its not about aesthetic looks or having to inflate my own self worth, my 3 previous pc's didnt work out for me so i tried out a mac and it has worked perfect for me for over 6 years without one crash. thats all there is to it. to me thats worth the extra cost of a mac and i would gladly pay that extra again in a heart beat.
if a pc is for you and they work for you, thats awesome. honestly if my pc's would have worked for me i would have never gone to mac.
That's fine, I have no problem with Macs. I did not mean to imply you personally in my earlier comments, however it is what I have observed in the majority of Mac users I have encountered. I personally can't use Apple products but I know plenty of people who love theirs, however the majority of them are under the impression that owning one somehow makes them better than us PC owning plebes. I'd use OSX on a PC myself if I could as it's not a bad OS, just prohibitively expensive. The only problem for me is Apple products won't work for me. I used to have a friend who had used Apples his entire life and I'd use his Mac when I was over at his house, well try to anyway. One day while trying to check my email in a period of 15 min it froze on me about 7 times, rebooted itself twice and made that carcrash noise and turned itself off 3 times. He could even tell when I came over because more often than not as soon as I walked in the door his Mac would crash. About 6 or 7 years later I tried to give Mac a try again. I bought one used off of ebay. About 3 weeks later UPS still showed it in transit from Kali. SO I call UPS to ask them WTF?
My package never arrived from Kali.
The UPS truck never arrived.
The truck went off the road.
The truck rolled over.
The truck caught on fire and burned down.
The universe makes it clear to me that I cannot use Apple products.
I don't mind the OS that much even if you can't right click or eject a disc with just the push of a button. What I don't like are the $80 they charge for a $20 stick of memory, or the $200 they charge for a $60 HD, or the $400 they charge for an $80 motherboard. Their business model is that of a Monopoly and why I predict Android phones taking over the iFones market share in the next few years. The best thing they ever did was drop IBM chips and switch to Intel. That alone opens up a whole new market segment that would gladly use their OS but prefer not to spend $5K on a $1500 piece of hardware to use it. The wide variety of hardware available to PC's does cause problems and conflicts, however it is also the reason for their majority market share.
