I'm a big apple fan wondering if anyone else is?

Joey · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:04 AM

It sure as hell is better than PC.... I've been hassling with this thing for ages and I can't get a mac because this one isn't dead yet

Nixon · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:09 AM

Kill It

Janvier · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:13 AM

I've been using a Mac for as long as I can remember, my Dad is the biggest pc hater, he was using a Mac before I was even born.
I convinced my Grandmother to buy me a pc to play games (Mac OS 7/8/9 were terrible for games...) but then regretted a few years later and now I'm back on a Mac and loving it !!
My Dad accepted it 100x better when I told him I was gay than when I told him I wanted to a pc

JT · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:26 AM

I want one, but I'm using a PC until I go off to college.

Matty · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:41 AM

Now that I am in college, I have my first laptop and Mac and it's an absolute delight...much more reliable than a PC.

Noah · 22nd Sep 2008, 10:49 AM

I used ubuntu linux and windows, but no mac yet

Yay for analogies and Mac.!

See, I don't have any problems with my PC, maybe it's just cause I'm used to it, much the same as I would think Mac's are a pile because I'm not used to it. Also maybe it's cause I don't use Vista either, which I hear they are having huge problems with. But Mac's confuse me with, once I got used to one I'd probably like them more, aside from the outrageous price tag.

i really want to get a Mac, but i'm currently using a PC :\

Fiorino · 22nd Sep 2008, 02:11 PM

Mac user here!

EmperorNero · 22nd Sep 2008, 02:12 PM

I'm using a PC, and I don't want a mac. Instead, I want a new, more expensive PC.

Wander · 22nd Sep 2008, 02:23 PM

I like Apple's other tech, but everything these days seems like it was built perfectly for PCs and Macs were more like a side idea. I'm too used to my MSPaint and Word and Powerpoint and Start Flag Menu to give them up.

I do now. Still...my computer is working just fine right now. I may or may not get a Mac when this one dies, I don't know. But for now, there's no reason to switch over.

I've never really used a Mac for any great length of time. I'm a linux-on-PC user

I'm a PC user, and I don't think there's the huge order of magnitude difference between the two that some lead you do believe. They both have their pros and cons. When I bought my last computer the scales were still tipped in favour of PC for my specific needs.
