Stay on your PC

Most of the punkass dolts about nowadays have either recently switched from Windows, or are dual-booting, using RPM to install their KDE and then boasting about using Unix and complaining that what really needs to be accepted is a better, easier, GUI with Office applications.

Well. Linux does _not_ need that, never has, and they have never needed you. Likewise with Apple. Please, please, stay off of that computer. We\'d like to keep you people on x86 and believing that your \'70\'s era instructions really do rock, and so does IDE and shitty BIOS. Linux deals with this stuff nicely - a tribute to the cleverness and ingenuity of people all over the world to not only produce great quality, but do so with sub-par components.

Apple provides great consumer quality. And Sun and *BSD provide great commercial quality - as do some carefully chosen Linux options. If you like that quality, then go get it. If you don\'t, stay with x86 and keep jacking yourself off about one kind of motherboard, and one instruction set, and no alternatives. You can continue to hold your myopic views and not bother the rest of us with your burdensome anti-logic.

There are hobbyists who work with what they have and not with what they can\'t afford, and then there are those who consistently buy shit like Intel boxes and Windows who remain stupid enough to drive gear down to commodity prices for the rest of us. Thank you, but please, stay where you are.

I thought Apple ditched SCSI for IDE?

they DID...

Starting with G3s Macs moved to cheaper IDE...the same guy that was complaining about PC users spouting trash is spouting incorrect facts himself.

In other news, I am a PC lover - BUT...I am buying a Titanium G4 because it is a wonderful machine. Simple. I\'ve always been a unix man, so being able to tinker on a command line level is often nicer and easier than using a gui...I also love the instant results of a Mac...

Unfortunately I never felt that you could immerse yourself too much in the mac\'s OS environment, where I could on a PC. Hopefully that has changed with the new OSx.

Two things that annoy me: OSx doesnt allow for a change in window managers like linux would, and I\'m not sure I will be able to get used to having programs just dumped in the / directory (at least that\'s how it is on my buddy\'s computer...maybe he\'s just an idiot)

''and I'm not sure I will be able to get used to having programs just dumped in the / directory (at least that's how it is on my buddy's computer...maybe he's just an idiot)''

He probably is. An app on OS X is an icon with a 'wrapper' underneath. Just take the icon (prog) and put it where you want. Apps are not confined to certain folders, etc

And if you don't want the app, just drop it in the trash
