Mac look on my PC - Page 3

linux > windows > mac

Talking of which, this made me lol.

<Old and stolen from Urban Dictionary>

If Operating Systems Ran The Airlines...

UNIX Airways

Everyone brings one piece of the plane along when they come to the airport. They all go out on the runway and put the plane together piece by piece, arguing non-stop about what kind of plane they are supposed to be building.

Air DOS

Everybody pushes the airplane until it glides, then they jump on and let the plane coast until it hits the ground again. Then they push again, jump on again, and so on...

Mac Airlines

All the stewards, captains, baggage handlers, and ticket agents look and act exactly the same. Every time you ask questions about details, you are gently but firmly told that you don't need to know, don't want to know, and everything will be done for you without your ever having to know, so just shut up.

Windows Air

The terminal is pretty and colourful, with friendly stewards, easy baggage check and boarding, and a smooth take-off. After about 10 minutes in the air, the plane explodes with no warning whatsoever.

Windows NT Air

Just like Windows Air, but costs more, uses much bigger planes, and takes out all the other aircraft within a 40-mile radius when it explodes.

Windows XP Air

You turn up at the airport,which is under contract to only allow XP Air planes. All the aircraft are identical, brightly coloured and three times as big as they need to be. The signs are huge and all point the same way. Whichever way you go, someone pops up dressed in a cloak and pointed hat insisting you follow him. Your luggage and clothes are taken off you and replaced with an XP Air suit and suitcase identical to everyone around you as this is included in the exorbitant ticket cost. The aircraft will not take off until you have signed a contract. The inflight entertainment promised turns out to be the same Mickey Mouse cartoon repeated over and over again. You have to phone your travel agent before you can have a meal or drink. You are searched regularly throughout the flight. If you go to the toilet twice or more you get charged for a new ticket. No matter what destination you booked you will always end up crash landing at Whistler in Canada.

Linux Air

Disgruntled employees of all the other OS airlines decide to start their own airline. They build the planes, ticket counters, and pave the runways themselves. They charge a small fee to cover the cost of printing the ticket, but you can also download and print the ticket yourself.

When you board the plane, you are given a seat, four bolts, a wrench and a copy of the seat-HOWTO.html. Once settled, the fully adjustable seat is very comfortable, the plane leaves and arrives on time without a single problem, the in-flight meal is wonderful. You try to tell customers of the other airlines about the great trip, but all they can say is, "You had to do what with the seat?"

how so walter?
I don't understand how to use it and can get by fine. If you are using it like windows it's the same. If you actually want to use it properly it takes a bit.
I have been messing with it on and off for a while but since a couple of weeks I decided just to use it and have not needed to boot into windows. I think i shall soon though to add music to my mp3 player unless I get vmware and it does it. wine will be too much hassle to runn all the little programs it needs and drivers. the only thing I have not managed to do is get both monitors working. and my mouse but I worked out how to do that today and got all the buttons to work.

***semi*** · 05-04-2006, 10:40 AM

for a 56k modem? (winmodem?)

***semi*** · 05-04-2006, 10:42 AM

ah. I could never get internet because I couldn't work out how to use the drivers for my usb adsl modem. but since I got a router it has always worked automatically for any distro.

***semi*** · 05-04-2006, 10:46 AM

BT voyager 100. I don't really remember the name of the driver project.
edit: i think it was eciadsl.

***semi*** · 05-04-2006, 10:54 AM

nah I got the router because I also use muliple pcs and laptops and I guess it's giving hardware firewall and stuff too. I ditched the usb modem but still have it I think.
thanks anyway.
Any idea why I can never get dual head to work though?

AA-12 · 05-04-2006, 01:58 PM

I decided to order a MacBook Pro in a month or two. Can't wait :-)

***semi*** · 05-04-2006, 02:50 PM

My desktop is clean as a whistle now. Not a lonely widget in sight.

I've seen your desktop before, too. *yawns*

People are only stuck in this stupid mindset because it was once true that mac had more graphics editing software, but it's hardly been the case for a long time now.

Which is exactly why in every studio in the world use Macs? Uhuh, right.

I never said PCs didn't have the same programs. Adobe Suite comes for both & that's what they use in the professional realm. They also use Macs in the proffessional realm because that's what they are made to do. They come standard built with better graphics card, more memory and higher quality screens. Only problem is they cost too much. They are overpriced and under-advertised, but I'd like it to stay that way...

You can't really compare PCs to Mac... they can each to the same sort of things as each other, but one is made for one thing, the other is made for another thing...

***semi*** · 05-05-2006, 08:45 AM

well ME was poop but XP is not bad. I prefer the look of 98 though. xp is the eyesore. When I am on windows I make everything classic look but inverted colours. white on black and very simple.

umm there is no standard for pc though. You can get better graphics card as I'm sure they come out on pc first and they are cheaper than the ones made for macs. under-advertised?

Crapdragoon · 05-05-2006, 08:48 AM

I laugh at anyone that uses ME Its like the Kia of operating systems.
