I did the pc thang!

[Colin]

ever since the start of 7th grade, two years ago (i'm in 9th now), i have gone to a private school which requires a PC laptop.  At first when i got it, i was overjoyed, at one point i thought they were better than macs.  Since then, i have consolidated al of my experiences and thought into one statement about PCs...*%# this @$*%!!!!  My hate of PCs has grown and grown, i cant do anything on this piece of crap!  Next year, i am probably going away to a boarding school like my brother, where i will have a mac and love it!  It is impossible for me to express my feelings(hate) towards this computer-wannabe.  I have concluded that PCs make you, as a person, more bitter and hateful!  Maybe the worlds problems would be over if u just gave everyone a mac . Well, i have tried both, and i'm done with the windows one!


i feel for those who have never used a mac-Colin---Cuo

[*DAMN Hazard]

I know a friend who split his hardrive for Windows and Linux just in case he needed a windows program for a project or something.

Colin could mb be a new, more offensive and angyer person for the new apple switch ads.

[xoclipse1]

why do you hate pcs so much? if you knew the full potential of a pc, then you would probably enjoy it. Also, Linux is nice to have, i have a dual boot XP Pro and SusE Linux. There is a lot more possibilites with pcs anyways.

whenever there is a problem for macs, u can always understand it and fix it.  There are so many technical things that u do not have to deal with in macs.  There just overall user friendly i think.

hush child. A Mac is almost the same as a PC concerning hardware except that Macs generally tend to have higher quality parts because Apple would rather make the entire machine by themselves and make you pay $1000 more than you should for it.

PC's aren't bad, but if you get frustrated easily, pay more for a Mac and be happy...but you don't have a clue what you are missing out on.

apple has complete controll over the hard ware that way ass,
it means that the dreaded usb conversion that happened with the advent of the imac has indeed changed macs.
Look at pcs nowadays, still using weak ass serial ports for alot of periferals.
Its also handy as hell not to deal with Bios and other bs shenanagans that microsoft is so famous for.

     A PC recently devolved upon me from a friend who has entered the Army and is off to boot camp, training to be an MP, then Korea. He had no more use for it, so he gave it to me. It's a pretty nice machine that can handle games well enough. And that's all it's good for: games. If I want to do anything productive or play games (in OS X) without having to worry about crashes and constant "missing xxxxxx.dll" errors, I flip back over to my Mac and enjoy using a real OS.

     (Man, I'm getting way too much enjoyment from saying things like that. It's the psychic backlash from years of hearing people assert that Macs weren't good for "real work" or were just "toys".)

uh, my pc friends are gonna start replyin now... so uh... ya....

"I flip back over to my Mac and enjoy using a real OS."

Thats halfway funny, a real OS? By what do you define a real OS by? Searously, im curious about what delusional concpets you have that would make an OS such as OS X a real Operating System.  Personaly I believe unix and lunix and sunOS to be much more "real" than that flowery Mac OS.

"ever since the start of 7th grade, two years ago (i'm in 9th now), i have gone to a private school which requires a PC laptop.  At first when i got it, i was overjoyed, at one point i thought they were better than macs.  Since then, i have consolidated al of my experiences and thought into one statement about PCs...*%# this @$*%!!!!  My hate of PCs has grown and grown, i cant do anything on this piece of crap!  Next year, i am probably going away to a boarding school like my brother, where i will have a mac and love it!  It is impossible for me to express my feelings(hate) towards this computer-wannabe.  I have concluded that PCs make you, as a person, more bitter and hateful!  Maybe the worlds problems would be over if u just gave everyone a mac  . Well, i have tried both, and i'm done with the windows one!"

Your just a dumb little sexualy deprived kid, get over your self.  Mommy and daddy will provide whatever you need/want for the next 30 years until they've gone.  Boarding school? and your bitching about having a laptop PC instead of a Mac.  Act your age and be greatful to have parents who will do that you little kid.  If you could point out legit reasons why PC's suck I would be overjoyed to read your responce.   Your just an angry spoiled little kid.


"whenever there is a problem for macs, u can always understand it and fix it.  There are so many technical things that u do not have to deal with in macs.  There just overall user friendly i think. "

I searously hope your never a tech support person.

What happens when you do want to upgrade a mac to get better performance, or possibly when you want to build your own.  Does it happen? nope! Why? Becuase you can just throw it out and buy a new one.

OMG, TY ACE!!!!

Finally someone that can explain to him why I run a mac.  

[214_Mad_Moose]

Yeah Pcs have "Potential" BUT THEY NEVER WORK! THATS WHY THEY SUCK!

[*DAMN Hazard]

I had my PC for a year and my Mac for a month and I have been able to do more things and do the things I already did, better than before on my Mac. If I were to tell you all the sh** that went wrong on my PC you would just cry.

Origin, ur PATHETIC and so are your pcs.  U want a legit reason why pcs suck, here u go dumbass:

1)  One word, DLL, Direct Link Libraries are the most annoying things in the world, every time u want to install something new they make u download a crapload of these!

