well, for someone who uses macs for design purposes I can guarantee you they do a better job of operating design software such as quark, illustrator, freehand etc. while pc's maybe be great for playing games and visiting websites like this or richy upsetters' online store, when it comes to design shit like rendering vector graphics and fonts they don't match apple. this is why macs are the industry standard in my field of work. when you've worked on a 400 page hi-res print document with a total file size of a couple of GB you'll see the difference... i'm not a fan of OSX by the way, whilst it points to the future i don't think the current hardware is up to speed. I still work on OS9 and love it more than BBC loves girls aloud, cider, german cars and balloons.dirtybobby said:yes! the forum's first PC vs. Mac debate
PCs are better.. tenshon, you're not objectively comparing statistics and ergonomics - you are simply used to the way Mac OS operates and thus have trouble finding the fundamentals of Windows intuitive.. i'm a massive geek, spend my whole working life in front of a computer and when i come home sit in front of one.. i owned both a PC and a G4 Mac for years, have used DOS 6.22 through windows 3.1 to Vista, and Mac OS 9.0.1 to OS X 10.1.2..
i concur wholeheartedly with rich upsetter.. from a technical point of view, the mac gave me far more grief than the PC ever did.. it used to be that certain app's were definitely stronger on the Mac (the adobe suite, and audio app's such as Cubase spring to mind).. that is no longer the case.. everything available for the Mac is available for the PC, and thanks to the stability of recent microsoft OSes they are every bit as capable (and sometimes moreso) than their Mac OS counterparts..
however, the mac has become a more viable platform now that it is intel based, and one can install windows on it thanks to bootcamp.. i'm not saying rule OS X out entirely, just that any PC without windows installed is crippled imo..
and i don't want to hear a peep from you linux fags

I had an i-pod shuffle for Christmas. It's so pretty, I love it.MISS T said:i pods are shit.
your computer is either a) shit, b) loved, or c) a combination of (a) and (b)..noir2985 said:New year, new ipod, new problems! So I got a new one because apparantly I can no longer walk somewhere without music, cos I end up, like, thinking and stuff. And that is clearly not on. Anyway, I plugged this one in and it promptly ejected itself (came up with the module that says 'you have ejected something unsafely blah blah'). And it continued to do this until I gave up about 3 hours later and manually unplugged the sodding thing. Has this happened to anyone before? When I went back home the other day it worked absolutely fine so there's nowt wrong with the thing itself, but now I'm back up north it's still doing it. I've tried reinstalling itunes, even defragging. It's driving me bananas. Any ideas?

why in the name of bill gates did you continue to buy them when they kept breaking?? you think you'd learn after your first one went tits up, but buying another one after that gave up the ghost - you must be some kind of masochist lol..Lisa said:Oh that is so true... bloody things dont last twelve months before they pack it in.
