If you havent read this you must, I was literally laughing out loud.

LOL. Well, 'least they've got good taste! Changing the Windows key to the Code key was very clever.










I want a Mac.

I like the X over the windows key.

See, even the major fast-food chains support Apple. That looks like a sign. Although, it would be better if it were Burger King...

I prefer wendys to other fast food... I can get their chicken fillet sandwich or a square burger... either way it has better fries and sandwiches then the all other fast food joins combined (except for arbys, their roast beef is unmatched... but that is only one of my many moods).

[Conor]

No it doesnt I love my iBook and am saving up for a new G5, also if we are talking fast food I have to agree with Peo that Wendy's is the best

[Sam]

What?
How can you beat a good Sourdough Jack? plus no one else has a spokesman half as cool as Jack

[Aronya1]

Sliders rock!

[PeOfEo]

I don't go to fast food as much when the Bono's bbq drive in window is open... when it is after 11:00am (I think it opens then) I am getting my bbq sliced pork sandwich or smoked turkey. Its yummy.

what about a nice cheesy gordita crunch from taco bell?

[Conor]

here's one of the big problems with macs - you can buy one mac for the price of 3 pc's that will outperform it in most aspects of computing

you are seriously misinformed. The PC may have better specs but that does not mean it will not run faster or better. Also with a Mac I dont have to deal with viruses, or the famed blue screen or anything, I turn it on and it works. My windows PC which supposedly has better specs yet i can run more applications on my Mac without a bit of lag. Its all personal preference.

Heh, I just think we're easily distracted. Now I really don't feel tha- Look!!! A SPOON! Shiny....

Anywho, I'd have to say that I prefer PCs. My only problem with them is Windows, and how it has so much unnecessary junk. I personally scraped down this old piece of Windows ME junk to bare bones (and promptly filled it up with good software) but I really don't notice any lag. Even when I've got my apache server, mysql database, html-kit, Mozilla, IE, and Realplayer all on at once. Just me, though. Macs LOOK cooler, though...

LOL I used to have a really cool crapintosh gif. IF your talking fast food burgers NOBODY is better than steak and shake... if your talking fast food.. a&w.. there root bear is really good. Plus there usally with KFC and KFC is the best.

[kal'lar]

Well as I see it ...

Almost everything is written for windows...
Macs... don't look cooler.. than my comp anyway
Windows has better games...






B4 I get all the flaming messages on mac ports I know.... doesn't mean all of em work!

[Conor]

^^^ I dont use my computer for games anyway. I use it for development,web surfing,and instant messaging. My Mac does everything I want without giveing me any problems.

well, i never used macs for many large scaled applications other than flash mx, which didn't work that well with macs. IE didn't hold up well either, which doesn't surprise me because it's IE. i guess it all depends on what you use them for, though graphically i would vote for macs.

and there aren't a whole lot of steak and shakes floating around nebraska, but whenever i find one i try to go :D

[Conor]

it all depends what Mac OS you were on as well OSX is amazing IMO

[kal'lar]

Well theres a couple where I live.... in fop land.

[john_h]

i use windoze based pc and live linux on other computer... just for the record and for the flames I might get from this thread...


if you slam mac, you probalby never used one for the right purpose and you dont know what you are talking about. run pro-tools and edit some multi-track audio, then tell me about it. ask any audio professional what they use.

go visit a production studio and see what they are running. if its a studio worht a bean, they are running mac for ALL of their production and probably windows for their business offices and workstations because they are pros and know what to run where. windows for office work and mac for multimedia.

you wont find people on this forum, likely, who are on here with those types of macs, coz they arent meant to be used like that, so you will obviously hear a biased win32 opinion here. Mac is meant for industry, not gaming. a good deal of people here are gamers or web developers, not multimedia people. also... windows ME is not a multimedia platform, despite what you heard.

also... dont compare specs on mac and pc... it doesnt translate quite so easily as gb=gb or mHz=mHz...

it's true. when i got my cd recorded, it was entirely macs.

that sounds about right, except usually windows for home and office work.

