673849 2008-05-30 07:16:00 Its a standard security software update from Apple. I downloaded it last night. No one ever said that OS X doesn't need or get security updates and OS updates. The update 10.5.3 was also released on the 28th May. vitalstatistix (9182)
673850 2008-05-30 07:31:00 I was in Dick Smiths last weekend looking at a new notebook when I was hassled by a sales assistant who said I should buy a mac. Was quite insistent about it, even though she knew i wasn't interested in one.

I ended up telling her to shove it and walking out the door.

That is one sale DSE will not get from me, regardless of what price they have.

Bl***y mac fangirls.

I've seen the same thing happen with PC laptops and "sales people" - they all want you to buy so they can get their commission although she was obviously not that good a sales person in the fact that she pissed you off and probably lost a customer in the process. Sometimes a better sales person will know when to stop pushing and let you go so that they can move on to the next customer.

673852 2008-05-30 09:51:00 You got it VS - it was not the fact it was a mac, but her attitude that I was a fool that couldn't survive without her wisdom.

Ken :banana

PS she could also have made a correct assumptiom :clap

There is actually or should be a difference between a PC sales person and a Mac sales person - With PC sales there is a lot more requirement to go through the machine specs, price, add ons, discounts, what is the next model, graphics cards etc which requires more of a hard sell.

The best way to sell a Mac in store is to let it sell itself - if the person doesn't want it - don't waste your time on them unless they are a student or have friends who have Macs.

673855 2008-05-30 23:02:00 I have used macs at polytech while a student and I am not a fanboy, I like building my own machines to my own specs and budget and to upgrade them as I and not someone else sees fit, so will be staying with my computers and keeping XP until I have to upgrade them will be going linux as already playing with ubuntu on a spare machine.

I just get annoyed when mac fans keeping pressing the "How safe they are and they don't get bugs"

Not really - I have seen it happen on many occasions.

Bugs would depend more on the system version - 10.5.versions 1 & 2 have had the "normal" amount of system bugs for a version release as did 10.4.1&2 Theoretically x.3 should be correcting most of those, corrupted files on apps are more common and more annoying.

It really depends on who makes the software rather than the operating system it is running on. What there aren't are hundreds of viruses. ;) maccrazy (6741)
