    Oh, I see the flaming has already begun. This is what happens when you stir up Mac fans...

    Superior -> how?
    Mind you they do make a nice looking box to put it all in.

    As for ease of use, it's what you get used to.

    This isn't meant to sound offensive but maybe if you were more proficient in the use of a PC you could depart than knowledge more easily.
    I used to teach IT to classes of retired people and found they would pick it up quite easily.
    Maybe the tutor rather than the pupil?

    Oops sorry that wasn't how it was supposed to sound what I mean is that their mistake was not building it but rather than making it proprietary thus stunting it's development and acceptance.

    I'm quite secure mate, I'm at the other end of a DSL line

    I'm not trying to pi$$ people off, I can be open minded about technology I don't need to defend or be offensive about PC's - Apple - Linux. The facts speak for themselves.

    The thing that get's me is you can run Windows/PC emulation on your Mac but I've never seen a Mac emulator for a PC.

    What does that tell you?...

    that you haven't done a quick web search for one!


    I recommend windows, mac and linux...
    Windows on my computer (specialised needs as it's a tablet pc )
    Mac for people who want a computer to work and are sick of BSODs, things breaking badly and generally going slow. I look after a small network of them, they just work happily.
    Linux, well, mostly toy value, but if your little brother is an open source fanatic (he hasn't yet seen the real world!). I'd probably run it if I ever got a desktop again.

    Anyway, each to their own, and whatever works best.

    What does that tell you?...

    It tells you that MAC OS is designed ONLY to run onselect set of hardware Approved by Apple.... unlike other OS's



    By the way... I have Mac OSX running in a virtual machine on a PC... so it can be done.




    I'm not pro or against MAC... I work with MAC OSX, a variety of Windows versions and several Linux variants on a daily basis... so all the mud slinging makes me giggle..

    They all have their strengths and weaknesses... and just like most other things in life what is right for me will not be right for someone else.

    One of the developers at work... creates and publishes electronic music as a hobby (In fact he is making a nice little earer out of it).. He also works all day on MS Dot Net developement and SQL databases.

    MAC is perfect for his music work.... but no so much use for his developement work.

    He has just bought a Mac Book Pro and runs his development environment inside VMware....

    For all those PC lovers that hate MACs... I have to say... it is VERY impressive what can be done with this thing..

    Even contemplated one my self..... the I looked at the price and realised my new high end Dell Precision cost me about $1700 less ( his is 17" and mine is 15"... but I travel enough that 17' would become a problem )

    Now.. to sit back and watch the battles continue..

    Of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most

    Yeah... whatever.

    I work in it on windows every day. I come home to my mac and it's a pleasure to use. And I don't have to put up with viruses ... spyware.. and my favourite - the yearly OS re-build.

    It is expensive, but it's high end hardware. My mate was sitting next to me with his dell laptop the other day. The screen on my mac laptop is several shades brighter and clearer.
