mac kills my inner child

wow, I typed a huge reply to what you said and apperantly the school's network didn't put it through, for fucks sakes. You can have this one. I'm not typing all that shit out again.

In short: OS X is amazing but only for Macs due to Apple's Mac monopoly.

If you can afford it. Go ahead, Macs are great.

Mac-bashing from your point of view is like saying "Don't buy NetMD Walkmans because you have to use Sony's own Disks to play it, you can't buy them from other companies".

Or like saying "Sony memory sticks are useless because you can only use them on other sony products".

I like OS X, I dished out $4k for my PowerBook, I like it. I'm going to keep it. The End.

"Why buy a Playstation if you can only play Playstation games?

That sucks, if I buy a PS2, that means I'm going to have to buy games specially made for a PS2, when I can just get a PC and have access to more games than a PS2 will ever have."

That's what your argument sound's like, shmeh. Rolling Eyes

Well, what's wrong with that argument? If you could only get one or the other, wouldn't that make sense?

You're implying that people have 1 Mac and 1 PC, which is the case with most people who have a console and a PC; they have both, not one or the other.

THAT'S EXACTLY MY POINT! Evil or Very Mad

But DANS argument is that he wouldn't but a NetMD walkman anyways because it's only compatible with NetMD Mini-Disks.

My opinion is THAT you can very well purchase the NetMD walkman because it's kick-ass, even though you have a diskman lying around.They're not compatible, but so what?

it appears so.

But this thread was about Macs vs, PCs... Besides, what I said still stands..

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. You can believe whatever you want to, I just ask you to respect mine like i do yours.

now stfu.

besides, what's the point in arguing about which one is better? Those who buys Macs will swear by them, so do Linuxers with their distro's, Microsoft Zealots with Windows, ect.

Macs are different. You don't like the change? Stick with your Windows/x86. That's how simple it is.

What about linux that is prity diffrent and not evil. And to me it makes alot more scence to get a PC then a PS2, u can play PS2 games on the PC with a good emulaor. Also the PS2 has a point and not counting the emulaor could do things the PC could not but a PC dose everything a MAC dose but it is more combialte with other things....

nooo shit.

It's a thing of preference. Why the hell do you think X-Box and PS2's are such a huge market? Why do so many people own these when you can do just as much with a regular PC? Because they want to. Same goes for Macs.

Sure, you can't code PHP website's with an XBox, and you can't download and play Warcraft III on a PS2. But what it's for, and what it has is enough reason to buy it.

Same with Macs, they can't do everything. But what they do, they do it well, and people that can afford it, will get one.