2)  Their tech support process sucks like NO OTHER, pcs have an endless amount of vendors and sellers, while Apple only has one real one, Apple Inc., sure there are sellers like Macworld, Clubmac, and a couple others but they are all directly linked to Apple for there products.  Another thing, the Apple tech support people are the nicest people in the world!

3)  The overall layout and design of the apple system is much less efficient.  The entire system on macs is all laid out before u, u have control of everything, nothing is clutered, everything is organized, this makes it much much much more efficient for work!


Origin, its all there!  Its all compatable and perfect!  There is nothing more i need because macs never break down like your pcs do once a week!  As Ace said, macs have massive upgrade potential, look at any list of sepcs, any mac magazine, u will see how much memory it comes with and how much memory is can be expanded to (usually at LEAST twice the amount of memory it comes with).  Not only that but macs are a sinch to upgrade, especially for memory.

Origin, like i said, u are truly PATHETIC, u come into this forum, all big and bad, but u don't have the slightest clue what ur talking about!  I'd call u names and insult u like u did me but the truth is, I FEEL SORRY FOR U!  Like i said, pcs overall make u a more bitter and hateful, origin here is a prime example!  U are SOOOOOO pathetic, i'd mock u, but the challenge is COMPLETELY gone!  In short, u r WRONG and the next time u post here u should have at least a small clue of what ur talking about!  I didn't have to shoot u down cause u just shoot urself down!

btw, do u play rogue spear?  Cause i love it when newbies insult me and then i own them in 1v1s!  Would u like to 1v1 me noob?

WELL THAT SUCKS WHEN MY WHOLE POST GETS DELETED!!

"Yeah Pcs have "Potential" BUT THEY NEVER WORK! THATS WHY THEY SUCK! "
My PC has been running perfectly for almost 2 months, and it can out perform Brian/Viper's Mac, along with my EMachine, just ask when we race to get into WarCraft3.  PCs hardly suck, i can name countless reasons to prove you wrong, but to save time i wont.

Ace i respect that fact you actualy went after points in my last post, your the only person on the fourm to do so.  Kinda interesting, how Mac users complain about PC users being disgrunteled, and i dont belive i ever swore.  

But each point has a good counter point:
"It's quite mature of you to make baseless personal attacks when your lack of facts and logic destroys your attempt to belittle Macs. He merely stated how he has tried both Windows and Macs and finds Macs to be superior, a conclusion reached by many who have actually tried Macs rather than fall into the stereotyping that is typical of trolls such as yourself. If you really want me to, I'll point out the bazillion reasons why I would and always will have a Mac rather than some Wintel x86, I would be glad to as long as you are prepared to read a lot."

ReRead his oringal post, if he would have stated his experience and simply left as is. I would feel bad for going after him, however he went further into depth, and it was quite easy to base some attacks on him becuase of his story, again feel free to prove me wrong.    

"So a computer has to be *nix to be a "real" OS? Hmm, well as we speak I have X11 running because my OS is built on FreeBSD (*gasp* a *nix!). From what you said I got the impression that you run Windows, which last time I checked was nothing more than glorified DOS when you get down to the nuts and bolts of it. I'm sensing a heavy twinge of jealously because we have *nix on the desktop (with all of Apple's style of course) and you are left with whatever M$ decides to stick up your bumhole and charge you for."

True i run windows, and Unix and have been around SunOS alot.  Got me there


Post 1 of 2.. wtf i cant post long things? GET EZBOARD!!

[Origin]

AND NOW ON TO COLIN!
Take some typing classes woulda ya bud?

"1)  One word, DLL, Direct Link Libraries are the most annoying things in the world, every time u want to install something new they make u download a crapload of these!"
Dll is not a word, it is an extension, which stands for Dynamic Link Library.  And judging by your definition of them, you dont know how easy it is to get them, and install them.  Learn something first please, i aint no newbie to this

2. "Their tech support process sucks like NO OTHER, pcs have an endless amount of vendors and sellers, while Apple only has one real one, Apple Inc., sure there are sellers like Macworld, Clubmac, and a couple others but they are all directly linked to Apple for there products.  Another thing, the Apple tech support people are the nicest people in the world!"  
  Tech Support sucks in general for almost every product, so i find it hard a Mac tech support person can fix everything.  Also, there are numerous fourms dedicated to techsupport for PCs which are very helpful.  Me through Xp also has the lovely go back feature that allows you to undo any harmful changes... then again why would someone screw up their machine beyond the point of repair?  (thats rethorical (sp?))

"3)  The overall layout and design of the apple system is much less efficient.  The entire system on macs is all laid out before u, u have control of everything, nothing is clutered, everything is organized, this makes it much much much more efficient for work!"
This amuses me the most... LETS BREAK IT DOWN SHALE WE!?

You said "The overall layout and design of the apple system is much less efficient."
I agree, winXP is much more user friendly.

