Glorious bitchslap of Apple

[UnderseaLcpl]

Either you've had a very different experience with Macs or you know a lot more about computers than I do, NS. I assume the latter is the case, but I still love my Mac.

Any PC with half decent backup software can do that. I can take my complete windows install on my laptop, and throw it on my server and have it running in 30 minutes, with games and everything. Just would need to change a few drivers. Also I seriously doubt that mac would recover from a switched motherboard from within the os unless the motherboard was identical to the first one, as that is something which can prevent the os from even starting at all.

I honestly have no idea what you're on about. All I know is that I had two PCs that suffered catastrophic Windows failures followed by a complete system failure where the damn thing wouldn't even boot up correctly. In one case, the monitor wouldn't respond. I haven't had that problem with my Mac, and it has outlived both those PCs, so I'm sticking with Mac for the time being.

What exactly can your mac do that a pc can't?

Function reliably without constant adjustment. Never crash. Be easy to use. And most of all, not ask me for permission for stupid BS all the time and not do stupid BS without my approval all the time.

For a person like me a Mac is a good thing. I like the thing because it works. I have near-zero ability in understanding anything about computers. All I know is that this s*** works. I don't know how, and I don't know why, and I don't care. The Mac was expensive, yes, but much less than the cost of the two PCs it replaced.

Number 1 reason why I have a strong dislike of Apple, I do not like companies trying to manipulate me into buying junk I don't need and then obsoleting the thing so I have to buy it again. I don't like adverts that try to sell their product using the "cool" factor, and I especialy hate hypocrisy which Apple is full of.

If you think Apple is deserving of scorn for those reasons, I have about 200 other companies you can add to your list, just off the top of my head.

I figure I must be missing something because Microsoft obsoletes it's own junk all the time. Ever seen any games that will only run on a particular Windows OS? Ever seen a Windows OS that just plain sucks from the get-go and is then supposed to be fixed by a later one to the tune of a few hundred dollars? Have you ever bought an OS with "trial" software? I have, it was called Windows Me, Xp, Vista, and I hate the heck out of all of them. OS/X was the only thing that ever gave me comprehensive and lasting functionality.

Maybe your experience has been different, NS, but I'll never buy a PC again unless Mac suddenly stops selling me stuff that works.
