| 521477 | 2007-02-03 15:26:00 | and all this talk of macs being "beautiful", and the latest fad the ipod and iphone: it kinda seems to me that anyone who makes the change is really just a sucker for marketing and peer pressure same for IE users: they (ok, 99% of them) use it because windows tells them to, rather than having a look around at other alternatives (and actually trying them) to find what they like best. |

Just remember the vast majority of Mac users I know have also owned Windows boxes at some stage so know both very well ~ the same cannot be said for the majority of Windows users. |

| 521479 | 2007-02-03 18:41:00 | i look at it this way: for me, mac is out of the question untill gaming is supported. in the mean time i have my xp pro working just fine, and spybot/adaware/avast all have a pretty uneventful life, even on limewire. i'm using linux on my new server, so will comment when i've got used to it vista is out of my price range, and why would i bother, really... who cares how pretty your mac is? it's whats on the inside that counts! my pc looks good in clear acrylic, glowing red, with two LCD displays. sure old PC's are ugly, but that's fashion: so are old macs historically macs were ****, but they have caught up. and last but not least: why do mac fanatics feel the need to convert others? why are they so insecure? or are they just showing their 'individuality'? My real point is that if everyone converted to macs, that's where the viruses will go, so in the interest of data-defence/self-preservation, why increase the chances someone will care enough to give mac a virus or two? and once everyone has converted to mac, you won't be able to brag about your mac any more 'cause everyone else has the same thing! (and Dell computers are NOT to be used for pricing as they are not real computers) Dells are not real computers? why is that they feel real, they look real. would you like your prices compared to what little 17 year old johnny can put together in there back yard. No I wouldn't expect many people on this forum to buy a mac and there is a few reasons 1) they still live at home with mummy and daddy and still like sniffing there older sisters knickers 2) Build and service computers for a living and they most probably still live with there mother lives on coke and fries and never see the light of day. 3) those forum members that probably don't have much time left before they meet there maker (you know who you are). Face it not all people use a forum like this when buying a computer. most of them buy from major retail outlets and for those people I recommend a mac |

Why do Mac users (who also happen to be PC owners) feel the need convert PC users into becoming Mac users? Because aside from gaming, when we sit back and read about all the of the endless networking/software/malware/formatting/3rd party video editing problems that you guys have - well you must do because that is 99% of what makes up this forum . Mac users don't suffer those problems and I have never heard a PC user talk passionately about the stuff that they can do on their computer apart from the enjoyment that they get from gaming . Everybody on this forum gets pissed of/annoyed/frustrated from hearing about how a Mac is the solution to every problem (apart from gaming) and then they tell us to go elsewhere when we get to be too much . Why? Because they don't believe that careful computing without frustration and the need for addtional antivirus/malware protection actually exists, they consider it to be "normal" . Why do Macs look the way they do compared to PCs? Because that was part of the DNA that Steve Jobs founded the company on . A home computer is supposed to be simple to use and aesthetically pleasing to look at both on the outside and on the inside, and, it should just work . Well since Steve's return to Apple in 1997 they do . The head of Industrial Design at Apple is a Brit by the name of Jonathan Ive DSO who is responsible for the design of everything Apple has put out since Steve signed off on the first gumdrop shaped G3 iMac . If everybody converted to Macs over the next 3-5 years or so, the amount of spam from botnets would drop dramatically . Why? Well that was pretty much answered earlier on a few posts back . |

| 521484 | 2007-02-03 21:31:00 | Sure, and I'll stick to my more capable, more powerful PC with its millions of choices with software and hardware. You guys stick to talking about peoples mothers and "cleaning up myths". What a joke, I would love to see Apple take a bigger market share, But not if it means more dribble from the "enlighntened". |

| 521485 | 2007-02-03 21:35:00 | Because aside from gaming, when we sit back and read about all the of the endless networking/software/malware/formatting/3rd party video editing problems that you guys have - well you must do because that is 99% of what makes up this forum. Funny, I never have that problem. I also do not believe that Macs are 100% bug free. Create a product that even an idiot can use, and only an idiot will use it And besides, when my rellies have problems and I fix them, I get shouted to a free lunch.:D |
