hardware or software?

just reading the how does one....? thread and it begged the
question:

When it comes to computers, are you a hardware person, or a
software person?

i.e. when you get a hardware fuck up, do you cry, or can you
fix it yourself, and the same with software?

Myself...

Hardware person, i'll take the whole thing apart in physical
space before i go softwaring around in virtual space. I hate
pissing around with programs, but i'm getting better at it,
whereas hardware i can look at and go ok the video card's
dicked, i'll go get a better one.

options and if it doesn't work out at the end, i call
someone who knows something aboout these things...

yeh, do you actually know that this guy knows fuck all about
Macs?

the things he's talking about are bullshit

I mentioned in great detail the shortcomings of this video
in the original thread this was showed in.

to agree with him.

well have you ever used Mac OS X?

if so, you'd realise that

1) it's pretty damn impossible to crash the system.

2) The dock can be placed ANYWHERE on the screen if you use
a freeware app easily downloaded

if macs are so shit, and they crash SOOOO often, how the
fuck did he manage to edit, queue, and encode the film on a
mac??

he's talking out of his arse

such a pain in the ass

i can't believe you didn't know you can plug in ANY control
device that uses USB

you can use graphics pads, Multiple button mice (and i'm
talking like 6 buttons or something ridiculous), keyboards

i mean for fucks sake, you can even plug in a PC USB
keyboard (not that you'd want to, the Windows key doesn't
really match up with what it does in Mac OS X)

I'd say software. I can fix most problems with the programs
I use. Also being a Mac user I've never had any real
problems with hardware.

and if you do, you buy a new mac.

I'm an engineer and programmer, so naturally if something
goes wrong I blame someone else.

after switching to mac everything is 1000x easier, but this
isn't a mac vs pc thread

*cough sneeze, OS X 10.3 is genius, cough cough*
