4. Exactly. You don't get a choice of quality for different components of your system. You're stuck with one colorful box of crap, and if you want something better, you either go get a PC or throw your Mac out and buy a brand new one. With a PC, you can have the same system for YEARS, and for $80 you can upgrade the storage memory; $20 upgrade the random access memory; $85 upgrade the video card. Sure as hell beats $2000 on a brand new non-upgradeable piece of crap. That's a hefty price to pay for not wanting to learn how to plug a few (labeled) things to the back of a PC.
5. Personally, I'd rather have an Alienware PC than a Mac. But that's just a personal measure of taste (opinion).
6. Are you talking about that long strip of unlabeled icons that stretches horizontally across the screen?
7. a) I know quite a bit about Macs. I've used them since Macs were first released, all the way up through high school in my graphic arts class. b) I haven't once lied about Macs. They ARE crap.
8. Read #4 about the "hefty price."
9. And that's one very small saving grace. Oh yeah, if you run Windows on your Mac, Microsoft still owns you.
10. Actually, there's a completely separate Windows MADE for Macs, because many find the Mac OS to be too cumbersome and lame to use, so they resort to trying to make their Macs as much like a PC as possible.
MOST IMPORTANTLY: Don't take this personally. It's just I know what quality is, and that's what I choose over paying a ton of money to skip a 10-minute hook-up process and throwing away an abundance of accessibility and ease-of-use. |
1. We have been doing just fine with only one mouse button since our machines have been around.
2. The fact that Microsoft knew about a certain security flaw 3 weeks before they patched it is apalling. Since I have had my Mac (6+ months), I can count the number of security updates needed on one hand. There were more security updates needed for XP in one week.
4. You don't get a choice for quality components that are in your system. They get top line parts put in off the shelf. They also adhere to much stricter quality control standards than other manufacturers.
6. Yes, that is the Dock. It has all the icons you would see on an XP desktop, only at a higher resolution and they scale much better. Even if you dont know what the icon for Word looks like, roll your mouse over it, and its name "Microsoft Word" is revealed.
10. I literally cannot imagine anyone finding OS X cumbersome to use, but whatever. Trying to sound as unbiased as I can, I will (again) reiterate again that I am very fluent in XP, and I find OS X much easier to use and navigate. Applications do not crash, and the OS does not lock up for no apparent reason
