Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 04, 2005 Well, which do you prefer? apple computers or microsof OS based computers. I do not currently own an apple, but my dad does and i have to say that they are absolutely sick. no probs, easy to use, stunning graphics...all the goodies so for me, apple all the way. its going to be my next comp.

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 06, 2005 I recently bought myself the iMac G5...and I have fallen in love with Mac's.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 07, 2005 nice..arent they sweet to use? what do you like most about them?

Whisky Posts : 1138 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 07, 2005 Apples are cool except it took them forever to bring out. GASP* the 2 button mouse.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 ^ya, i always wondered about that. but it seems that it did fine without the 2 button mouse.

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 It's technically always been a two button mouse, because there's a button on the keyboard that makes it like a "right-click" But the reason I love mine so much, is how everything flows together so well. It's so smooth, everything works perfectly, and there's so many wicked, user-friendly features for it. Plus the fact that mine's a 20-inch flatscreen monitor helps with my love of it too ;)

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 ^oh, well than that solves the 2 button mouse issue. but ya, a G5 and a 20 incher cinema display must have been huge bucks. did u do any RAM or VGA upgrades to it? what do you do with all that power anyways? CAD work? music?

Whisky Posts : 1138 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 Apple did just release the 2 button mouse alittle while ago. I prefer 2 buttons. I was using a diff computer the other day. It didnt have a scroll wheel it just about drove me through the roof. It makes me love my computer that much mroe everytime i use someone elses.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 08, 2005 ya, scroll wheels are the bomb. i was just reading Macworld today and the new imac G5 looks super duper. i mean it is tight. the entire computer is just one display. it all fits into the slim monitor. it has abuilt in web cam too. you guys should check it out. I WANT!

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 09, 2005 Yeah, that's what my iMac is...minus the webcam. And I got all the full upgrades. 2gb RAM...the works. As for what I do with it....I run Final Cut, and I edit videos, and I also am recording my band/bands with it, and mixing it all. Everything I got with it set me back about 3,500 dollars Canadian.

the_stooge Posts : 18 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 09, 2005 I used to use Windows. I was 1 of the losers. Now i use Macintosh. It makes me cool. In fact, it made me gay. p.s. post is a joke shitting on Macintosh. I am not gay in any way or form

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 10, 2005 ^ronky, do u really notice the difference with that much RAM?

Authority26 Posts : 330 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 10, 2005 I use windows because the majority of people uses windows therefore it does not cause a problem when i send someone something.

easyc Posts : 1203 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 12, 2005 i gots a mac mini. im totally sold on macs. theres never a problem with them, theyre totally radical in every way possible. the OS is much easier to use. EVERYTHING is a drag and drop! also, i have a two button mouse with a scroll wheel, it was cheaper to buy then the regular apple mouse with only the one button. its third party mind you, but who really cares about that??

RoNkyCoffin Posts : 49 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 12, 2005 Posted by: Aras_Tamoliunas ^ronky, do u really notice the difference with that much RAM? Oh, it makes a world of difference. Especially with video editing/caching video/song editing. It's definately worth the extra money if you're planning on using it for the same thing I do.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 12, 2005 i used to think the same thing, authority. however, with the lates Apple OS, you can access any windows file or use almost any program without even having to buy Virtual PC. and even if u dont have the latest OS, Virtual PC always works. Compatibility isnt really a problem anymore folks..wake up and smell the wonderful coffee, and ok, i guess for Video Editing, large amounts of Ram are important. but for normal day to day applications, i dont think it makes too big of a difference...especially not in gaming..yet.

easyc Posts : 1203 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 13, 2005 the only thing i dont like about my mac, is that i dont have a stock solitaire, or paint program. i also really dont like the word editing software. text edit just doesnt so it for me. then again, i also really dont like microsoft word. oi! whats a brutha to do!

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 13, 2005 solitaire is for babies. Free Cell is for real men sir. and Word does suck. I actually prefer Apple's comperable product. and btw, the new OS pachages include a stock paint program.

easyc Posts : 1203 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 13, 2005 maybe i just cant find it. bahaha. i know little about computers. although im pretty positive my computer DOESNT have paint.

thillesheim1 Posts : 2 OFFLINE	Posted on Dec 30, 2005 web browsing and word processing, i prefer windows. but as for video editing and anything with graphics mac is the way to go. I recently sold my dell and bought a power boook. best choice i ever made.

Aras_Tamoliunas Posts : 1369 ONLINE	Posted on Dec 30, 2005 web browsing? what do you use, Internet Explorer? you can use that on an Apple. every browser on a PC you can use on a MAC. you should know that. web browsing on a MAC is one of the best things about it. its so damn secure...dont even have to worry about all those annoying Virueses..as much anyways.

MiracleBlue Posts : 90 ONLINE	Posted on Mar 30, 2006 My goodness, no one has even bothered to mention Linux here. You can use all browsers on a Mac that you can on a PC, can you? I can tell you one thing, let's see a relatively new user use Konqueror on Mac OS without eating your procesor whilst simultaneously running Quartz/Aqua and an X server with KDE 3.3 =P They have to set it up themsleves too. You have to have had quite some experience before you learn how to do that ^^ But I love Macs. However, I'll be honest. I'm a Linux guy.

Untitled_Skater Posts : 17 ONLINE	Posted on Aug 15, 2006 Mac's multitask so well. Been using Mac's all my life. Down with MS!

Authority26 Posts : 330 ONLINE	Posted on Aug 17, 2006 Mac for multimedia stuff except games. Mircosoft works better with games.
