    lol the interface is too user friendly.

    If you need to do anything more complicated command + space bar > terminal = problem solved. I'm sure almost all of you own some form of ipod (itouch/iphone, whatever). How come you all don't just buy that sexy $30 rio player that does the exact same things with more space...instead of paying that evil apple premium. I noticed this trend though with people....they'll hate on mac computers but end up buying one of the peripheral electronics and then convert.

    The one thing that gives you guys away as just culture biased is that you hate on apple. Indifference makes sense...who cares...it's a computer like anything else...but you all hint at dislike for people at the genius bar, the commercials, paying more for the design, and your perception of people who use macs. Have you ever tried to get a computer fixed by geeksquad? They'll charge you $400 for a used 500gb hard drive. I would know I worked there years ago. They're a business trying to make money...they're not your friend...ESPECIALLY if you're out of warranty. If you're stupid enough to expect an OEM price on a replacement hard drive at a walk-in store...they're going to assume you don't know about newegg and take you for all you're worth.

    JeanPaul you're talking about "one cord cube" and "power mac" so I'm gonna assume you haven't used any of the latest apple offerings. I can't attest to how great macs were 4 years ago...but I know if I sit down at a macbook today that there's a 90% chance it's running like butter, regardless of the user, programs or time in use. Can't say the same about your average PC.

    I stand by everything I said before and I don't think anything said since detracts from it. There wouldn't be a huge community of people putting OSX on dell, hp, lenovo computers if the OS wasn't something in its own right. And that's all I'm really advocating for...fuck everything else...OSX on a mac is just icing...but OSX itself is like a linux distro that holds up to everyday use.

    I'm just trying to balance out the people here talking out of their ass and give some tangible support for mac/osx. Then again I guess I have to remember I am the minority.

    so being the minority automatically makes you right?

    lol no I just said it to get you to say that hahaha. Since mac vs pc forum debate #908239402 is once again pointless I figured I'd pull the old "poor minority" flamebait card.

    but just for the record I never said anything about being right or wrong. I just wanted to give a counter argument to what jean paul originally said in order to support anyone that might be considering a mac.

    IT'S GOOD BUT ITS NOT QUAKE

    I have both a mac and a PC. The iMac looks better, crashes less and is 10x more reliable. The PC is more powerful and better for upgrading.

    My iMac got me (and 2 of my housemates at seperate times) out of some serious situations doing my degree when my PC crashed or died and a deadline was imminent.

    Both are good for different things, both are bad at different things.
