Oh yeah that second one is years old. I remember seeing that maybe 5 or 6 years ago in high school! Still good though =)

My all time favorite is still: Mac Gamer

not meaning to be a mac hater, because if we are dragn will shut down the forums and kill the game servers and hire hitmen for all of us...but **** it.

Sid that's two anti-mac posts in 1 day. you looking for a new computer?

no sir. i work on pc's. yes you can do all the video and audio work on pc's that you can do on mac. mac people just don't want to admit it. i don't have any problems with macs, i think they're very well built pc's(yes i did say pc's because that's what they are now that they run on the intel platform).

Macs were PCs before Intel by definition. You just don't call your Lexus a car, you call it "The Lexus"

Yes, You're paying for brand and quality (compared to say, a Ford Focus/Dell Inspiron).

Brand yes you paying out the ass for a Mac.
Quality ?
I got news for you that Apple does not make hard drives motherboards dvdrw or CPUs.
What they do is charge you double sometimes triple what the average joe blow can buy the same components for a PC .
They design the case and that is about it.
The only thing unique about Macs is their OS which is fuctional to say the best,
Limited is more like it. If Microsoft did not do Office for Macs in the early days I would doubt they would be in existance.
I put Mac users more in the realm of followers of the Church of Sciencetology
in terms of their rabid devotion to the brand name.
If they are so great why they make up less than 6 per cent of the computers out there?

This is like shooting fish in a barrel:
Macbook Price to Dell
Macbook Pro vs Dell Comparison

And for Quality, go put a plastic Inspiron next to a MacBook Pro... close the lid and twist... which one makes cracking noises and flexes from slight pressure? The Dell...

NO ONE makes all their own parts. Computers, Cars, Boats, even book cases and BBQs are all just assembled. And they only design the case? Go look at an iMac PCB or the Macbook Air, even the Mac Pro. Thats some of the best component engineering in the business - rivaling Sun Microsystems which is pretty darn high on the list.

And please, let's not compare OSX to Vista. Any of the Macs can run the beast... but the most customers are running from it. How about MacBook Pro being the fastest Vista Laptop available? Why does Microsoft sell Mac versions of office? Maybe because 20% of Office sales are to Mac users and Microsoft made Office products for Mac before Windows versions.

Oh yeah, Apple sales were up 14% of units sold last month and 25% of dollar shares. That means for every $1 spent on PC sales in the country, Apple saw $0.25 of that.

Why aren't they they most common thing out there? Cause the average US family income is less then $50,000 and 20% of the country earns less then $25,000. If they are lucky enough to buy a computer they are in the sub-$600 market. And that doesn't get you a Lexus/Cadillac/Lincoln/InsertFavoritePremiumBrandHere (notice the underlining).

Church of Scientology comparison? You sound like an Islamic Extremist lumping togeher things you don't understand. Don't be a jealous hater, I know you're better then that!
