Dazzla Veteran Posted April 23, 2002 Veteran Share Posted April 23, 2002 Originally posted by Timan sorry but mac users are insane ********** Thats a pretty brash generalisation, but if a third party was to solely judge the mac community on the basis of MacNN then they would come to the same conclusion. Same applies to Neowin, some of the people here are so Pro Microsoft they worship them. The people who probably have the most valid opinions are people who are either grown up, or own both platforms... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnifeFace Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 yeah, you don't want to receive such an e-mail in your inbox. :hurt: But do what most site do, when they are closed, just get an other name :D I think permission & copyright should be respected, but this is a little to far.

Maniac1181 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 Just got here... I totaly agree... To hell with all those stuck up mac users!! Damn! "Think different" Yeah right... so Hitler thought... :cool: that is the biggest crock of bulldong i have ever heard. they dont care about people ripping them off cuz they rip everyone else off. including apple. that is why they are getting their asses sued off. Actually toxikk, that would be most unacurate, miscrosoft is getting his ass sued off coz it has a to successfull OS and they use it to include more apps in it. Including IE in Windows meant bad business for Netscape since most users figured out "Hey!? Y the hell would I go spend some time getting a web browser when I got one already?!" same with lots of stuff included with windows.. Thats why they are getting sued, not becoz they copy other's stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billgates1 Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I do think, that Apple has done the rtight thing- I have a apple pb 1440[ with macos 8.1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krome Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 I want my Windows buttons and menu with a glassy look... but I don't want to make my PC look like Mac.... It's ridiculous if one go all the way to make their PC look exactly like Mac... for me, I prefer PC to look PC with neat buttons and stuff... not be like Mike... um... I mean Mac...

superbeast Posted April 23, 2002 Share Posted April 23, 2002 aafuss? where? you're scaring me! Timan, we always knew the risk of those sites. Apple doesn't suck, they are within their legal rights. For good reason. Apple has really come around with a nice OS and some cutting edge hardware. If they would release an intro line of machines, around the $600 - $700 range, then they would be in BIG business (and not something that looks like my gay uncle Jim's suitcase...something a real computer user wouldn't be embarrassed to use...)

I dunno about grown up :D but I run and use both platforms all day every day and both have their good and bad points, and much of it is what you are used to using for a specific task. In my experience go on any forum like this and announce you're a Mac User and you're inundated with insults, mainly from people who know nothing other than what they use or know any better. As far as MacNN goes it's just people being defensive with a knee-jerk reaction like I described above, and should be taken with a pinch of salt, it's only the internet FFS.

I like how in your post if another OS user gets out of hand its "insults" but in the mac world... guess what... ppl where "induced" by those nasty windows users into saying bad things and "we should take it with a pinch of salt" :right: . But i do agree with you when you say "both have their good and bad points, and much of it is what you are used to using for a specific task" ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbeast Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 OMG, not the curse of Babya... I thought he'd been gotten rid of! How many times has this Babya insanity crept into your life? It's as if every skin site I'm on, every theme site, every forum, BAM there's Babya! Why do people allow this guy to post? Babya is not an OS, it is not a skin, it does not emulate OSX, it's graphics are not better than WindowsXP and it does not have "time saving features" that "Microsoft office lacks"... I am so tired of this guy and his ravings on this worthless little app that works and looks like [edit-insert your own choice of word here]. Anyway, that's just what I think.

MayhemXP Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 my personal opinion is the PC platform is better. when it comes to certain video and image design, apple computers are preferred. Im pretty sure the new iMac computers are some of the only computers equipped with DVD burners.. very nice component. and of course both platforms have their own little advantages. personally Id like to have both, and I would grately enjoy if they both are compatibale with eachother these days (i wouldnt know, i used to have one of the origional macintash computers) lol but now im running 3 Dell PCs, Dell being my personal favorite company.

superbeast Posted April 24, 2002 Share Posted April 24, 2002 My only complaint against Apple is the lack of buttons. I use all 5 of my Intellimouse Optical probably every minute or two I'm booted up. My few years experience with Mac OS 8 really killed me, because even in 1999 I was hooked on a 3 button standard with Windows. Does Apple have a fix for this? Are there 3rd party apps that expand button functionality? Other than that, having been in these discussions for years, and used both platforms, I'd swear that you can compare PC / Apple at a 2 to 1 mhz ratio... 500mhz G4 = 1 ghz Athlon (comparable ram, video etc...) So what's to dislike? Each platform has it's benefits. They are now (thankfully) graphically equals in design work (took the PC a decade to catch up), and Mac's are finally getting ALL the good games. Go Apple! Go all you PC peeps! Die Compaq! (nm...)
