May 10, 200719 yr I use Mac OS X Tiger. easily the best OS out there, along with the best computers in general. :thumbsup: Im way looking forward to leopard. any other Mac aficionados out there? What hardware do macs have over PCs nowadays? :P I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
May 11, 200719 yr Well, for starters, the interface is so much easier to use on a mac. you can find things and edit things so much quicker. Second, the new ones come with built in eyesight camera and microphone for chats, which is convenient. Also, macs dont get viruses. I can use limewire and not worry about a thing while my friends with PCs are out of luck when their comps crash. Another point is that graphics are naturally cleaner and sleeker on macs, way better for graphic design and things of that nature. One other thing is that now with software like Parallels and Boot Camp, intel-based macs can run Windows as well as the latest Mac OS. So, if I ever would have the slightest need to run a windows-only program, I could do so with ease, on my mac. any other questions? \

They get less viruses because there is a small user base verse pcs and hackers target the operating system that they can do the most damage on a large scale. Macs are not proven safer than Windows, it's just not many people use them.
May 11, 200719 yr macs are safer and this is why http://aroundcny.com/technofile/texts/mac020304.html
May 11, 200719 yr macs are safer and this is why http://aroundcny.com/technofile/texts/mac020304.html Hey, I Can pull random links out of my [wagon] too! (but this one is more recent) http://news.zdnet.co.uk/security/0,1000 ... 912,00.htm I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
May 11, 200719 yr Well, for starters, the interface is so much easier to use on a mac. you can find things and edit things so much quicker. Second, the new ones come with built in eyesight camera and microphone for chats, which is convenient. 1) Ease of use is personal preference. 2) I can find and edit my start menu in a matter of seconds too. 3) Camera and mic are addons many people don't have a use for. Seen as bloat in my case. Also, macs dont get viruses. Wrong. You can argue any way you want, but this is the same kind of social engineering virus that plagues Windows users and you claim can't happen. Another point is that graphics are naturally cleaner and sleeker on macs, way better for graphic design and things of that nature. This is a matter of person preference and vision again. Macs are marketed as media machines, and it's clearly swayed you. A good LCD, video card and proper color tuning of the monitor will do just as good on Windows. My dad uses XP for all his photo work and does quite well. One other thing is that now with software like Parallels and Boot Camp, intel-based macs can run Windows as well as the latest Mac OS. So, if I ever would have the slightest need to run a windows-only program, I could do so with ease, on my mac. any other questions? \ Or, you could spend half the money on a Windows machine and still do everything the Mac could do without having to screw around with BootCamp. :lol:
May 11, 200719 yr you can argue whatever way you like but i guarentee, once you go mac you never go back
May 11, 200719 yr i use windows machines i always have they work fine for me i pretty much mastered the comp with out a manual in a few days (with school in between) but macs man i hate apple software/hardware they can get so confusing!! my bro said,"get a life" so i asked "where do i download that...98% Of teenagers surround their minds with rap music, if you're part of the 2% that stayed with rock, put this in your signature, ROCK IS BETTER!
May 11, 200719 yr you can argue whatever way you like but i guarentee, once you go mac you never go back But why on God's green earth would I want to get "hooked" on expensive hardware? I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.

May 11, 200719 yr you can argue whatever way you like but i guarentee, once you go mac you never go back Ship me a Mac then, since you're so sure I'll never go back to my Windows machines. I'll gladly use it for a day, and then send you a video of myself smashing it to pieces in my driveway. Macs have their place in the computer world, but people arguing 'once you go mac you never go back' are just idiots.

February 11, 200917 yr Thanks for the two year bump mate. My relaxation method involves a bottle of lotion, beautiful women, and partial nudity. Yes I get massages.
February 11, 200917 yr The first page of this thread consists of posts that were made before Vista was even out. Even with this being a "good" topic, it should've been remade months or maybe even a year or more ago. ~~Chaise91~~
February 12, 200917 yr Vista. 8,180WONGTONG IS THE BEST AND IS MORE SUPERIOR THAN ME#1 Wongtong stalker.Im looking for some No Limit soldiers!
February 12, 200917 yr Linux. :thumbup: Ubuntu studio Hardy and Intrepid, and Ubuntu Hardy. (I'm going to upgrade or reinstall to Jaunty when it comes out, can't wait ) Hopefully going to try out Fedora or Debian today or later this week, currently seeding them because it's the least I can do.
February 12, 200917 yr XP. I've tried Vista with my computer, but it's really too much of a resource hog. XP on my hd will live on until the end of this year, getting replaced by Win7. I want to try OpenSolaris, but then i need to partition my hd... I'm so lazy... J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé
February 12, 200917 yr ^ I've been interested in trying out OpenSolaris as well as PC-BSD, Plan 9 and Darwin. They look pretty FTW. I'm wondering, is there anyone here interested in creating a TIF Linux User Group? (LUG)
February 13, 200917 yr Author i have to update this lol I use Linux kubuntu on my desktop annnd i have to use Xp on my school computer :/ OMG OMG SAILING IS COMING LOLOLOLOL!!!1111 b/c JAGEX GAMES STUDIO , ANAGRAM OF SAITO JUDGE X-GAMES TAKASHI SAITO= RED SOX P1TCHER...

I'm wondering, is there anyone here interested in creating a TIF Linux User Group? (LUG) I would, altho my *nix knowledge is 0.1% lol. I don't know how that would take place, got any ideas? There's quite a few who uses it here, so i don't think there would be a problem getting some people for it.

February 13, 200917 yr Yeah, it's just they're not reading this thread because they think it's full of spam by now. Not a bad guess, but I'm pleasantly surprised at how many people have been able to hold themselves. And your *nix knowledge doesn't matter, just as long as you are willing to learn. :P
