Macs are the most worthless computers on the planet. Who's bright idea was it to put the "eject" button on the keyboard, instead of on the cd-rom drive itself? Why the hell can't I download a .dmg (the equivelant of a zip file) containing an .exe file in it without the computer issuing me a warning? When I type in a password on a website, and the computer asks me if I want it to remember the pw and I click NEVER FOR THIS SITE, then why does the computer fill in my password for me the next time I begin to type it? Why does a Mac on a lan network change IPs automatically when that same IP is in use by another computer (instead of just telling you that there is an IP conflict), why do you have to go to the file menu to create a new folder, and why the bloody hell do you have to manually update the OS!?! Why does one need to install email software for every user account on a mac, and type in the user's password to update the antivirus software? Why can't you even change the name of the home directory without creating a new username!? I hate the limited toolbar on the bottom of the screen full of useless icons that bounce up and down while you use their respective programs. Why doesn't the default calendar update daily without you clicking on it!? What directory does Firefox go to when you install it on a mac (how come it doesn't go to the "Applications" folder like everything else automatically does!?) And moreover, why can't you choose the directory to install programs in?! If I'm copying files from one folder to another, and it runs into a corrupted file that it can't paste, the entire process stops and I have to manually delete the corrupted file from the original folder, then recopy and paste everything! Why doesn't it just ask me if I want to ignore the corrupted file and continue the process!? Whoever came up with this grand idea should be sentenced to copying folders containing thousands of files with 10% of them being corrupted. The only thing semi-decent about the mac is that the mouse plugs into the keyboard... then again, the mouse only has one clickable button! In light of these issues (and believe me I'm just scraping the surface), why do mac users glorify their systems, and openly wonder why everyone else on the planet doesn't just use a mac?!

Yeah, I'm not sure this is a debate topic... best case, this will just be a list of why people like or dislike Macs and PCs.

oh... well I was kinda expecting someone here to be a mac fan and come out and tell me why macs are the greatest and why they are superior to pc's in every way and why everyone on the planet should give up on happiness and just buy a mac... but I guess you guys all use pc's, huh? Good for you!!! ;D oh btw, I googled I HATE MACS just for the heck of it, and it looks like I'm not the only one.. some of these are funny! Things To Do With A Macintosh www.jsmagic.com/spam/uses.html1. Laugh at it. 2. Laugh at it some more. 3. Give it to aliens and then laugh at the aliens. 4. See how well it works in an oven. 5. See what happens to it after a five story drop. 6. Use it as a missile. 7. Taunt it with a Dell. 8. Put chewing gum in the CD-Rom Drive. 9. Leave it for someone else to use. 10. Humiliate it in front of other Macs. 11. Feed it to your dog (not to be mean to the dog). 12. Use it to scoop up your dog's poop. 13. Use it as a step ladder. 14. Use it as a plunger. 15. Give it to someone you hate. 16. Use it as a speed bump. 17. Use it as a replacement fish tank (not to be mean to the fish). 18. Use it as a shooting target. 19. Use it for explosives testing. 20. Use it as a trash can. 21. Sell it and buy a stick of gum.

I hate Macs too. Took them 25 years to figure out that were used too a 2 button mouse, and probably even a 3 or 4 button mouse.

I have a 5-button mouse with a scroll bar. I lurve it.
Macs and Windows both suck. Linux's only problem is that it can't support things.

So true. Though, with some, okay, alot, of modification, Mac OS wouldnt be that bad, and with a thousand^3120 bugs/glitches/stupid features removed, Windows would be great.

Anyone who is dumb enough NOT TO see that natural, god-given configuration of buttons & stuff on a single mouse is 3 buttons & a wheel should have his/hers head examined. We have an old MS mouse in the PC maintenance class and it only has 2 buttons words can't describe how annoyed I am every time I try to scroll, by habit, and then realize that there is NO WHEEL on it... grrrrrr... ...and if people who design peripherals for Mac are even more idiotic than THAT, they should just quit everything and promptly go to Taiwan to work for a minimum wage at NVidia's plants

I almost used a mac today. I'm a Windows user myself so it was kinda like trying to get directions from a person who speaks chinese when all you know is english.

I had a long post with lots of big words, then I realised most Mac users won't even understand those (since they chose Mac). I have to dumb it down, you see...

Just a reminder to everyone, no personal insults. Attacking Macs is one thing, attacking the users in general terms is a bit of a no-no.

They chose 'Mac' < short word over Windows > long word. I believe the full name (Macintosh) is about 30% longer than Windows

Windows isn't the greatest, but atleast I know how to use it somewhat so microsoft obviously accomplished something... It also allows more customization than osx... and when something goes wrong, you're able to fix it (or atleast you have more options than you have on a mac)... ..tried Linux but never got used to having multiple desktops. Computers should just go back to the good ol' days of dos and xtree, instead of following the user-friendly trend of making things more visual and colorful... black white and blue was good enough... what can word do that wordstar couldn't... lotus 123 had far more options than "excel"... and harvard graphics is the only image software you'll ever need... it even comes with a free picture of a Rhino ;D You hate Macs, I hate you.
