OK I want a serious convo about this now. I've been using a PC my entire life and I know it like the back of my hand. I don't know mac for shit but I hear they're great for music/graphic design and im very intruiged. So can you people tell your opinions on both, the pros the cons etc.... Thank you. |

well they're great for making desktops! hah from what i've seen from using both a mac and a pc: macs (+) seem to run the programs better/quicker, and they tend to display better. also, they're much more stable, as in they don't crash as much, which is important when doing design/music. macs (-) don't have as many programs available, which makes it limited (ie: no soulseek! (yet)) other than that my mac is great! pcs (+) are great for programming/hacking. everything is available to be messed around with. macs seem to have tighter security. and almost all programs are designed primarily for pc. pcs (-) do tend to crash (already mentioned) easier. that's about it from me, i use both and don't have a conflict using either one, though i do prefer mac! |

I don't know really i'll have to get a mac to find out that'll take me a while but i'll do it just to have the best of both worlds. |

skink: word! asche xl: i'm trying to think of other things with comparing macs & pcs for ye... |

macs run everything better. All you need is Virtual PC to run soulseek etc. |
||||||||

oh yeah? *frantically searches for VIRTUAL PC!!!! (dramatic reverb) BEOW BKCH WOW (guitar solo)* |

get Limewire, download Virtual pc and you can steal everyones music. |

|
|
sweet deal |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
are you running a mac? (i would think so due to your wealth of information, but just to be sure...) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ofcourse! macs are the best for these sort of things. I've got a PC for all the silly odd music programs. Go to www.cnet.com and get Virtual PC, you can use most of the P2P PROGRAMS WITH IT. |
||||||||
|

excellent! well asche xl, there's another plus for mac! VIRTUAL PC!!! (dramatic reverb) BEOW BKCH WOW (guitar solo) |

I've recently stopped playing PC games, so I'm really excited about the idea of having my next rig be a mac. the new G5 to be annoucned this monday is supposed to be hella sweet, hella! |

|
|
funny, i just bought a powerbook g4 and i was thinking of starting a topic like this. i've been using pc's all of my life but i really like the powerbook. both are great for different things, but since i'm a student of the graphic arts, i'll go with the mac for right now. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this mac is hella good in terms of stability. i had to deal with XP and its failure to run half the time, so this is a nice change. and the layout of OSX is sweet. very appealing. |
||||||||

Own both! |

My experience with Macs leads me to believe they are: -unstable -slow -lacking in too many programs -have annoying mouses -shit -awkward to use -bundled with the worst designed OS known to man -ugly -crap -evil -called Leila I utterly, utterly detest Macs. Which is unfortunate, as I may spend the rest of my life working with them, as I do now. :| |

My experience with People from Leicestershire leads me to believe they are: -unstable -slow -lacking -have annoying mice -shit -awkward to use -ugly -crap -evil -called Leila I utterly, utterly detest People from Leicestershire . Which is unfortunate, as I spend much of of my life living with them , right here , in Leics :( not 4 much longer though :P |

This is true. |

untill they get me a decent mouse... im not buying one, no matter how much stupid colors they smack against the case |

Ive had my first mac for a year now and i love it to bits,its an i mac 700 g4 . I run osx and 9.2 which im going to ditch soon and get jaguar . i love macs because they almost take care of themselfs and the programs are very stable. i beleve processer speeds are growing far to quick and programers strugle to keep up,so this g4 should last me over 5 years. |
||||||||

|
|
The mouse is great, i dont see the problem with it ?!? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
its only got one knob... how stupid is that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I can see Leicestershire from my window. |

i like macs, but i really hate that see-through mouse. it is so inconvenient if you want to drag something across the screen, because its nearly impossible to pick it up and keep the button held down. im sure you can buy a third-party mouse though. |

hey, good idea!! i could call my iMac Leila : ) ....but how do i know if it's a male or a female computer? if he's a male computer maybe he'd get frustrated... °_° the only thing that pisses me off about macs is that there isn't soulseek for it. maybe there will be, but only satan knows when... (or does he?) forck_02lynix > does this virtual PC thingie make it work properly? i tried once to make kazaa run on virtual PC (it was long ago) and it didn't work well... |
||||||||

|
|
oh, and i prefer macs. question of taste. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been using a pc all my life, but I prefer a mac. I'm thinking about getting a nice power-book. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i'm going to have to face this choice soon |
||||||||
|
|

same here |
||||||||
|
|

not sure, i haven't been able to download it yet. a good question though, one i would like answered as well. |

eMacs talk at you. The one I use at college has a female voice and is thus called Leila. I want to kick the shit out of her. |

macs forever!!! |

the thing about macs though is that they're muchos expensive! you can get a new pc for under a grand. and i suppose you could go the iMac route but those are for pussies anyways. |

dude osx could get hit by a car and not crash |
||||||||

oh dear i'm a pussy! |

consider that mac has better Ellen Feiss desktop pics. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you hate the macs mouse, theres a pretty simple solution: STOP WHINING AND BUY A TWO BUTTON MOUSE WITH A USB CABLE AND HOOK IT UP TO THE MAC, FUCKIN PANSY. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
I hate the mac OS, it sucks a lot of things. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i use both a mac and a pc. like em both. like the mac more. my mouse has two buttons and a scroll wheel... same mouse for my PC actually. i dont see the difference. my mac is more stable than my pc. |

...whilst working as a graphic designer I was using a P3750 and a fellow designer was using a MacG3. On average he was crashing about 10-15 times in a day, where as I was only crashing 1-2 times a day, this should only go to show that macs are quite capable of becoming unstable machines also... - btw I found the perfectly round mouse really uncomfortable to use, that's just personal preference I guess ... |
