I don't want to switch to Mac

[Waus]

...but dammit. I think I need to. :mad:

[ScarySquirrel]

Why do you think you need to?

[jabumbo]

I'm a PC, and I do everything that you need.

[Waus]

They use all macs at work, and I was messing with some stuff in quicktime and my PC at home just would not burn DVDs or let me edit the footage. I think it had to do with variable framrates mac programs sometimes export, but honestly - the mac platform is just streamlined for burning DVDs and working with quicktime video. It's like an uphill battle trying to accomplish anything cross-platform on my PC.

Not to mention the new macbooks are more reliable than any Dell I could get now. Sigh, I've been a PC stalwart, but I think I need to switch whenever I can afford it. No way I'm getting rid of all my PC stuff though, I love winamp and windows XP's file explorer system too much. Screw Finder.

Just use a Unix platform on the PC. Emulate Winblows.

Linux is the future. However if work are gonna buy you a Mac, I wouldn't say no - I wouldn't ever use it for anything serious but I wouldn't say no.

[Loppfessor]

What windows OS are you running? Is it the 64bit version?

[Randetica]

mac is so much better and less annoying

wish those bastards wouldnt be so damn expensive

[Nygel]

once you have a mac you don't look back®

Really, my old PC could smoke a Mac in terms of productivity and ease of use a few years ago. Not that the whored out desktop at my uni was in the best condition. I vividly remember the constant and excruciatingly random freezing during any rendering processes, most likely due to moron usage.

Using Vista, now, and having been around a Power Mac G5 I'm entertaining the idea of owning one. Expensive, though... Plus I like my toys. *cough*winampandemulators*cough*

I was working on my project for this robot design I have been doing september, its a 3D class so, I had to reshape basic shapes into something well... You get the idea - hopefully. Anyways, I'm I managed to finish the upper body and just saved it (program strata 3d). Right after I saved my file, the project disappears. I open the file again and even rebooted the system and still it will not want to open. It was the freakish lamest glitch I ever seen. I went to see what the file size of it and went on to have 243kb? What the frack? thats waaaaaay too small for such a project. It opens up but there are noo signs or any visual of the project I have been working on these past months. Anyways, I had to redo the whole project this week. What a bitch.

edit: it was a Mac.

However, I find both computers alright. Each have their own assets that I like. At any rate, its programs that I'm interested most.

[Matt]

at first, I thought I read that you had a robot design class. That would be awesome.

[Audio.]

I could taken that class in highschool but the class lost funds and well the professor left after the news.

i was anti-mac for years, then after a few too many years of having to constantly struggle with spyware, adware, DLL-hell and generally XP being unintuitive, slow and shit I decided to try a Mac.

They are not the end-all be-all, heaven sent super machine some make out, but they are excellent. they are really nice to use, safe, quick and do everything I need it to. I'd never, ever buy a PC again unless Windows 8 is rebuilt from scratch and is mind blowingly amazing.

OS X is quick and easy to use, and thats what I want from an OS.

Plus those new Macbook Pro's are the dogs bollox.

FYI: If you own an Apple you can't hide your IP Address~ Which might come in handy if you're in some lines of work(lb) So I have to say NO to Apple. I shopped every computer shop in BKK and the sad reality is that you can't hide your IP Address on Apples. And I wanted an Apple

[milleson]

I bought a Macbook Pro last night. It's last weeks model, but I got a hell of a deal.

[Nygel]

i dont really like the new models, not too big of an upgrade from mine as it is anyways. i got a new macbook pro in july and an imac back in june.
