Yes, it is a bit like broadband users who download 100GB a month just because they can - not because they need to.
Safari (3993)

346852 2005-04-20 05:15:00 I can upgrade most things on my mac myself without to much hassle plod (107)
346853 2005-04-20 06:33:00 Can you get any generic component (excluding HD and RAM- every computer can take those), put it ina MAC and expect it to work? I'm thinking DVD burners, processors, video cards sound cards etc Edward (31)
346854 2005-04-20 07:09:00 dvd burners yes,video cards yes processors no, but that is the same on the pc side isn't it?intel wont fit onto amd motherboard and vice versa
mac sre very fussy on the ram they take, but i use crucial

346855 2005-04-20 08:25:00 So intel won't work in AMD boards, but mac processors won't fit in anything ;)

As for the DVD burner, can you name any DVD burner other than the apple offical one that you could install?

No its like cars. Some people think everyone should drive around in a Citreon 2CV but some of us prefer a '32 Ford Coupe with the custom paint job, mags, lowered, chopped, and the 350 chevvy in it.

346857 2005-04-20 09:24:00 Anyway just look at the silly title of this thread. Reverse it - what can apple learn? How to sell billions of PCs instead of a few thousand. That says it all. pctek (84)
346858 2005-04-20 09:39:00 edward please suggest a brand of dvd burner and i will check if it is mac compatible?There two different aftermarket brand proceesors that will work on a mac, but you are right they will not work on all plod (107)

I think what made PCs dominant was the venture between MS and the IBM clone. Bill Gate's prorities for OSs are...

1. Dominate the OS market ASAP.
2. Fix the bugs later.
3. Get the next going enough for 1.
