Macs suck! Or something.

Now you're getting the idea.

And Macs do suck d!ck. Clinging on to that 5% marketshare must be hard too...only the die hard crackhead Mac addicts dare buy them

Yeah, they must be smoking something to buy a great looking case, with decent hardware, and an OS that has no equal on the desktop. The freaks

Well.........that's what they think they're getting........................but then what they were smoking wears off and they find out they're actually stuck with a Mac.............:Q

No where else can you get Desktops/notebooks with that much power and battery life with a supported Unix OS. That makes it much more attractive to me atleast.

Opinions are like.............well..........you know..............and everyone has them! You like yours and it works for you.........I have mine and it has worked for me for a long, long time now.....................neither is right............neither is wrong..........they're just opinions and preferences..............

I never said your choice was wrong. I use a variety of machines. I like them all (to a degree). Variety is the spice of life, and damnit Intel or AMD isnt enough variety for me. Im pretty much done defending the Mac. GAME ON! Or something.

Hey give n0cmonkey a break, hes pretty normal for a Mac user. Most of them treat it like a freakin religion or something...

True that .. and if you bash him then he definately won't help you out when you hit up his home forum
I'm with you n0c .. Macs suck! or something.
Don't worry dude, people just like to be bigots, it's in their nature. I run x86 solely, and only cause I can't afford an i-book.... and yes, variety is the spice of life.

ToBeMe
I wish I was like you man, you're my hero.

 

[n0cmonkey]

I was actually quite disappointed with the new PowerMacs. The missing 7470 hit me like a delayed hammer...

That guy on tech tv (can't remember his name but he seems to love macs) is a perfect example of this.

And this article is dated the 21st so it looks new to me.

This particular article yes, but there were plenty of other threads on the same subject.

blah blah blah, DDR almost useless in these machines, blah blah blah, 1MB of cache not enough, blah blah blah 7455s, blah blah blah fixed with 7470s in the next iteration, blah blah blah. Pretty much sums it up. Oh yeah, and I forgot the obligatory "iF yOu UsE a MAC yOu R gAy!" or whatever simple minded people say.

You forgot the Apple fanboys who are going post stuff like "sure Macs are more expensive and aren't as fast as PC's in games, but they are still faster in (insert obscure Photoshop or Final Cut Pro benchmark here)!" and "OS X.1" rocks! I can't wait to pay $49 for the OSX.2 upgrade!"

Im a mac fan but I will not mention Final Cut Pro (although I do believe it performs better on the Mac than on x86 machines...) or photoshop. And Mac OS X 10.2 does *not* cost $49. It costs $120. Of course, Windows costs what? Twice that?

Ummm...windoze costs...ummmm..... $0... lol..... at least until SP2 of xp comes out for most people

No actually. It costs what? $300 for pro? Just because you steal it doesnt mean everyone does.

Actually, I paid $49 for my full retail copy of Win XP Pro on Hot Deals (promotion by Microsoft). And you can also get an OEM copy of XP Pro for ~ $120 on NewEgg.

Alright, $120 for an OEM copy of XP, $120 for a RETAIL copy of Mac OS X 10.2. Mac OS X 10.2 sounds like a much better deal (when you look at the software that comes with it).

And you're in that 5% minority. Sorta like KIA and Hyundai in the auto industry

Actually, if I was going to compare Apple to a car company, I'd compare it to Saab. Both companies produce weird looking, overpriced, and overrated products, and both companies sell most of stuff to elitist snobs. Both companies have rabid fan clubs, but 95% of the population is smart enough to be using something else.

BUAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAAH...TRUE, TRUE

 

[Evadman]

Mash the mac all you want. I have my to of the line Amiga! Whohoo!

 

[Go3iverson]

What really gets me is why people have to go out of their way to spend their time bashing Macs. Would we all be that much better off with NO hardware alternatives to x86? FireWire was a bad thing? Never having a driver issue? Being restricted to choosing from only the newest, top of the line graphics cards? Gigabit networking on all the high end machines standard?

I don't get it. Maybe because, barring the massive power outage and updating my OS, I haven't been forced to reboot my Quicksilver in one year now. BTW, that's when I bought it. Same thing with my Mac OS X Server. Well, until that massive powerouttage fried the mobo and hard drive, which Apple replaced for me, free of charge within 4 days.

Maybe its because I work on a campus that has more Macs than PCs, yet, according to our support numbers, we get literally about 14 PC's back for repairs for every 1 Apple. No joke. No mixing up numbers. That's a legit ratio.

I mean, I have my Athlon XP 1700+ with DDR and M$ XP Pro (didnt pay for it of course) sitting next to my Apples. It has its uses. I'll want to cross platform check something I've worked on. Its nice for downloading mp3s. Its a nice machine, but I'd take Mac OS X anyday over anything M$ can come up with.

Am I an avid Mac user? Yes. Am I dillusional? No. I like the OS. I trust it. I don't have apps constantly telling me to contact M$ in it. What's so wrong about that? OS X is a great thing. In the last few months alone, 7 people that I know have jumped platforms due to seeing its use in my room and office everyday. I know that doesn't sound like much, but to invest in a whole new computer as a college student doesn't happen everyday, no matter what the cost.

 

[Desslok]

I agree with you for the most part. Apple has come up with some great hardware advances, but before OS X their OS looked and felt oversimpilfied to me. What gets me is that they lie about stupid things in their ads. They use the same old tired benchmarks and correct me if I am wrong, but isn't MS office the only really good office suite for the MAC?

But if you buy XP you pay $0 for SP1, $0 for SP2, $0 for SP3.....

Buy OS X, and they make you pay for OS X Jaguar, which is basically just SP 2 right?

Only in an Apple thread will you see certain folks defend Microsoft and Windows.

No, its the XP to 10.1's 2k or 10.0's NT 4. Major changes were made inclulding a compiler upgrade and some hefy features.
