Mac look on my PC - Page 2

05-03-2006, 02:45 PM

Every Mac I've ever had the displeasure of using runs like a steaming, newly deposited turd :/

With me it's the total opposite.

If you were to get a Mac, get one of the new Intel based machines. They run XP now aswell. Best of both worlds.

I'm not trying to start a PC vs Mac war here, but I really dont see why people say that Macs are so much better than PC's. I've been using PC's for years and recently had to babysit my little cousin and his family has a Mac. I dinked around on it for a few hours and came to a conclusion that its nothing special at all.

The only times I've really truly had trouble with PC's is when there was a computer that my whole family shared. Ever since I built my own PC I hadn't had any major problems or annoyances.

If this is what you kind of have in mind, yahoo widgets is a great free place to start. So far as the theme itself I use StyleXP along with the items I get for it from ThemeXP. Although these aren't Apple/Mac themes. $20 to buy StyleXP, free to try. $10 for 1000 downloads from ThemeXP to work with StyleXP. And while it's not free, neither are the others in the versions you would need to completely trick your OS out visually:

For me, it's not one is better than the other. They are built for different purposes. PCs are built for general home use, office work (administration, data entry, etc) and programing - Macs are built for graphics. Without a doubt, every Graphic Design studio will be filled with Macs for the designers. As will any movie editing studio. They are each better than the other in different areas. People always start flaming whenever Macs are mentioned because the people who do it generaly have very little experience in using Macs. They maybe used them once or twice to see what they were like, and decided to stick to Windows. Which is fine because the things they will be doing with it will just be general computer use. I only really suggest a Mac to anyone who will be doing any form of design work, be it for screen, print, movie or whatever.
Having been using a Mac for a while now, I get really annoyed at PCs because they work differently to a Mac - it's the same for those who use PCs - they get annoyed at Macs because they work differently, they're not used to it, and end up "hating" Macs and their users, simply because they didn't take the time to use them properly and get used to them.

Each do their own, but I hate OS wars... I prefer OS X, but I do graphics. If I was a programer I wouldn't think of buying a Mac.

That went for a bit longer than I expected...

But Macs can run Windows now, as you well know. Couple that with the intel chips and it's like having the best of both worlds. Bastards....

Leukeh · 05-04-2006, 07:43 AM

I actually heard that they Intel chips weren't doing to well... but it was from someone on here I think, so they don't exactly count as a reliable source...

My Mac is the model before the intel chips were put in... wouldn't mind one, but it runs perfectly fine without it!

Well, alot of their laptops are having overheating issues, because Apple didn't properly test them to the full extent. They are replacing them though. That's what happens when you are an early adopter of stuff like that. There are bound to be glitches.

Why anyone would want their desktop to look that disgustingly lame is beyond me.

so he can enjoy the timewarp it creates in his system memory and then bitch about windows being stupidly lame and slow?
