Don't just know it, show it! Adobe has shown that PCs perform better than Macs. Of course, Apple is fighting back these claims, but lets face it... their "Switch" campaign was a failure, Power PC sucks, and they might be moving to Intel architecture.

:D:D:D:D:D

131323 2003-03-27 07:25:00 Hey Agent,

At least Apple don't use Telly Tubby Land as their standard desktop theme!

Wheres Po? (sal.neoburn.net)

131324 2003-03-27 08:59:00 It's more interesting than a single plain colour. And it's not always the default.

And if Apple calls it telly tubby land, they're also insulting Lycoris (or whatever the Linux distro that is like Windows is called).

Agent, Apple does somethings better than Windows and visaversa. I don't think you can say one is completely superior to the other. And I think Telly Tubby Land was supposed to be a joke. Not an insult

131326 2003-03-27 09:43:00 I also forgot the most important bit LOL...........

Why do you loath Macs ?

131327 2003-03-27 09:53:00 I'm a dedicated MS guy... (apart from Linux, that's ok). All competition sucks, IMHO (apart from Linux).

That may sound weird, me supporting Microsoft and Linux, but it's just the way the world goes round.

To be frank, I don't actually know the real, deep reason why I don't like Macs. But it's not because people claim Windows ripped many things off Mac.

131328 2003-03-27 10:01:00 And the few Mac computers I've tried were the really old versions. Drop-dead ugly. And I won't be trying OS X. The stability of XP suits me fine. And I like the layout of Windows. I wouldn't like the dock-tray thing from OS X. It's too screen-hungry, and isn't tucked away neatly by default (though I'm sure you can drag it around - right?).

Another reason? I know a Mac user who criticises everything about Windows. Right from the "boring beige, square case" to the "rip-off XP logon screen". I like beige. And if you don't like it, get a black one. Try some case modding. That'd make it look far better.

And while it is true that the new iMac looks rather a lot like a lamp... I don't care about a moveable screen, don't need one, and I'm more concerned with upgradibility (seeing as you can't really add much into that small, constricting semi-sphere).

And the "megahertz-myth"... I don't know the Apple side to it, so I'll stick with mine... a 3GHz Intel has a clockspeed faster than a 1.4GHz Power PC. I don't worry about pipeline stages and all that. This Mac user also says Intel has copied Apple by bringing it's number of pipeline stages down - so what? The whole industry copies each other in ways just like that.

131329 2003-03-27 10:03:00 The intellectual depth and rigour of agent's arguments reflect the fact that he comes from Auckland.

Well, my logic is just as valid as rubbishing another platform without a shred of evidence...

131331 2003-03-27 22:57:00 IMHO only press F1ers with experience of both PC’s and Macs are really qualified to make an educated comparison between the two.....but who cares?

My own experience? I own an iMac, I’ve never had to exterminate a virus, I’ve never had to post a question here involving a computer problem, and I’ve been earning my living with it for the past three years.