But you still have to deal with massive security flaws. Look at what Apple finally got around to providing a patch for: http://theinquirer.net/?article=16090 Too bad they didn't manage to patch the whole problem: http://theinquirer.net/?article=16104 Better surf in trusted waters, else you might encounter a wipeout.

BTW, there have been some virii written for the Mac, but they don't spread as easily, due to Apple's miniscule marketshare (which probably also why Macs seem to receive less attention from the virii writers).

"This virus is horrible Jim, its killing off 90% of 2% of the worlds computers!"

I have a front fan pannel to control them and all of my fans and a front back lit temp guage. It looks better then your shiny mac. I wish I took the pics with the flash out so you can see the cathodes better though :(.

my pc looks better then your pansy mac.

pc: for a week I will only be running on 128mb of ram, can you feel the lag? This new motherboard is nice, but when my ram gets plugged into it they get into a hissy fit, so I have to use my slow pc2100 - 128 backup stick :(. But this new motherboard has sata-150mb... So I should be getting 1 more hd in this thing... a grand total of 3, that should be enough space for a little while. Also, when I get new ram, I will have a nice beefy platform to oc on.

[Conor]

Oh, I am well aware there are many security flaws I didnt say there wasnt, I just said I didnt have to deal with the viruses like I do on my PC

[PeOfEo]

Just tell your mom not to open email attachments... I told me mom never to open attachments, if she wants to she must ask me firts. I disabled the attachments that could contain militious stuff. That is the one way I get worms, viruses, trojans, because my mom opened an attachment... (thats how I got netsky in particular). Then once it gets on her pc, it makes its way over to mine when I am moving files around over the network. I have had very few backdoors, worms, viruses, etc, that I have gotten on my own, and I am sitting in a dmz. I only have pc-cillin to protect me, and for a while I did not have any anti virus software, made my way through the internet just fine though, scanned periodically would never find a thing. The biggest security flaw in the windows os is ignorant users, they let themselves be victims by downloading coolsong.mp3                                             .exe on kazaa.

[Conor]

Well maybe I just like Macs better :p

No it will not, it is simply a 3rd party product review of mac computers.

[davidbrent]

Winamp is perfect for my uses. It is quick loading and does not crash when loading mutiple tracks. I also reccomend it whole heartidly.

Best Wishes,

[john_h]

ok, 1 more time;

mac is for multi-media: any doubts, try to play some online games

pc is for office/home/gaming: any doubts, try to record, then edit multi-track audio

set-top-box is for biz

tv is for vegging

internet is for argueing and chatting (apparently)

you wouldnt try to take a lexus off-road, would you? use your pc for pc stuff, and use a mac if you a reason to. people who have macs sometimes play games, no problem there, but its a cross-over and is not what the mac excells at, just like all but the best pc isnt as good as a comparable mac at multi-media.

Mac is not for office work, despite they make Office and all that Corel stuff for it, its more cross-over, just like you have movie maker in xp, but the pc aint 'the best' at makin movies.

my recomendation:

1. if you dont like mac, dont buy one. you probably have no need for it in the first place.

2. dont say things that make you look ignorant like; I dont like them just because, and if you do, you should have at least used one for more than a half hour.

3. dont say you dont like something because you either dont understand it or how to use it.

I had an ibook, but I dropped it down 4 flights of stairs and it still worked! but the screen was cracked :( so i had to get rid of it :(

[PeOfEo]

I have seena laptop get hit by a truck... it still worked but the screen was completely destroyed, you could see one corner of it, the rest was black. They had to get rid of it needless to say...

[rhsunderground]

i have two laptop "computers" (and by computers i mean really heavy paper weights that have a calculator and notepad.) one of them is so old that it has and external floppy drive and many of the letters on the keys have worn off. the display went out on the other one, and so about $500 later it's back to a red tinted screen and the CD drive makes a God-awful noise when you start the comp up and/or open the cd drive.

[PeOfEo]

I would just want one with dreamweaver iis (or cassini) and access or enterprise manager. That was I could script from school.
