I immediately searched for "Mac" and oh man. So much fun to read. This one has a lot of back and forth:

You own a PC too. I own four macs, remember?

But when using them, I want the computer to think with me and not for me, if you know what I mean. Keep in mind that I use both Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7.

In my opinion, a Mac thinks for me, not with me. That's exactly what I hate about it. Unless you're a tech geek and can program in Unix. Then it's brilliant, but that's not really the idea.

Haha, searching Mac on a computerforum that isn't an apple forum (I got kicked off of three apple forums for being critical. Not even negative!) is like searching for "Bose" on a serious audio forum. You should try

what's wrong with Bose? I hear you making fun and bad mouthing it so much but why is it?

I heard there is a problem with the fuse blowing out quickly but anything else wrong with them?

It's really expensive and it sounds very very bad compared to speakers that are an awful lot cheaper. Bose is just very cheap crap for a very large price.
The marketing is great, so people fall for it, but except for some nice amplifiers back in the 70's and some decent car audio, bose hasn't produced anything worth mentioning. And still people buy it and buy it and buy it...

PC for fun, Mac for work.

I wonder who voted "screw them both"? Dayvan? I know she uses Linux.

s_k · 04-01-2011, 02:34 PM

Still a PC, innit?

Having said that: If I coul have Mac design at a PC price running Windows or properly running Linux, I'd dig that. I still love this one:

I will buy this once. Not yet.
It's stupid to pay 150 dollars for a computer that's 11 years old and is pretty much useless.
For the same money you buy a 2-3 year old PC... 11 year old PC's well... I have a pile of those. Literally.

Yeah that's true.
Apple PC or any other PC should be the question.
