OptikaliLLusion Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 you have had to trouble shoot a mac right? THAT is the most horrific thing known to man!!! when something does go wrong it's so horrible I want to pull my hair out. and YESE I do happen to know how to use a mac. I actually had to spend time in class to get certified for MAC+ to work on the little turds. the best one to deal with on a mac: go put memory in the "tech servicable bay" of an LCD imac... THEN we'll talk about annoying... flaming retard engineers at mac should be beat for what they came up with. Yes, the iMacs in general are a ***** to fix up. Practically nothing you can do without voiding the warranty. But we've voided our CPU's warranty with OCing, so I guess that is no big dea . Second, you shouldn't get too many error messages with Mac OS X if you don't screw around with it. I've gotten a few error messages on XP HE where it says crap about Something.DLL not finding Somethingelse.DLL not seeing Randomcrap.exe.... so they are about even. Though I admit that the error messages are painful in the Mac system, since you can't look up the error number and what it means... Also, it is not MAC. MAC is Media Access Control, not Macintosh. Second, Media Access Control doesn't make Macs, Apple Computer Inc., does. Get your facts straight. Finally, let's admit it, we're biased. I grew up with Macs, so I find them easier to use and therefore am leaning towards them more than Windows, whereas most of you grew up with Windows, and therefore have some lean towards Windows more than Macs. Oh, and the Dual 2.5GHz G5 is about equal to the 3.2 GHz P4. Let's not forget short pipelines. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OptikaliLLusion Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 mac's are good until you accidentally hit this button If that is some put down to the Mac, then I suppose you forgot that PCs have a power button too! GASP! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dasterdly Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Dual CPU's are useless if you don't have programs written to make use of them. And almost all programs written for 2 procs are for video editing, which Macs are used for. Look at this funny mac video Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silverfox Posted June 10, 2004 Posted June 10, 2004 Well first of all, you have to ask the mentality of putting a speaker inside the case. Potentially a good idea....but somewhat flawed in the long run. Then there's the expensive lampshade look. Where I once worked, the screen went bust. The machine was renedered useless until it was fixed. Even a laptop has a secondary output for when it gets its' screen bust! To be fair though, they are usually well desinged and solidly built. And they do look nice. Secondly, I'll hate Macs forever simply because of A really rubbish version of quicktime that wrapped my beloved Pentium III 800 up the wall so far i couldn't reach it.

Mr_Yuck Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 If that is some put down to the Mac, then I suppose you forgot that PCs have a power button too! GASP! I think he means that when you press the power buttin it turns on, so a mac is all well and good until you turn it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ste Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 I like macs for web browsing and graphis/web designs and art stuff I like windows for games, adn all the programs not used with mac, if they made stuff that i wanted to use on mac i would, have one but they don't. I have like a 10 year old mac in my basement, never even connected to internet, has like100 MB of memory, its so Fing Acient, i swear the dust is older then my dad. But like i said I like windows because there is so much more you can do with it, you can screw with its settings, customize its hardware, OC it, i mean what can't you do with windows? well with Mac, its kinda a staright path with them. So whatever Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptikaliLLusion Posted June 11, 2004 Posted June 11, 2004 And a .1 upgrade is not some itsy bitsy thing... the upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 was like a new OS. And let's not forget that OS X is made 64-bit for the G5. Windows isn't available as a 64-bit to the general public yet.
