Starman Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 I'm glad I'm not the only one who has a distaste for Mxxcon. Anyway, as a Mac and Windows user (who leans towards the Mac), the only thing Windows is good for is gaming, and the occasional virus. I don't have any viruses since I take care of my PC, but it's an extra step I'm sick and f-----g tired of making ALL THE TIME. Boot machine, find there are virus updates, forced to reboot, etc. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of popups, I'm sick of spyware, I'm sick of adware, I'm sick of people trying to hack my PC using the internet. I'm sick of it all. I turn on my Mac and I KNOW that it's clean. BUT, to be fair, unless you want to go through the trouble of selling what you have, buying a new machine, possibly buying new software, then go for it. Switching might not be as simple as people say it is. However, once you finish the switch, life might be better for you. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful on the virus/trojan argument, the gospel that is Superfula, the unbiased poster, disagrees with you. According to him, you are unstable...

I'm not saying that you don't get popups on it, but it's not AS many, nor AS bad. Also Safari has an option to turn popups off, IE does not.

According to him, you are unstable... go to safari, press "cmd-k". cmd = that key next to the spacebar with the apple logo and a curly thingy on it :D i have not gotten a single pop-up with safari's blocker. and if you are using a third party browser, and it doesn't have a built-in pop-up blocker, i don't think it deserves to be used.

hadiz Posted June 21, 2004 Share Posted June 21, 2004 man, you are stubborn and...you know...i'd be ashamed to call myself a 'neowinian dominating' after that. He doesn't call himself that, that is the default title for that number of posts. I knew that this would start a flame war. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
