I havent even bothered reading any posts. Mac are terrible computers.
Now that you can put windows on macs, they arent as bad, but the problem is they are overpriced, slow, inefficiant, noisy and they break very easy.
The mac I'm on right now was the only computer I've ever had a hardware problem with and we had to get it fixed by a proffessional.
Macs are computers for retarded people. Its what 30 year olds get so they can use the intarweb, because there windows is far too complicated for them.
The funny thing its this guy I know was telling me that the new mac OS is just a linux type program with a fancy GUI. So basicaly mac are charging us for a free OS (the linux one is free) and literaly limiting its potential so that it becomes retard friendly.
Good ol' mac.

I have a Mac and like it much more than a PC. I hate Mac hating threads because they are all the same. People's arguements against Macs are usually ridiculously stupid or they are from the old OS which no one uses anymore. It just pisses me off.

Peoples arguments agaisnt windows is "omg I gots teh virus, windowz is teh suxorz". FIRE WALL AND VIRUS PROTECTOR! Macs are designed to be good looking and user friendly. The first mac was designed that way and the new ones are that too, they are not good personal computers they are just for people who cant find there way around a decent OS. IMO anyway. Oh an there hardware is terrible...

Thanks, EC. The other thing people say about Windows is that it has craploads of bugs and is unstable.
90% of the time this is because the user did something inherently stupid. I've been using Windows since 3.1 (I have it somehwhere), also 95 and 98 and again 2k and I've only experienced 6 or 7 crashes.

my firewall problem was the only real system problem I've had I think all the other times my hard drive failed and destroyed itself for some reason....

I've been using Windows since 3.1 (I have it somehwhere), also 95 and 98 and again 2k and I've only experienced 6 or 7 crashes. Windows instability really ties in with viruses. I remember back when I had a pc, we could go 6 months of a perfect running computer before some how, we finaly picked up a virus, then it would start to crash. A simple visit to the symantec website would tell you how to get rid of it and all would be fixed. Then when my dad got a girlfriend and her daughter started using our pc, she was basicaly one of those stupid people who dont know what protection is. Within a few weeks to a month, our computer was so insanly fraked up that opening the start menu was impossible. It was at this point I realised its not windows that suck, its the users who are so stupid they dont not know how to evade even the simplest of viruses. Sure, they come around and you can pick them up, but there are hundreds of preventative methods, starting from as simple as not opening that spam email. I cant wait till mac gets as popular as PC and people start making viruses for them... I wanna see how bad mac take it.

Macs will never be as popular as PCs... and it wouldn't be too difficult to create a virus that would wipe every mac out there, considering they allow their users no access to system files (and thus no effective methods of troubleshooting)... I'm surprised noone's made one yet... Honestly, if part of your job was setting up macs for people who don't know how to use them (yet proudly proclaim that macs are the greatest and that everyone should use them over PCs), well... you'd be relatively pissed.

I hate Macs too... grew up using these Gawd awful Mac classics that died all the time, and ran only in black and white, and ugh... and then my parents bought one.

Oh dear God... [img src="http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/PowerRangerForum/Emoticons/ i20.photobucket.com/albums/b245/PowerRangerForum/Emoticons/rofl.gif"].gif[/IMG] That thing just might turn the tide for good ol' Mac. But, to be honest, world of USB accessories was just begging for such products. I presume that IBeads, with 7 vibrating modes, are next up. [alternatively, this post & link might be scraped from here & sent to the Adult section, to the great joy of VG ;D]

Oh an there hardware is terrible... Hmm... pretty sure that I can find my way around my OS just fine. And I have full access to my system files. Hardware is terrible? What? so why are they so great? this is a debate after all My argument is that I just don't like them as much. Why does everyone thing that there has to be one that's better than the other like it is a fact? Some people like different game genres, different music, so why can't which computer is better be based on personal preference?

Macs are limited, lower quality and have poorer performance based on cost than PCs. Thus, they suck.
The only thing macs are good at are multimedia editing. They are not a good home PC.
Oh and just about every version of mac pcs always have huge production scrueups that create common hardware errors. The fact that mac release products with known errors and faults shows their quality as a company.
Mac suck.

Maddox has posted a wonderful little ditty on macs that I think you should all read. Btw, only 2 people responded to my last topic? Only a few posts per day? What happened to this place? Get everyone back here! www.thebestpageintheuniverse.net/c.cgi?u=macs_cant

One thing I don't like is basically everything... but everything aside, I would probably classify myself as a fence-sitter. PC's have their faults, in fact all microsoft products do. My phone is programmed by microsoft, an iMate. Which is their way of cashing in on the iPhone market in AUS before it's officially released. Very clever. But, it crashes. My PHONE.. crashes. I have got the BLUE SCREEN OF DEATH, while on the train, talking to a friend. Weird much. My iPod, before it essentially bombed out, crashed twice. Both after I dropped it. And its subsequent demise was perhaps a result of me tossing it in the bottem of my bag for a year under heavy school books. Not smart. Whereas my phone is stapled to my belt, away from harm, and is rarely used in a violent fashion, like me waving it while yelling at a friend talking. My point is that Macintosh have been pioneers since the beginning, inventing the GUI, a standardised virus protection program (Norton anyone?) and several other innovations since stolen, or simply remarketed by other businesses, mainly Microsoft. But they have -all games. So in summation. I like macs. But I use PC's.
