If ya take a look at the thread title, it's why do YOU hate Macintosh's, not "why do Macs suck." I gave the reasons why *I* don't like them, not the reason why they're bad systems. I still believe everything I said to a full extent. And that Mac you listed can be built for $300 on a PC. What a ripoff. $800 is an absurd amount for such a crappy system. $800 will build a PC 3 or 4 times more powerful than the "system" you listed.

Ok, so you can right-click in OSX with a new mouse. Macs still come with the single click mouse by default...they're made for it. Right-click is a "new feature" with OSX. Windows has had right clicking since the early nineties. Earlier versions of MacOS are still hindered by this. Not to mention PC's come with a right-click capable mouse and Macs have to have an "extra option" to get something a PC comes with by default. It's simply a downside that most of the Macs on the market have no right-click on the mouse.

I want MS Office on my Mac. Not the idiot Mac-version, either. I want every option the PC version has. The Mac versions I've used of Office are dumbed down with extra windows that can be eliminated with an OS...like Windows.

Macs do have a large software base, but it's not as large as PC's. That's a problem no matter what. I can't stand having a limited software base.

I know about OSX, I use it at work everyday. The dock does make matters slightly easier, but the stupid MasterBar at the top simply hinders the speed of navigating MacOS. About the volume bar...I did this on OSX. All of my opinions are founded on OSX.

Oh, and keep the "I'm not sure you have used PCs extensively" comments to yourself. I displayed my opinion without bashing and with a knowledgable basis. If you don't think I've used PCs extensively, try me. I can throw-down with some PC talk. Degrading comments about other posters will only get ya a ticket out of this forum...I suggest an attitude improvement on isle B.

You can argue that I'm biased, but that's what this thread is about. It asks why WE don't like Macs, not why they're bad systems. I gave my opinions about every Mac I've used. I told why I don't like them.
