1126812	2010-08-16 21:08:00	Back on subject: I am told that lots of graphics user prefer Macs,because they have superior graphics,is this so? ? The question is,do they have some advantages.? If your after speed advantages you might want to look at this (www.pcworld.com l) and this (www.youtube.com).	icow (15313)

1126815	2010-08-20 06:24:00	Simply put for me it's the cost if I could get a mac for what I can build a windows PC I would think about having a mac, and if I could put whatever I want on to or into it apart from what Mr Jobs thinks I should have (I use a lot of open source software) I would think about it. But since he can't or won't let me nor will he lower the price I will not get one.	gary67 (56)

But that is precisely whey macs just 'work' - because a mac is a mac is a mac; they all have the same hardware specification (save for different cpu/graphics and ram and size of hdd). They aren't like computers where each one can have a different sound chip (by different manufacturers) where the drivers conflict because the network card uses the same irq but the drivers aren't written properly which causes problems etc etc. If you think about the almost infinite different hardware configurations that windows runs largely flawlessly on, its a wonder it works at all... Microsoft actually do make a computer that just works and is locked down like a mac, its called an xbox.	utopian201 (6245)

If you think about the almost infinite different hardware configurations that windows runs largely flawlessly on, its a wonder it works at all.. I think about that sometimes too. For all the different hardware and software configurations that Windows (and Linux for that matter) has to cope with, they both manage it pretty damn well actually. Usually the problems come from the drivers being useless, rather than Windows itself.	Agent_24 (57)
