Said it before, and I'll say it again. Get a Mac! Your problems will disappear...

Sorry to burst your ego bubble here, Gil, but Macs, just like any other computer, can experience problems.

All experience problems, but Macs hardly experience any, in terms of hardware issues, compared to PC's.

You must be living in a fantasy world Gil. all computers are made of the same stuff. Therefore, all computers have problems. Buying a Mac won't guarantee you anything, other than a slimmer wallet.

Well you've obviously never used a Mac within the past couple years or so...

Are they made of something PC's aren't? Last I checked all computers are made of the same stuff.

Gil · « **Reply #216 on:** March 29, 2008, 11:10:55 AM »

Nope. They use higher qualities drives and components than most PC computers, which is why hardware problems are rare. In terms of PC's v.s. Macs, you get what you pay for.

Sure Gil. Sure.

I'm just telling you what's true. Why do you think they cost so much more than PC's? If they used the same EXACT parts, try $1,000 cheaper, and get a 10x crappier machine.

lfmusiclover · « **Reply #219 on:** March 29, 2008, 11:16:12 AM »

Because they're ripoff's, that;s why. The same reason iPods cost 30 times more than an ordinary mp3 player.

Not in the least bit. Macs can do things PC's could never dream of doing, or at least, in half the time, with considerably less resource consumption. Why do you think people in the productivity field (graphic design, music, etc.) use Macs exclusively? Discussion closed.

That's about the only thing Mac's really have over PC's. Otherwise, your waisting money.

I can agree with that. If all you're doing is web browsing and similar stuff, then a Mac isn't the right choice. But if you want a stable, productive, powerfull machine, then it's really only choice (as opposed to Linux).

EDIT: maybe this should be merged into the Mac Discussion thread.

I don't know anything about Linux, so I can't comment there, but according to your theory, 99.9% of the population has no use for a Mac.

Gil · « **Reply #224 on:** March 29, 2008, 12:22:39 PM »

That's an extremely inaccurate percentage. You may not realize, but lots of things today are made using macs. Take movies for example. 99% made on Mac. same with music, TV, etc.
