OOOO....I'm posting on one of three brand new emacs

[HEyHEY]

This is so cool, no more of that crashing and crap of the old computers...and ALL NEW PROGRAMS!! Photoshop 8, indesign, safari, Illustrator 11, I'm all giddy.

1. Macs run circles around PeeCees

I'm a DU newbie but I've had a Mac since the original model
(which I still have). 

It's not that I CAN'T use WinDoze - I can - but I'm AGGRAVATED
the whole time!

I love my G4 iBook and I love DU!!

2. Welcome to DU!

5. Thank you so much!!

I am absolutely addicted to this website!

I'm so grateful to all the DUers who help me put the Bush insanity into a framework that allows me a glimmer of hope for the future.

After 3 years of unemployment, I need some hope!

7. Wow, addicted to DU after only 2 posts

You're even worse than me!

4. eMacs rock!

I finally had to retire my old PM6100 last year, even with it maxed out on update cards and maxed RAM it was getting slow and cranky. Bought an eMac with the split OS 9/X, and I simply love it. I get to keep all of my old software and still get some new updated programs. Fast, stable, just what I've come to expect from a Mac. I'm looking forward to another ten years of Mac bliss.

I'm stuck with a POS Dell box at work and simply hate working with it. Bugs, viruses, spyware, the list is endless. How can people work with such junk and think that it is golden? I'll never understand.:shrug:

6. All this using emacs to browse web sites is disgraceful

I know you old-timers like your primitive 1970s tools, but give me a break. Emacs?

Try Mozilla or something.





Or... I have been hanging out on Slashdot too much.

[ocean girl]

8. OK, I'll bite

Name one thing you can do on your PeeCee that I can't do on my iBook, PowerBook or G4.

And faster.

[Fear]

9. Run ASP.NET :P

[cprise]

10. Well I can run monopolist crap

But that wasn't the subject.

The subject was web browsing with emacs... a text editor from the 1970s.

Blech.

11. Sorry To Butt In

Just Of The Top Of My Head : 95% Of Video Games

[ocean girl]

12. Different strokes!

Not sure what ASP is (database?), I can play all the video games I love on my Mac. I use Safari and Apple Mail, I run my business using Adobe Photoshop, InDesign, FileMaker Pro, Microsoft Office and QuickBooks. Sure don't feel like I'm missing anything!

Anyway - live and let live - and enjoy life - that's the important thing!

[HornBuckler]

13. Yeah I Hear Ya

I Live And Breath Video Games - So I Use A PC - My Roomate Has A Mac And He's Always In Here Playing My Games Because Most Of 'Em Never Get Released For Mac

[Fear]

16. nah not a database, ASP.NET is a programming framework

and actually there's a linux clone for it now,mono, I believe it runs on FREEBSD as well, which is the engine MAC uses.....wouldn't advice that kind of setup though!

Must say I'm very pleased with ASP.NET, got many great things!

[Deja Q]

14. I wish I was made of money! The software alone is at least $1800.

How much for the wee-Mac? $3000?

Will Apple allow a trade-in program? We consumers can't just switch platforms at the drop of a hat...

[Lydia Leftcoast]

15. eMacs start at $799

Here are the details:

17. I have no money - the company does

And they love tossin' it around
