If you are so fed up with getting errors and viruses in windows, then switch. I hate macs because the users feel they are better than us (windows users) because they have a more stable OS and don't have to worry about viruses. And the reason why macs don't get viruses is not because it is more secure, It's because no one cares to make one. The only thing macs are good for is editing images and videos. And you can still do those things with windows. So really it is windows that is superior because , "Everythign works with windows!"

I don't hate macs, I hate the cunts who say 'Get a Mac' when you post a thread asking for help with a technical problem (On any forums not just NG). If I wanted a fucking mac I'd ask you the way to the apple shop

Guys. The new macs can run windows too.

So, why do you hate them again? Because nothing runs on them? Wait a second, but on the new macs you can run windows too. really no reason to get a PC if you can afford a mac.

Yeah, I have a Macbook Pro. I just can't be bothered to install windows on it.

If I had the money to buy one, I would, seeing as the only games that I play are Warcraft III and World of Warcraft. So I am all set in that department. But I also think I would have trouble adapting to the OS.

Yepp macs are the best I got an iMac G5 (not on it now, sorry about that). But I just love it, not one error yet, NO VIRUSES (thats a biggy, I am a file whore). More space, games are becoming more applicable (companys making mac versions) good software, more user friendly. But yes its not as good for games, but I am not a huge gamer anyway!

Macs are great if you want to eatheir just use as a home computer or if you want too Program and Design. But it lacks a lot of programs windows uses and also from what I heard sucks at running some games.

You're on a packed server, most of those use OS 9, or at best a very secure OS X that can't be used well because of the fact that YOU'RE AT SCHOOL.

Let me tell you a story of a mac..tis was a long time ago whilst I still went to school (2-3 years)
and in cafeteria there was a mac...of the sligthly older kind...the kind that gave itself error messages even when nobody had touched it for days it still cried out its complaints and the funny thing is that it the error message was a ducks quack..only ten times louder...it happened about ten times a day...pretty funny actually...imagine your playing cards and then there is QUACK QUACK QUACK!!!

About macs in general....they do suck because pc's at least let you save your shit if your working a program if you press the power button once...macs just shut down the programs and you have to redo all the work

Part of the problem is that some people don't like buying a machine that they cannot easily enhance, that is kind of expensive, while still buying a copy of Windows.*

I don't mind Macs. I just prefer PCs, that is all. I've had many bad experiences with Macs, such as typing up large essays, papers, and articles, only to lose them for no reason due to some stupid error that sometimes leads to being forced to restart. To tell you the truth, that's never happened on a PC for me.

That was a school iMac, though. Hmm.

I'd have my eyes set on a Mac Laptop, easily, though I'd still have eyes set on laptops made by other companies. Mac laptops are awesome, looknice, and are very powerful from what I've seen (and used) and are thus worth the money. My cousin's laptop has been very reliable for him.

*for those that bought a pre-made PC in the first place

Why would you press the power button if you want to save your work? Looks like you need some computer training.

Oh man... The list goes on.

1. Shitty Processor

2. NO RIGHT CLICK

3. Not easy to access files and folders.

4. Took me an hour to learn how to open the disk drive. FFS, put a button near the drive, would you!?

5. Poor compatibility

And come on, Viruses, dude? STOP DOWNLOADING FETISH PORN!

Because when the system locks up and you cant save normally, usally pressing the power button without holding it down forces the program to shut down but it has to ask you to save before it can do it...so that way you can save your files....

I've been using macs for years and the ver ver rarely freeze or lock up. I don't know why it should for you.
