MACs are shit because:

you cant cut and paste files
you cant restore stuff in the recycle bin
all the Itunes, iphoto etc software is shite, especially
iphoto.

PCs are shit.

there's a market for a superior computer somewhere between
macs pretty and tough computers and windows shite but
affordable and friendly computer.

Can't understand the last sentence; dismissing your opinion
entirely.

you can restore stuff from the "recycle bin" as you call it.
On the Mac it's called Trash, it's a bin, that's where you
throw stuff you don't want anymore!

With Norton Utilities you can sometimes retrieve files but
why the fuck would you want that? Judging by Microsoft's
previous performance I can't imagine their file recovery
works very well.

You can cut and paste files on OS X, not on OS 9.

The whole iLife suite of applications is superior to
anything that's free and almost all of the consumer apps
available on PC.

Macs are not shit. But PCs are.

Now, bite me!

i dont know about you, but i quite often delete something
then realize that i need it 5 minutes later. and you can
undelete almost anything, if you know what youre doing, on a
pc.

On Macs, you throw stuff in the trash and it stays there
until you empty the trash. If your not a complete fuckwit,
you only empty the trash when you're sure you don't want any
of the stuff in it. There is absolutely no point in deleting
stuff if it's still there taking up your hard disk space
incase you suddenly need it again.

And iPhoto is a bit naff but it's free, if you don't like it
get a different program. iTunes is great though in my
opinion. I don't really understand why you would need to cut
and paste files.

why not just create a folder for stuff you don't think you
need...
and then when the stuff you've put there has been there for
like one mounth, you then delete it.
It's an easy way to solve the problem.

YOU are shit because:

you delete stuff you didn't mean to
you own a pc and a mac which is a pointless waist of money
you don't seem to be able to perform simple tasks
