Apple Computer

[CardiffBaseball]

I won’t buy Apple. I do a ton of video and gif editing, and all of the free software in windows is just too tempting. I also like to save movies in compressed avi format so I can stream them to my modded Xbox in the living room (no digital here). That requires a bunch of software that I am not sure is available on the mac.

I am just too cheap to buy a Mac but I have heard really good things about Ubuntu.

Also I won an Ipod nano at some industry event and I hated the damn thing because I hate iTunes. I just want to drag and drop my damn mp3 files. So I gave the nano to my son. He of course doesn’t mind itunes and uses the hell out of that thing.

I just wanted to say that now that Macs run on Intel chips you can dual install Windows on the machine. If you don’t like booting up a seperate OS, then there are now amazing programs that let you run Windows without restarting the computer. From what I heard it’s nearly flawless. If I was to ever buy a fully built computer, it would be a Mac. With that said, I enjoy building a computer and it’s certainly been much cheaper for me. Mainly because it can be upgraded a bit more piecemeal, so I don’t pay for replacement software and components that I don’t need.

Macs are NOT the best. I agree that a MAC is a powerful computer and the GUI/OS experence is exceptional, but they give you little hardware flexibility and their products tend to be close to double the expense of a PC. All things considered the BEST computer available is a PC running LINUX. Cheap and excellent.

I swear that the plastic they wrap Macs in must contain some kind of intoxicant. What a cult!

I use and work with Windows and Mac boxes every day and I can tell they _both_ have their issues, but at the end of the day, I run into the least dead ends with Windows stuff. In the same way it’s the target of hackers and like, it also gets the most attention of software and hardware manufacturers.

…and suggesting that people use Linux as an everyday desktop is just loco. Sure it’s fun and if you’re an enthusiast or need to run a website, good for you, you’ve done fine, but for the average college student, business person, and, well, pretty much anyone else, nope.
