That there is the problem. I am a huge fan of plug and play. Not tinker, modify and download before I play.

I have worked with a mac, I was not impressed. In all honesty is is only crash proof because there is no software made for it that could crash it.

I also loved the Mac Vs PC commercial that Apple complained about Microsoft spending money on advertising, after spending billions first on their own advertising

I simply hate Macs because all the Mac users think that they have little magical elves running around inside their computer making it better than the piles of turd sitting inside PCs. They epic failz at realizing PCs and Macs have the exact same damn hardware (Core 2s, Nvidia GPUs, DDR2/3 RAM, etc...), it's basically just an OS difference.

Oh, I'd like to close by using a few excerpts from an inappropriate webpage,

If everything on a Mac just works, then why does a website called "Mac fix it" exist, a*******? Here are a few choice topics on macfixitforums.com:

-Login window stuck!
-lower caSe "S" key not working!!
-Menu bar keeps flashing
-I can't drag and drop!

Stupid user base aside, I will never own a Mac. It's not so much that I'm a PC loyalist. I'm not. It's that I'm not stylish enough to own one. Most iPod commercials feature guys with long hair, chicks roller skating, and guys wearing fedoras. I have dandruff, and I buy most of my jeans from a grocery store. I feel like in order to have a Mac, I need to be:

# An artist.
# In a band.
# Unemployed (see above).

This section was supposed to be longer, but I couldn't even install iTunes so I could bitch about it. Not that I could have used it for what I wanted to anyway:

I'd also like to draw your attention to this piece of epic win.

And for all the claims that a true musician uses a Mac, well I was in a band and looked into a mac system it it was going to cost almost $5,000 to be able to multichannel record. For that much it better be the best, until I found I could get a firewire band mixer (a normal band mixer with built in digital sound card so that it can record 24 tracks at once) for $350 and $100 for the program to record with. The Mac system that I was looking at could only do 8 channels at once

Now this is an interesting thing to hear. I always hear that if you are into

A. Art
B. Music
C. Video

Then, a mac was definitely for you. PC was not hip, unstable and lacked the artsy part. Now, I am starting to hear that even artistic types can't stand the machines?

I swear the iphone and the ipod are all that Apple has going for them.

Its kinda funny really because to me, the only benefit to using a Mac over a Windows machin is Final Cut and ever studio's like Premier and Vegas DVD are practically just as good :) That aside its easier to upgrade, its easier to maintenance , its easier to do a lot of stuff on a Windows machine



The think I am really missing though....since its Mac vs. PC. Are Mac's not personal computers or something? Are the like only able to be used by more than one person at a time? Do you have to have 2 or more people logged into the same Mac and using it as the same time? I mean.... wtf?

I believe the proper terminology is Mac vs Windows

Or, even more correctly, "Mac OS" vs "Windows" since that's what they actually name it. Almost as exciting a name as OS/2 was.
