix? Not that I'd even WANT to devote an entire summer to this but, at least you can run Linux on a Mac so you're not TOTALLY locked in, but outisde of that the options are few, both hardware and software wise.

[Conquest10]

What gets me more is people who use Macs and when put on a PC all they do is complain about how much "easier" it is on a Mac. The other day one was complaining about how if you name a file xxx.jpg.jpg it won't work if the html is set to xxx.jpg.
Another: Macs are better for design. How so? They talk about their Apple Cinema Display or whatever its called being better than a PC. Yet, I come up with better results using a PC with a calibrated monitor. How is a Mac better?

'This was no computing accident!'

[Capmaster]

Jobs and Wozniak missed the boat when they clutched hardware licensing close to their chests and didn't allow third-party licensing way back when. That gave the Intel platform the foothold that they've enjoyed since then.

[ViRaL1]

There were some third party 'Mac Compatible' machines out there for a while, but they died off.

Power Computing was one.

[hexxisoft]

the thing with mac (yes i've used both a mac and an "ibm compatible" is that I find a mac is much more....flimsy and slow. being skilled in FCP, AVID, and Vegas 5, both FCP and AVID are hardware intensive. I don't think it's possible to run 2 instances of FCP or AVID on a high end mac with out the thing having a shit fit. Vegas 5? I can run four different instances of it on a LOW-END computer with out it shitting bricks.

It seems like whatever mac does, it's a step below PC. I've also converted many people by showing them how much easier it is to do things on a PC...like Vegas 5, DVD Shrink, doing simple things like seeing how much hard disc space is left. Macs are flawed. Simple as that. I'd use it for a door stop or to put under the leg of a table if it was unbalanced, but for video production, software programming, graphic/web design, and gaming i'll be super happy with my IBM compatible.

Thayne's on the right track. You obviously can't label a MAC a Ferrari, but I don't think a Chevy either.

PC - American & Japanese made automobiles. Plenty or reliable, tons of strength, and are worlds top vehicles.

MAC - VOLVO, Renault, Subaru & Peugot

[thayne]

For me I like Apple's OS a lot better than windows or linux, but I like PC hardware over Apple's. It costs less and it's faster.

WHy do you think I said American and Japanese autos over the others? You try finding Volvo brake pads for less than 1 1/2 times the price of an american made vehicle. I owned a Renault Encore once. Bought it for $300. Replacement parts were twice the price, USED, of brand new american parts.

[thayne]

Problem is, Apple is an American company

[Doramius]

Problem is, Apple is an American company

I knew that. :P Pay attention to the metaphore. Name a foreign OS that has more practical applications than Windows & Mac.

Same here. Apple are quite pioneering with their hardware though, you have to give them that.

[ViRaL1]

Well, they're 'cute.' That's gotta count for something. :P

[gitreel]

I don't know if you can call them cute.
