Macintosh Computers suck

WHAT THE FUCK??

Mario your an idiot. Microsoft dont make computers they make a shithouse OS! Apples are far superior. Your probably just to retarded to use one. The only thing that stops me from owning one is the $$$$. They are hell expensive for a good one in OZ.

[Anonymous]

actually, they suck, and I was just mocking the retard.

[Blue]

They dont suck.

I hate apples because the mouse only has one button on it. I need to right click man!! I'm Freakkin out!!! AAH~!

[Perndog]

They make two-button mice for Macs, and I think (correct me please) you can connect a regular USB mouse to them. My roommate uses a two-button trackball, and the right click works the same as a Windows right click.

i OSX. pc just has more software i use.

I think macs are very lacking compared to PC's, but when it comes down to it, computers are just tools. Use whichever one gets the job done well for you. The PC vs. MAC wars are stupid as shit anyway, much like the first post in this thread.

Macs smoke long cocks.

I had to use them all the time in high school in my graphic arts courses, and they constantly were running out of memory for even the simplest Photoshop filters, and there's no reason for that with 64MB.

Macs are also super slow (even my old P2-233 ran faster than half the new Macs) and uber-expensive. Who wants to pay $4000 for a Mac when you can get a faster PC with a hard drive 10x bigger for 1/3 of that?

[Perndog]

I agree with Chimp about the price issue, though maybe not about the power... The G5 is currently being touted as the fastest PC on the market (MACS ARE PCS! PC, PERSONAL COMPUTER, THINK ABOUT IT!), but they cost far more than Windows-based systems. Per the buck, you will get far more power and, more importantly, customizability out of a Windows machine.

I built my own computer with $1000 that has a 1.66 GHz CPU, 512M of memory, and a near-top-end graphics card. That was a year ago, and prices have dropped since then. On the Mac side, a $1000 eMac is has a 1GHz processor and 128M memory, and you can't find an iMac or a Power Mac for less than $1300. Even with the faster frontside bus, which offsets clock speed somewhat, Macs don't have the same power in the same price range.

Therefore, Macs suck because they're expensive. I will not pay an extra $300 for a computer just because OS-X is better than Windows (yes, it is).

I once had a Mac....but I only had it for a month. Slow as hell.

OSX is a piece of shit (it's not even MacOS anymore, it's Unix) and the "Macs really are faster" is a lie. Photoshop 7 loads in 3 seconds flat on my 1.33GHz AMD. I can only imagine how much faster it would be on a new 3GHz P4.

I have never encountered a Mac that worked that fast, even their new G5s.

The only thing that Macs have going for them right now are those widescreen LCD monitors. But, since they don't actually contain any computer, I guess that's what makes them kinda good. :P

Have you ever used OSX? It's fucking beautiful. I'll admit Macs are overpriced and lack seriously in software - which is why I'd never buy one - but anybody who says OSX is a piece of shit either never used it, is lying, or is a M$ fanboy. The Macs being faster argument is dead. It could hold water a few years ago, but with the speed of current PCs it is no longer an issue.

[AChimp]

OSX is shit. I have used it. I helped install it on a bunch of computers at my old high school.

OSX

[Anonymous]

So what is better? WinXP?

[AChimp]

Even DOS is better than OSX.

[Anonymous]

You're sounding like a fanboy. What exactly is 'shit' about MacOS and what is better about Windows?

[AChimp]

Well, for one, the fact that you're defending OSX makes it shitty.

[Command Prompt]

MACS ARE ONLY GOOD FOR GRAPHIC DESIGN BECAUSE THEY HAVE A BROADER COLOR DEPTH AND SPECTRUM AND THE FILTERS INTERLACE BETTER WITH THE GRAPHICS.

OR SO I WAS TOLD

WHO GIVES A FUCK ANYWAY EVERY SHUT UP AND TALK ABOUT METAL GEAR 3 OR SOMETHING ALREADY

Cop out.

And C you're not Jixby Phillips.

I favor PCs over MACs personally, although I'd have to admit I've never owned a MAC, but have a lot of experience with people who have.

MACs aren't necessarily faster. I would disagree here. It's all in relative timescales. Since the G5 came out with their 64 bits, PCs are going to be as fast and beyond that in the coming months. Regarding loading times for programs and such, it makes no difference to me, as they're only seconds in difference.

I would argue that MACs are easier to use. Everything on the OS is Apple. With PCs, there are a million different companies involvedi in executing a program. With MACs, everything is done through Apple. So one would most likely experience a lot less techincal problems with the MAC, as well as MACs being easier used. Most, if not all MACs now come with programs like iDVD, iPhoto, and such. From hearsay, these are very easy to use. But, these actions could also be accomplished on a PC through other programs. It's just that with MACs, they might be more "user-friendly".

I've heard that in some professions, like designing and graphic arts, MACs are much better performance-wise.

But, compatibility is a big problem for MACs. With everyone using programs that are either hard to run, extensively slow, or don't exist on MACs, the MAC user might have to be a bit more creative in working around such problems.

I never understood the 'Macs have more colors' argument. Is there like, some sort of magic fifth color channel (assuming you're going by CMYK) that only a macintosh can tap into?

[Anonymous]

i personally dont like mac because my school bought imacs and my windows 3.1 ran faster they take 5 minutes to load up internet explorer

[imported_Wicked Steve]

Computer monitors are RGB, light uses additive colors. CMYK (subtractive colors) is for printing, though it can be emulated with programs like Photoshop. But you're right, a monitor is a monitor, "Macs have more colors" is bullshit.
