im making it a campaign: The Apple Genocide Campaign

I agree with you, 3 years ago. I actually have alot of different mouses and 3rd party devices made by other companies and I never have problems with getting hardware to work, almost all of it is OSX compatible now. As for the games, ya we get a little screwed but most of the good ones come out, and I've done so much PC gaming that I play on consoles now, gets me away from this stupid computer. And this OS is stable as hell under any CPU load, it's rare that I crash or restart.

For my audio stuff I need firewire because USB 2 isn't fast enough, the devices that run on USB2.0 suffer with track count and sampling frequncy limits. On my PC I had to buy a firwire card so I could run my audio gear properley.

Melo out man, if you don't like them that's OK. Most advertising scemes suck anyway, it's just a tool to get work done.

.MOV. Why can't this be an open standard, like every other video format (except RealVideo)? Now I have to install frikking QuickTime for that single MOV file I want to see each year.

WMV anyone? Requires WMP.

iPod. Just because everyone has one and they're so expensive. And butt-ugly IMO.

Don't criticise something you haven't tried.

And their website just made my browser crash, meaning I had to re-type this entire post. That doesn't help

Still on IE? Their site's fine.

Winamp does a perfect job on WMV files, and plenty of other players do. No problem there.

Firefox. And the Apple website made it crash several times today.

lol, I think it's apple who have something against you, I never have any trouble with it and my computer crashes if I look at it in a way it doesnt like!

I've been trying to tempt myself away from taking advantage of the mac prices through my uni before I graduate

Can't get Winamp for macs, so what am I supposed to play WMVs back on? Oh yah....VLC.

I've had no issues with the Apple site on either platform.

Yeah I know, it's probably some Firefox plugin. It crashes on other sites, too. It's just, if the Apple websites makes it crash while I've been typing a huge Apple-rant and I have to re-type that whole thing.... well you get the point.

Macs are inferior to PCs. PCs all benchmark higher in everything (even graphic design), and are more compatible overall with everything. Like Biert said, they strive to be different. In the computer world, different is bad.

I wouldnt call my computer the most stable piece of equipment, but my computer hasnt locked up or froze in a little over a week, and I run like 10 open firefox windows, the unstable AOL IM, winamp, and rip and burn cds all the time. I would consider this good enough for me. Mac's OSs arent the most stable either. Nobody cares about Linux though

iPods are horribly overrated. They cost like $400 and have crap battery life. And you cant carry batteries with you cause they are recharchable. And they are really not durable, becauase I have a friend who broke 2 of them in a short period of time. Granted he got a new one sent to him, but thats not the point. Ill stick with my little mp3 player, I dont need no hard drive player.

Macs are inferior to PCs.

Dude that's a pretty bold statement, I know this is going to turn into another usless mac vs PC debate it's always bound to happen, but I'm telling ya as hard core PC gaming guy and former mac hater, that statment isn't true, my G5 is so stable it's crazy, I never lose work.

The fact is a computer is just a tool, nothing more, nothing less. Choose the one that fits you best, if you don't like a certain tool, don't use it.

like trousers!

perfect.

Oh the irony! It was the QuickTime plugin that made my browser crash!

I wouldn't say Macs are inferior to PCs. They are definately more stable, and for speed they're pretty equal I guess. Especially if Intel is going to supply Mac CPUs. So the inferiority would come down to the availability of software and hardware. On that point, PCs win.

I agree with you on the software, but they are closing the gap, which is nice, Games will always lag I think (but like I said I'm getting back to console games, got my eye on that xBox 360, but don't know if I should wait till PS3....) The hardware I feel is pretty good, I don't often run into a problem with that.

On another note, if they let us boot into Windows with the new Intel chip macs, I'd do it for the games.

This Powerbook hasn't crashed since I bought it....it's 2 years old in March. It's my primary machine for site coding, heavy graphics work, DV editing, rendering and encoding, 3D modelling and rendering. Of course i've maxed the RAM out to 2GB.....
