But so is the Windows XP operating system AND there's one hell of a lot more software designed for Windows. Used to be a Mac user and loved the elegance of the machine but hated the lack of software. Been through the Mac/PC wars and decided it was just plain stupid.

9. I hate these Mac vs PC debates that pop up... |
|
in forums. They prove nothing, each is different and similar and it all boils down to money and preference, so there you have it.
It is usually just a bad attempt for the original poster to justify what he purchased. I guess you could compare it to someone getting a haircut and repeatedly asking, "Do you like my new cut? Excuse me, do you like my new cut? Why are you walking away?"
Get a life.

12. Can't say I ever liked XP - that much. |
|
I have compared to OS/X . AFter having had to use XP at work, there is still not a good justification for me to switch to windows. While it is better, its still not good enough and not as user friendly as I would like. I see XP as a job security for IT geeks.
Learning about the new Microsoft Service Pack 2 for secriuty updates just reinforces my decisions to stay with Macs. Plus and this may be the deciding issue, I am not into games, and all the software I need is already here.
But yeah, XP is a brave OS. I just think Microsoft still excels at defending weak products. Macs are not going away.

I have been forced to use wintel crap in corporate situations and those experiences have only reinforced my love of my long line of Macs.
I edit video and produce graphics and streaming media using a Power Book so I can do it all wherever I am.

16. I have one of the older iBooks, and I use it almost exclusively |
|
leaving my iMac to gather dust. Both are year 2000 models, upgraded to OS X, and I've never had any trouble with the hardware, except for a hard disk crash after the iMac came across the country in a moving van.
Next time, I plan to get a 15" PowerBook (or maybe even a whopping 17," so I can see both the source document and my translation at the same time!) for everyday use and a 12" iBook for travel.
I've been using Macs since 1989, and I've owned them since 1993. My first was an LC III (pizza box model), then came a Performa, and then came the iMac, followed by the addition of the iBook a few months later.
My local coffeeshop has free wireless Internet, so it is a hangout for all the self-employed people and students in the neighborhood. At any given time, at least half are using Macs. Once I was in there and the place looked like a Mac showroom, because we had several generations of Mac portables at work at various tables.
