If is wasn't for schools buying macs they would be out of business by now. 0 -
LOL - seen 300 yet? ... Macs made that movie look the way it did ...
exclusively. Macs have been/are the cutting edge machines in the
movie biz. ... oh, and about virus' ... well, I'll let the PC crowd
continue to play that little exclusive game! I'd give up my lead
spitters long before I'd give up my Macs - which, incidentally go
back to the 1983 vintage (Apple II).[:o)]0 -

Ten Reasons Why Macs suck
10) You can't use 5-1/4" floppy disks.
9) You can't go shopping with your friends for a Sound Blaster board because Macs don't need one.
8) Your 200 MHz 604e Mac does integer calculation equivalent to a 362 MHz Pentium Pro, but you can only brag about 200 MHz.
7) Networking a Mac is not an impressive feat.
6) Macs don't come in black, and we all know black cabinets make computers faster and louder.
5) You have to add a system extension to make Mac menus stay down like Windows. We like pokey menus because it's too hard to hold that heavy mouse button down while we read.
4) And the Mac mouse is too slow. We want our cursor to fly wildly off the screen when we twitch our wrist because hyper cursors make our PCs look faster.
3) You just plug Macs in and they work. Where's the challenge in that?
2) When you add stuff, you just plug them in and they work, too. Again, no challenge.
1) Your clients and teachers know about Numbers 2 and 3, so they expect Mac users to deliver results, not excuses!0 -
I'm hurt! Here are my 10 ~ from Apple to PC!
[:D]
1.) Duality. Windows Vista won't be blocked on Intel-based Apple hardware. This means you will (in theory) be able to purchase a Mac computer and run Windows on it, just as you would a regular ol' PC. At least, Apple won't stop folks from doing so. However, current AND future "Windows" machines will not be able to run OS X. That's a big win for Apple. It's upon this first point that the rest of my list is built.
2.) Style. Yes, you can trick out your PC with all sorts of neon cables and fancy case accoutrements - but there's something to be said about Apple's simplicity. No other PC manufacturer has come close to mass producing an elegant design that was equally as functional. It's the hardware, man.
3.) Fun. When was the last time you downloaded something new. And I don't mean a new registry cleaner. I mean something completely and utterly new - out of the box new. Something that you just hadn't seen before (either freeware or shareware). The old "there's no software for the Mac" argument hasn't held water for a couple of years now, overturning itself with the advent of OS X. You'll now have a safety net underneath you.
4.) Knowledge. Don't let platform bigotry get in the way of understanding and appreciating good technology. We all are better for knowing more, and that's something you should look forward to doing - not avoiding at all costs. Bury the hatchet if you think that this still is the Mac you first saw in 1984.
5.) Equality. Pretty much anything and everything you can do in Windows, you can now do on OS X. Not everything, mind you - but in knowing that a new Apple machine (with proper software, I'd assume) will allow you to boot into Windows, any kind of OS driver issues will be further minimized. There's always Microsoft's Virtual PC, too.
6.) Support. Think about it for a second: just how many millions (if not billions) of Windows PC hardware configurations are out there? Now, how many Apple hardware configurations are there? Believe me, thousands of Windows problems are rooted in the very hardware the OS itself is running atop. When there are a limited amount of possibilities that exist, you should find a solution quicker - or possibly know that no solution exists.
7.) Malaise. This market is full of it - PC manufacturers who knowingly make crappy systems, larger-than-life brands who can't deliver on their "help desk" promises, etc. To put it to you another way, I'm still struggling to find a computer builder who isn't gonna give me a raw deal for a system. I know what kind of hardware I want, but I also appreciate having a single warranty (four years, minimum). Forget about all the names you think are great - because they're not. They *ALL* suck, and it may be time that we consumers start telling `em to get their act together and give us an amazing experience. Not to say that Apple would be any better, but it's no worse than any existing PC alternative!
8.) iPod. Yes, it's overpriced. Yes, the ala carte pricing stinks compared to existing (and future) subscription models like Napster. However, it's also holding over 80% of the portable media player market! Car manufacturers, accessory crafters, and countless other services are springing up around a single device - and there's no such thing as an iPod killer, so get over it. If something isn't iPod compatible, it likely doesn't have longevity or enough market share to be worthwhile. You can use your iPod on Windows, but. it's sincerely not the same.
9.) Malware. Viruses, Spyware, et al - they're bad, and they're all over Windows. Even when Vista ships, it will still be vulnerable to the same software that has plagued previous and existing versions of the OS. If you don't want your parents to accidentally send a trojan out to everybody in their address book, don't buy `em software that might or might NOT work - have them run on OS X. It really sucks to say that, but Windows is still the tallest nail (and it will continue to get pounded as such). When you absolutely NEED your Windows software, it should only be a click away on the same machine.
10.) Change. When was the last time you were excited about using your computer? Something different is something good - and a new Microsoft operating system (the first one in half a decade) is not likely to do the trick. Are you bored with the way things work? Do you want your computing lifestyle to be interesting again? Consider something new, something completely new. and now for something completely different.
That covers some of the major points, I think![8D]0 -
I wouldnt mind trying out a mac. I have occasional problems with my pc.
EDIT-i also wouldnt mind trying out a mac-100 -

That is some good stuff there.
I am on my 3rd Mac and wouldn't go back for any reason.
I had a G3 400 laptop
3 years later I updated to a G4 1G Powerbook because I wanted needed more memory for video and wanted to burn DVD's.
3.5 years later I upgraded to my cool new Mac Book Pro C2D 2.16G 17". Man is this thing cool. I gave the GF my G4. The big reason for changing this time was that I droped the G4 and it has a broken screen hinge. It is now basicly a desktop.0 -
I've got three or four floating around here.
Just picked up a new IntelMac 17" Notebook
a few months ago - goes with me everywhere.
We have made a deal with Apple and the studio
will be pretty much exclusively Mac/Mac based
machines. We pretty much have instant
communication with everyone we have hired/
are jobbing out. All of the post production editing
folks are using them - few (if any) crashing using
the multi-array drives and barely any production
glitches. ... as close to perfect as you can get!
We were teleconferencing to Bangkok the other
night (their day) and the transmission/reception
was/is absolutely perfect, every time![8D]
... going to AK and Costa Rica this summer and
so is it!
... there are no PCs that can touch it -
especially in the multimedia arena.[:D]0 -
Computers are tools. PCs are superior, but, so what.
Apples leave no footprint in the dust of the computing world. I'd be surprised if the installed base of apple computers comprises more than 10 percent of all computers, worldwide.
The disadvantages of that are self-evident.
iPod ?? Ridiculously expensive teenagers' toy.

PCs and Macs do the same jobs equally well. Theres this myth that Macs are somehow "better" at multimedia, which is a total crock of BS. It all depends on what programs you have, not the type of computer. For example, Photoshop on a Mac produces the exact same images as Photoshop on a PC - theres not something inherent in Apple systems that make the images "better". As a matter of fact, most 3D animation (like Toy Story or Shrek) is produced on PCs because there are simply more programs for the PC.
Another myth is that web designers prefer Mac. I'm a web designer, and developing websites on a Mac is a royal pain in the ass. Since 90% of the world uses Internet Explorer, and since there is no Internet Explorer for Mac, its impossible to test your website on the browser that 90% of your visitors will be using.0 -
any of you ever build a mac?, or at leat tear one down?
guess whats inside?0 -
I think some you you need to catch up a bit.[:D]
