Yes, it was. My home machines are PCs because they're much less expensive, but at work I'm always on a G4. If Apple's machines didn't cost so much, I'd dump all my Athlon machines and replace them with G4s in a minute.

do you dare compare your g4 with a p4/3.0ghz machine?

Computers are all around me, but I have never seen an Apple, except on pictures. Never evar!

Not the one I'm on right now. 400MHz G4, PC100 RAM...I know a 3GHz P4 could tear it apart. However, this machine could stand up to an 800MHz or so Athlon. Plus, OS X is the best OS out there right now, for any platform.

wait... you were trashtalking with a g4/400mhz machine?

wow. you leave me speechless. :)

if you have any doubt check this out.
top of the line processor comparison.

it doesn't take a genius to realize that all the crap that apple is trying to market is all but a lie.

hey... and this is coming from a mac user. i too use both mac and pc.

and if you want to talk about best OS... i'd take Linux over OSX any day.

Give me reasons why.

dude...
check yourself.

before you go off trashtalking on things that you don't know...
get the facts.

and when you do... it usually helps to get them from more than one source.
i'd tell you... usually, the manufacturers are biased towards their own products.

haha.

dude i love macs and i love mac osx.
but the fact is... there's just no way... that a mac will own a pc.
not right now.

and as for your request of one reason:

while mac os costs me over $100... on a minor upgrade...
linux is free. :)

how's that for a reason!

your statements of

OS X is the best OS out there right now, for any platform.

do you even know what other os'es are out there?
have you ever used linux? different distro's of linux?
have you ever used something besides x86 & ppc?
off of your head... do you even know what other platforms are out there?

:)

Personally I don't see anything wrong with a Mac. Its an alternate platform for people who want to get away from Windows.

Actually, i think Apple should be applauded. They are the only alternate computer company thats still around - Commodore, Amiga, Atari, and countless others all went out of business. Apple is the only one that survived against the all mighty PC, and is actually doing quite well for themselves! I think that in itself deserves commendation.

Ha ha ha.. he called your bluff! He asks why Linux is better, and you say:

You all of a sudden think OS X is great and want to make peace
The only reason you can think of as to why Linux is better is that it's cheap.
You try to ask the same question he asked you... but without answering his FIRST.

You, sir, were 0wned.

Thanks for playing, good bye!

Owned? Pa-lease.

You're just another MacFanatic who loves to pay more for a system that doesn't outperform a pc. Look at the facts. There's nothing out there that supports the fact that Macs are better. Get over yourself.

i'm not sure what bluff PMac is talking about.
i said that i'd take Linux over OSX any day.

to me, it's silly to be saying that one os is the best.

when J3anyus was trashing PC with his g4/400... :)... (i just have to laugh at this.)
i pointed out that P4s were faster.
and then in his defense to p4 kicking his g4's butt, he brought up the os excuse.

going back to 'the best OS' argument, how do you measure OS'es?
there is no such thing as 'the best os for any platform'

if all you want to do is play games... there's none better than win 98se.
for web serving? *nix?
database server? debatable.

i mean the list goes on.

while under any given category... their might be an os that's better than the most...
in my opinion... osx does not top out on any categories except for perhaps in cool/snooty category.

only an ignorant fool will say that 'ah... this is the best os out there!'... nevermind for any platform. :)
that just tells you how much he doesn't know about os'es and platforms.

so why should i list out all my reasons as to why i'd take linux over mac osx ... when i know that i'm dealing with a fool?

bluff? :)
owned? :)

There are things a mac is better at than a PC, and things a PC is better at.

If I was an artist, I would have a Mac or god forbid, an amiga.

Sicne I am a gamer, I have a PC.

Can't we all just get along? ;)

i think that whole argument of macs are for artists... is a misconception.
perhaps back in mid 90's that was true...
since most graphic softwares were written for macs.
but nowadays... it really isn't the case.

don't get me wrong... i love macs. i have two macs at home... right now... along with 2 AMD's.
but whatever advantage that mac had over pc... hardware wise..
isn't there any more.

software wise... same deal.

os wise... since OSX is based on unix... it really is a mood point.

and on your note of getting along...
:)

i want to get along. otherwise i'd hate myself for using both. :)
i don't trash either one. but i just don't appreciate people trashing without facts. :)
i guess you call those people technology groupies.. or something ;)
