Highly Amusing Article - Mac Vs PC..

[Enicomb]

I might as well bring in my English paper I wrote last year into this.

I did a fair amount of research into exactly what I wanted in a computer, and what I wanted to pay for. I not only checked out reviews in both site and people's personal experience, but took a look at it myself. I wanted a computer that would last me a good 5 years, need very little work done outside updating, and, most of all, worked every time I used it. My old computer was 8 years old, and ran extremely sluggish in everything I did. I bluescreened it every day, and needed to reinstall Windows at least every month. It just plain didn't want to work.

I took a trip to the apple store and checked out the new macbooks, and discovered them to be simple and fast. I also saw people using iBooks and Powerbooks from 10 years ago, and they still worked well.

But macs aren't for everyone. They're for artists, so they run those things quickly. So, it works get for me.

I'm not going to be able to put this as well as furie probably would, but what a load of tosh that is. Herein is my problem with a Mac; and it's not even the Mac itself, it's the ill-informed user opinion (we'll ignore the singular mouse button and flashiness for flashinesses sake).

I've never owned a Mac (I won't pay the premium and don't see the advantage) although I have used them and find them frustratingly awful (maybe it's because I use Windows predominately). Tbh though if I wanted to move away from Windows I'd move to a flavour of GNU/Linux, more than likely CentOS, simply because I prefer the RedHat 'way of doing things' over the Debian one (there's always Arch too I suppose...).

Funny thing, to me anyway, is that most Mac users, who, in my experience cower away from any form of GNU/Linux and deride Windows don't realise that OSX runs on a ancient bastardised version of BSD and don't realise there's a terminal under all the flashy, waste of resources.

Vista is ****e.

Macs are not Windows.

I shall preservere with my ****e.

Being terrified and hopeless with technology means I will never buy a Mac and will stick to ****y Vista, and when the inelvitable happens I'll just press that magical button it the corner than makes all the bits appear on screen behind each other and scroll through them. Then everything will be alright with the world. I don't know how that button works or how it does it, but it is magic and makes me smile without fail.
