just leave it dude.. i figured out with the MANY Pc vs Mac threads.. people really put up a fuss about it .. its a matter of personal preference and i could care less what some people think.. i like the look of apple products and the interface and i personally just PREFER to use OSX .. always have .. and i got used to it .. if im brainwashed.. cool! lol

People will always hate on other people that are more successful then they are.. look how everyone suddenly hates rogers for some reason.

And yea i just got a hp tablet pc laptop thingy.. for one purpose lol. cuz the server client that i use to monitor panels and accounts for work will not work in osx.. other then that i just prefer using osx .. personally .

I quite like it when Apple zealots tout their "superior quality hardware."

im never buying an apple laptop again, or any apple product for that matter, shit build quality, for top dollar.

HOW THE FUCK DO RAM MODULE CONTACTS GET CORRODED ?!?!?!?!

Then, I blew out the candle.

gee, how did I know that this thread would degenerate into a "PC vs. Apple" argument, lol.

so predictable

I think it has something to do with how shit their service is...

What absolute, total crap. Of the items on this list that are actually real problems, as opposed to ones that you created for yourself or simply imagined, only one of them has any connection to PCs/Windows. That's the file security "issue", which exists for an extremely good reason, and takes all of 30 seconds for you to "fix" when you're the local Administrator with physical access to the disk.

Originally posted by Cosmic Fur Just wondering, what is it that you fight with your Windows about?

Ok, maybe 'fight' was too strong a word. It's more like the little things. I just feel my workflow is much smoother on OSX; little things like expose and how the computer handles file managements. For example, I can move, copy, delete, or do just about anything i want on OSX while a certain file is open. The link is maintained. On XP, an app would hog the priveleges to a file and not let me move, copy, etc.

Often it takes 2 clicks to do something in OSX that needs 5 in XP. I don't hate Windows, I just prefer OSX. I use both daily.


And Rogers is garbage, and evil. Especially their cell network with its ridiculous data charges. We need competition up here; good thing T-Mobile is coming up in 2009.

oh, BTW I don't care if it costs more...I love my iMac/iPhone/iPod etc. I'm a girl and yes they do look pretty.

If I can pay over a thousand for a purse (much like a lot of girls) paying a premium for a cute computer is worth it.

lol what advantages exactly? You pay quite a bit more for a more sleek-looking interface with no real operating functional advantages, and fairly lackluster hardware.
