Shadowstar, not all the computers are 2000 dollars or more, and they arent based on windows! if anything windows was based off the mac! ( which i am not saying it is:P) And those cheap pc's that you can "pick up" arent as good as a 2000 dollar mac. I have yet to see a dual cpu pc

Hey mac's are the BMW of computers. You're going to pay a little more for them. And please dont say OS X is based on windows. My eyes almost imploded at reading that. :)

I haven't yet tested gaming on a mac so I don't have a judgement.

You call Max OS (which is based on UNIX) a Windows!?!?!?! :eek:

/me kicks ShadowStar

Even though I don't think macs ain't that pwnage, it still is UNIX so it can't suck.

okay ppl look.. the only real argument against a mac is the F**king price. They are great comps with incredible speed and durability and gameable. They are a hybird of windows and linux. But... they are also in 1300-2000 dollar range for a desktop. I could go pick up 2 pcs for that. one with windows and one with linux and i would have two machines comprable to the mac. Macs simply arent worth it unless you have 2000 to blow on anything u want. Which.. hopefully none of you really are that rich/dumb Macs are made for ppl who are too dumb/lazy to put toghether there own comp... They are nearly unconfigable they are what i call.. "the super expensive dell" :P so the bottem line. MACS ARENT WORTH THE MONEY and stupid ppl who hate os 10 can go suck my balls. THATS NOT AN ARUGMENT. IT IS WINDOWS BUT PRETTIER PPL! GET OVER IT *huff huff* go pc's (i am gettting a 2.4mhz gig intel ht proceser, awesome mother board/video card+ case + power supply for $400 ppl.. )

I might be misunderstanding you here, but if I read that right, then you're bragging about 50 FPS in JK2. 50 isn't very good... :)

Look at it from my perspective, In order for me to test the windows, linux or other os's I HAVE to go get a special computer, no wait I don't because I can emulate all of them. Apple RULES. By the way os X is based on Free BSD so it is unix only with a great GUI.

Oh, here's a thing I don't like about the macs: you can't test it. All (most) the other OSs, you can test them. Wanna see how a Linux is; you d/l it. Wanna see how Windows is; get a pirate copy of it (yeah that's what we do here :P :D). But Macintosh? You must get a special computer.

Recently I got a Mac emulation that works on FAT32. I'll check it out some time :) However I don't think it's a really recent v of mac :/

Linux pwnz :D

No my friend what is primitive is your windows machine which is a cheap imitation all along of the Apple OS. Refer to Xavier's earlier post regarding games, software and what other trash talk crap you can come up with. Plus, you can run any peecee software on mac all you need is virtual peecee and booyah so don't tell me there isn't anything for it. In addition most developers are coming around and taking part in the utopia known as os X. I come across more and more things that I find out for os X like gnucash, and team speak. Heck, even blizzard released a patch for Diablo 2 for os X.

Their software is just primitive. There are no real good things about them. No good games. What's with the having to go to "File" then "Quit" instead of just pressing the X (or the red button which is on Mac I beleive). I find it irritating and would rather spend those precious seconds carving up Academy members on the servers. :P

Macs don't ALL suck though. They're worth it if you're into Media type things.

I'm a Hard core Mac user ALL-THE-WAY! (I'm on a iMac right now)

We mac users take allot of crap from the PC users. Most of the time, all they can come up with is: Macs Suck! I could go on for awhile WHY they are better, but I don't feel like typing that much.
One thing I will say, I don't like the fact that they cost more, but trust me, your getting you money's worth (as long as you buy a newer one[the old ones{OS8 or earlier} DO suck] )
Also, if you don't like the mouse, you can just get any two button mouse as long as it's a USB 2.0, or you can just "option click"

Sup,

Everyone makes fun of the mac mouse far having only one button, but look there is only one button and cuzza still couldnt drag and drop files from a CD, I guess we need to make it, even easier, ZERO mouse buttons and while were at let throw that damn keyboard thing out now also, as long as you dont do something silly like get a MIC for voice to text software, you have solved all of your user error problems!

Review

Computer - mouse - keyboard - mic = 0 user errors.

Oh man this is genious its gonna save those tech support ppl so much time!

Generally you wouldn't want every bit of hardware out there to be Mac compatible. That's what makes OS X so smooth. It doesn't have to support the millions of devices out there like the Windows users. It's like a model T. "You can get any color you want, so long as it's black." :) FWIW I've yet to see a USB device that doesn't have some level of mac compatibility.

I think that was his pint when he said he couldn't just plug anything he wanted in. Hell, I'm waiting for that Windows Driver Expansion Microwave Slot. Then I'd never leave my computer!

I think that Macs are nice, haven't really used one to make real critic but generally I find them nice...

Only 1 thing is disturbing: the hardware thing; you don't just put any piece of hardware in it...
