| Originally posted by Siang Its not a bad OS at all, very very efficient. Its not as user-friendly as windows, but then again it doesnt apply to the same audience as windows. Its not for the average user, its for people who want to use a computer for editing, be it video/photo/audio whatever. Thats what they are built for, and thats the audience they are aimed for. If you want want an efficient OS, use linux then.[quote] Its actually faaaaar easier to learn than windows. Noobs can learn OS X in a day (yes, a DAY) where as windows with all that redundant shit thrown at you, makes it remarkably confusing to a new user. [quote] Glad to see you read the rest of my post. And no I dont remember the G4 cube, forgive me I must have misplaced my mac newsletter. |

| Originally posted by Nou I have used OSX tons of times, and everytime I use it, it boggles my mind why they would design certian things the way they did... the filesystem is shitty, the filebrowswers are crap.... the fact that it has to load an emulator to run OS9 or below apps... |
I have a ibook g4 and a ipod and both kick ass in my opinion. The ipod does everything its suposed to do and has alot more space then most other mp3 players, also it has my agenda on it and notes that i keep. It also one of the few mp3 players that is both mac and pc complatable. As for my ibook and it running osx, i feel that osx is a very secure os, its very stable annd though it may not be as easy to use for those that dont know how to use computers it makes up for it in its detail in other areas. Its like the difference between frutty loops and logic, Sure they both make music and fruitty loops will be alot easier to learn but logic in the long run has so much more you can do with it. Macs were designed for visual/audio artists and thus they are geared towards this area. As for there new stuff i beleive its shit, they are trying to become too mainstream and loseing what they are about; makeing quality equipment for the market the uses it. Anyways please dont bash macs for not being able to do what pcs can, there 2 differnt type of tools. If your looking for a good home computer thats easy to use get a pc, If your looking for something to make music/video projects with then get a mac, its simple as that.
Macs are for professionals most PCs are for the general computer illiterate mainstream person. Dell for example.

| Originally posted by Nou Ummm I know waaaaay more people that are computer illiterate that use macs... why do you think they bought mac's for our whole school district, thank god all my classes had PC's for the students... although they were shitty hewlett packards. Apple has always sold the Mac for the people that find windows, or PC's to confusing, look at the fuckin iMac, the whole promotional theme was how simple it was to get it going. |
It was not made for people who dont like PCs it was made for getting online. If you want the powerful line you have to look at the Power line, the Powerbook and the Power mac G5. And then you have the iBook for the laptop to do the basic things. Then you have the eMac *inteded initailly for basic educational use but sold publicly*

| Originally posted by CynepMeH There's no way you'd be able to run Logic (effectively) on this thing. Though, it'd be interesting... I'm sure there's a reason why G5 are selling well in a musician market. |
did anyone notice on the main page of that product the fine print? it says do not eat

| Originally posted by CynepMeH Whiff... whiff... what is it that I smell???? Ah, oh yes, a class-action lawsuit in the making. Sheet... if I was an MP3 player manufacturer, I'd be filing my anti-trust lawsuit paperwork just about now, citing "unfair trade practices", "market cornering", etc. Why??? From a consumer standpoint: I don't want to buy a fecking iPod to make it work with my car controls. I want my iRiver to work - unless they provide that option, that leaves me with the only choice - iPod. From manufacturer standpoint: Why would consumers shopping for mp3 player for their car purchase our product when we cannot be as seamlesly integrated into the car stereo system as iPod? Apple just painted a huge "bulls eye" marker on their back. And that's why I think the shares are down. Expect lawsuits by Creative, Samsung, iRiver, and others to start pouring in. again, apple blows. |
ipod shuffle, what a crap.

| Originally posted by kamil Mine runs for ever without needing a restart, there are macs from 2 years ago that havent been turned off. WINDOWS IS INNEFICIENT. Its crappy multi-hardware integration makes it fucken unstable. Theres a reason wht professionals use macs for design, film, music production, etc. Youd be surprised.  Yah, ill agree here, apple seems to think humans are only born with one finger. |
i don't get it.
is it a mp3 player? or a pc :S

| Originally posted by fr0st you obviosly have never used logic on a mac platform. Also you failed to notice me saying this gives them a chance to test the platform its self of course they cant run 100 waves plugins. But it is a fine machine to run logic on. Until recently i was doing all my production on a 800mhz powerbook with 1gb of ram... Do not make asumptions when you have no fucking clue what your talking about.... |

| Originally posted by CynepMeH Well... thanks, I guess... so much hostility and I don't believe I needed to resort to personal insults to make my point (or get under your skin). P.S. OH, and there goes your chance to buy that Jupe 6 from me, f-n tosser. EDIT: P.S.S. ...and to think I actually had some respect for you before... |

| Originally posted by Siang Wow, that arguement on how much apple blows is AMAZING! I see you did you research Mr.Non-Consumer. Please teach me in the ways of jumping on the band wagon like you. |

| Originally posted by fr0st Well I did not mean it in a hostal way and for that I am sorry. But blin iggnorance does bother me. As for the jupiter 6 that is fine with me its your decision there are about 20,000 others that in all fairness could very well be in the same condition as yours or better. So it is not my loss but rather yours because I would have enjoyed making a transaction with a fellow TA and also in hearing a A/B comparison of a jupiter 6/8. But as you have shown the true colour of your personality id rather not do any bussiness with you and i will happily take my $1000 elsewhere. |
and now I'll go and cry myself to sleep... That's if I'll be able to get any.

| Originally posted by CynepMeH Well.. let's see.. I started programming pascal on Apple IIe, prior to that I used Mac in camp entire summer (since I was 14, we're talking 1991). My highschool was all macs and I spent about 50% of my free time fixing them and working with them (Apple Classic series). I then moved to 386-equivalent line of Macs, then supported PowerPC, etc. etc. etc... Need I go on? Look, your apple wouldn't exist if Mr. Bill Gates didn't inject close to $500 mill when Mac was on its death bed. And what did loyal Mac users say??? No, it wasn't "thank you" - it was more Bill-bashing. Whatever. |
