i was gonna say the same thing

lots of stuff is plug n' play, no questions asked, no drivers or control software needed

My friends mac freezes all the time, and it's one of the newer models...so I don't think so

too general

what model? when doing what? etc.

i've had mine lock up to the gray screen once, otherwise its been great when installing a new hard drive and ram

this thread fails hard.

opinion is opinion. get over it.

the only thing is that more often than not Mac users are the ones trying to get Windows users to change their opinion. Instigating an argument, then the other person has no choice but to argue their case. Of course there are excpetions, as with anything, but I do get the feeling some Mac users feel high and mighty over others because of the 'prestige' of owning a Mac. If someone changes their mind about Mac vs. PC, it's because of them, not you. I've never seen a more petty and pointless thread than this. Even if it was a joke, they know full well what the backlash of such a statement is. Now everyone, get over yourselves and realise truly that in someone's mind, the deciding factor is them and not your lame ass attempt to force them to change their mind.

Good day.

[robin1989]

yeh that statement was a bit general. and i know macs do freeze up sometime mine has many times the difference is my mac hasnt frozen or up fatealy but my windows pcs have. the couple of times my mac has frozen it has been my own fault i was running 6 active desktops about 400 tabs in safari another 50 in firefox, msn, mail app, itunes(massive library), loads of widgits i was batch zipping a load of files unraring a load at the same time i was scanning photos in in iphoto with word and excell documents open  my download manager open (downloading further rara files) and i was doing all this whilst having premiere and photoshop open. it lasted a few hours before it said you im tired to me so i wasnt to bothered by it as i had saved most of my work and files i think

nope no shenanigans - i admit i didnt open it all at once but it is what built up over the course of a couple of days. even ask dhruv he knows i have regularly had open several hundred tabs. it happens because i cant concentrate one thing for very long so i jump from task to task

Windows - make money with autocad, animation, CNC machine, programming, cheap, lightweight, incredibly compatible. Mostly straight user base.

Mac - o lolol i edit vidz and pix and stuffz olol and fotoshopz lulz durdahur i want my computer to be fun and all purdy lookin and i wanna spend $2000 on a laptop that has the same specs as a 900 windows runner

H-Sauce: Keep it clean. I only put up facts, no need to mock. Opinions are opinions, but you don't have to be an ass about it.

i don't appreciate that attitude
there's something called tolerance; you don't have to accept peoples choices but the least you can do is tolerate it, so don't be a

im fine that people prefer and use pcs, i just so happen to use a mac

Wow, I put this thread up as a joke.

Its getting pretty funny how everyone gets so defensive over 1s and 0s.

You argue that they are expensive. If more people bought them regularly then they would be cheaper. Buy in bulk, get things cheaper. Anyone should know that.
Why don't they sell more? Cos they last a hell of alot longer. My Neighbour has a G4 thats like 7 years old. Runs Leopard like he got it brand new yesterday.

A windows PC slows down after 2 years. And there is no way in hell a 7 year old PC would run Vista.

Nuff sed people.

[jacobia jacob]

most consumers dont buy things in bulk. your theory is wrong, thats not how supply and demand works. most people buy one at a time. if significantly more people were buying macs apple would see that as increased demand and therefore might raise their prices as such, depending on how many more people were buying them. i can promise you though that the prices would not go down. apple is out to make money, just like every other company

So if I ordered one right now, they would hand make every part?
Or would they have a bunch of them already?
Firing up the factory because of 1 order for a Mac Mini. That would cost them more.

[budgray19]

listen
this is how the demand curve is

u dont make much sales prices go down
but if theres a high demand prices go up
