Yeah, true.

i prefer a more complex version! (hell i once had a mouth with 5 buttons!) |

I have a mac and I never crash under MacOS X 10.3. I had misc kernel panics under 10.1 and one or two under 10.2 but I would usually be doing several dozen things I should not have been at once and it was after oh probably a month of uptime.
I do not use a 1 button mouse. Like most mac users I went and bought a multibutton mouse with a scrollwheel (MS Intellimouse Optical in my case). The OS recognizes and supports the right button and the scroll wheel without any extra drivers. And how many of you PC users actually use the mouse that came with your computer? Probably not all that many. :toothless
My computer is getting close to being 4 years old and it still can run 95% of the applications available (other than games) very well. And all the OS updates are totally supportive of my machine. My last mac was 4 years old when I bought this one and it was still able to easily do what I needed.
I will be getting a PC laptop fairly soon because I need to run AutoCad and some PLC software which is windows only for work. Otherwise my next computer purchase would be a new mac.

i swing both ways
I really was no big fan off the early OS X's or anything before that.
when i ran OS 9 on my Mac which i used for video editing i found that it crashed more than my windows 98SE machine.
and there was no ctrl-alt-delete to fix things. you just get the program error with the bomb and your dead.
but the new OS X is nice.
i really want a mac G4 laptop
mmmmmmmmmmm *orgasms |

i really want an ibook with yellow dog linux installed on it
a friend of mine has one and it's so awesome to lie back on the bed with it and type away on the forums - they got the airport card to work and he has a wireless router...
mmmmmmmmmmm *orgasms |

| why choose? I use both. Mac is great for digital video editing, Windows has lots more software written for it and if something goes wrong I know enough about how it works to fix it. I dont like the way mac shelters the user from the complexity underneath, making it more difficult to fix and not as easy to customize to my liking. |

i'm a pc user, but i do like the innovative stuff that apple comes out with.
however i can't afford mac's too goddamn expensive and less customizable. |

I'm mostly playing games and have a limited budget. Then a PC is a lot better. But the Macs look so good! The (now old i guess) black G4 is just lovely! Same goes for the OS.
So with money I'd go for a mac. Just because it looks so good on the desk! :) |

I've got a 3 button mouse for my mac (well, two buttoms and a wheel) and macs are perfectly happy to accomodate them, it's just a system that doesn't require you to have a second button, your just a lazy ass if you don't like it but won't buy a different one |

i made the "switch" from to PC to Mac about a year ago...and i was skeptical and a saavy windoze user..but now you coudlnt pay me to get back on a PC, its so unstable and littered with problems, plus their next big update "longhorn" isnt expected to come out in years!!!! Mac has had 4 major updates in just 2 years!!
Mac seems to really be on top things. also im a graphic designer and all of my programs were designed to be ran on a mac os |
