Pachyderm said:This is why I tell people to get MACs. You load the computer, takes about 15 seconds, it goes to the main screen where all your stuff on the desktop is loaded. If you delete something, it's completely gone, where as in a PC the program you have inbeds itself into your system taking up memory. Things are so much easier on a mac. Use one for a week then switch back to PC, you'll get so frustrated.
Look, windows does suck ass. I'll be one of the first to admit that. But MAC's suck even more. Now before you hit quote and reply to that, read up.. If you are using your PC for anything video related (IE: video editing, creating, etc..) or HIGH end graphic work (IE: creating mystical photos of magic fairies and flying ships, no peterpan pun intended, or a poweruser of photoshop) then MAC is the way to go. But only because they are so much more powerful in doing such things. ANYTHING ELSE use a windows PC. And as for the windows 2000 upgrade taking 15 days.. I hope you formatted the drive and not just upgraded from 98.. or you will have major issues sooner or later. Trust me, that is how File Systems work. MaxPower knows what I'm talking about.Pachyderm said:I am in an art school and I do use my computer for graphic arts. My computer has a lot of memory and speed to it. I agree that the lack of software made by others totally sucks, I can't get games or programs unless it's made by MAC. But if you aren't a computer nerd and you don't plan on trying to figure out all the bugs in Windows you should use MACs. There are virtually no viruses or popups. Everything takes seconds to load. It's very user friendly. Windows sucks ass.
I've loaded all manner of Windows software 100's of times, and have seen little problems with the installs.MaxPower said:I've loaded literally hundreds of machines with several versions of windows including NT server, 2000 server and now 2003 server. I can count on one hand the number of times I've had an install issue. Why is it that I can do this for my company and other companies, flawlessly, and yet I always hear people whining?

Bwahaha MaxPower.. like I've said before, you r0ck..MaxPower said:Oh and believe me,I could hurt some people with my erection.
Pachyderm said:That was my exact point, you don't have to be a nerd to use MAC, it's easy to use. I don't know anything about computers, and MaxPower can try to impress me with his vast knowlege of PC terms, but I don't care. I also have a PC. I don't have any trouble with my MAC crashing or getting viruses. I am a happy camper, and I don't plan on mastering the technology that is the PC anytime soon.