You also said " The entire system on macs is all laid out before u, u have control of everything, nothing is clutered, everything is organized, this makes it much much much more efficient for work! "
huh?! Ill send you a screenie of my desk top, not even close to cluttered, also which side are you batting for?

"Origin, its all there!  Its all compatable and perfect!  There is nothing more i need because macs never break down like your pcs do once a week!  As Ace said, macs have massive upgrade potential, look at any list of sepcs, any mac magazine, u will see how much memory it comes with and how much memory is can be expanded to (usually at LEAST twice the amount of memory it comes with).  Not only that but macs are a sinch to upgrade, especially for memory."

Memory? Wow, the idiot down the street knows how to snap in memory sticks, (ask brian again).  PCs have been and will always be more affordable, again you can prove me wrong, and if not as upgradeable, more upgrade able.  


As for the rest of your brilliant post...
"Origin, like i said, u are truly PATHETIC, u come into this forum, all big and bad, but u don't have the slightest clue what ur talking about!  I'd call u names and insult u like u did me but the truth is, I FEEL SORRY FOR U!  Like i said, pcs overall make u a more bitter and hateful, origin here is a prime example!  U are SOOOOOO pathetic, i'd mock u, but the challenge is COMPLETELY gone!  In short, u r WRONG and the next time u post here u should have at least a small clue of what ur talking about!  I didn't have to shoot u down cause u just shoot urself down!"

I belive from the statements ive posted up there, you took care of the personal attacks for me


As for the games i play, I enjoy the networking/programming aspect more, but i love warcraft3, ask brian  and i enjoy tribes 1 and 2 from time to time.   Never had the chance to get RS or RB6... sorry to disappoint.


n00b, you actualy made me laugh after reading your post... ace's was more... i dunno how to say it, better?

[Origin]

I do realize I sound like a hypocrite when I say take some typing classes... I appologize, I would just rather you realize what you type so it makes sence... my fooked up english still makes sence.

Though  I know that I am not going to convince any of the Mac Zealots here of anything, mainly due to ignorance much like that found in right-wing Christian goups :x       Why don't I post for my own entertainment?


      I personally beleive the main problems with Mac's are the people who use them.  any OEM system is designed for someone who either doesnt have the intelligence or the patience to build their own PC and save some money in the proccess, while making something completley capable of doing anything one would need to accomplish, e.g. video editing, CAD or CAE work etc.        Thus far all the 'pro-mac' people in this thread have basically said that they like mac's for reasons directly related to their personal inability to work out their own fucking problems. Unless you run Win98, or you're stupid enough to install software that wasnt intended to be used on a revamped OS ( XP, 2k, 2k ADV Server )   you wont encounter problems with DLL's going corrupt on you.  AND GUESS WHAT   even though DOS is an archaic piece of software, you can still go into DOS and delete things such as corrupted DLL's, fuck you can delete anything basically. And with about 20 minutes in an old DOS book ( GOD FORBID YOU"D NEED TO READ SOMETHING TO UNDERSTAND HOW IT WORKS )  you'll understand how to navigate the entire system! but wait, there's more intelligence required.      
       What'yall think about getting any piece of software for free ?   Within a matter of hours?   Plain and simple though not morally 'right'  you can get any piece of software on a PC within a matter of hours, provided that you understand how to look for, and download these resources.   If you pay for software for a PC, you really shouldnt be using a computer, that is unless of course you happen to be running a business and the *legal issues* have actual prosecutable reprocussions.  
    Yet another wonderful point I'd like to make, you're not limited to any number of products that either have to be engineered to work with an apple system. Like it or not 90% of the god damned world uses PCs.  If the demand is there, the economy will adjust to provide the appropriate hardware. I'm sorry but i'd like to see an HDTV Tuner for a Mac, or perhaps SCSI RAID cards.

Let's not forget the wonderful marketing techniques that Apple imploys.   Just recently I go to apple.com out of boredom, I see an add for a .25 Terabyte 1U server.     I think to myself within about 20 seconds that wow, they got ahold of 4 120GB drives.  Nothing a PC cant do, or excede in. Or rather, HASNT done before.  oh what about the 'amazing 12watt speakers! more than double that of the average PC!'    blow me, I've got  400watts of THX 4.1 certified sound on my PC.  btw Harmon Kardon blows my cat.   I could make better sound with two campbells soup cans and a dead rat.     Apple's entire marketing scheme is devised to glorify the ordinary, everytime that something has been engineered to work with a Mac, they praise it like PC's are 12 months behind.

Also, if any of you Mac Zealots honestly beleive that PC's still use ISA and fucking Serial Ports, you really have something coming to you. Mac's are not the only solution. There are a whole world of people out there that are completley competent in operating a PC and getting anything you could possibly imagine out of it.    My personal reasons for dislikeing the idea of using a Mac, is that it essentially limits you to using specific software, specific hardware, and by god, you have a fucking piece of fruit on your case.
