Macs

Re: Macs

YES YES YES MACS FTW!!!!!!

*apologizes for caps lock abuse*

I can make a list:

1. Macs are less of a target for viruses.
2. Macs have better graphics.
3. Macs freeze less often, and when they do, they often recover quickly.
4. Apple provides better customer service.
5. Macs have Dashboard, iMovie, Photo Booth, and GarageBand. 'Nuff said.

Re: Macs

I like Macs because there format is way simpler and cooler, and they (like someone else said) are less likely to get viruses. But the Mac I have is a 5 year old G4, and has a processor of 800 MH.  neutral  Kinda sad. But it works.

Most of the time I'm online I'm using my school computer, an HP (don't know the model) with XP.

Re: Macs

Windows XP, but I'm planning on installing a dual-boot of Ubuntu 10.10 on my secondary hard drive. No Macs though. I can't say I'm a fan.

6. So? It's just an installer...
7. fair enough, but that's not an advantage over Windows by any means.
5.5. (?) It's not that big of a deal... Linux has workspaces, which are awesome!  big_smile
8. You can't really list games as an advantage of Macs.  tongue

Re: Macs

6. But windows can't open them.
7. People say Macs can't, so that's one reason, they can open tar gz files along with others and exe, and windows can't open a lot.
5.5-Yeah, but this is Macs vs. Windows. Linux can come later. Linux is awesome too, I know that. Right after I get it installed. And macs also have spotlight. PS. I could not live without expose or dashboard, I use it almost every half hour i'm on the computer.
8. Built-in O_O Also Star wars, and others.
1. (from tigerkidcub) Yes, there has not been any major breakout of mac viruses ever, and windows get infected by viruses so much, you might as well buy a new computer every time it gets infected.
9. Many great apps are on Macs. LIKE TODOS!!!! AND OFFSHOOTS! AND QUICKSILVER! AND BUILT IN CHESS! AND N_v1.4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I think windows has that one too... Omindazzle! iCursor! Wraparound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FTW! Wraparound is what I need every day, what I use everyday.


@antimony-this was originally just for me against windows users, and to see who uses macs, but it doesn't matter that it changed.

But for 4, most people believe that is true, like not just him but the public.

10. Mac OS is only put on Apple computers, while Windows is put on almost any kind of computer, so apples are just like... trusted... or like... universal, and are not different from one another.

Re: Macs

Alright...  Macs VS Windows Debate:

Mac's
1.  Not as many viruses
2.  Better Graphics
3.  Mac's freeze less often, and recover quickly when they do

Mac's
*1.  This may be true, but what happens when everyone transfers to Macs?  More viruses will be made for macs then!

*2.  Not necessarily!  While it may be thought that Mac's have better graphics, it actually has to do  with the graphics card!  This is why X-box And PS3 have better graphics than wii, as well!

*3.  This is so not true!  While your windows might freeze more often than a mac, mine doesn't!  If it does, maybe think about cleaning your pc (and use msconfig to stop programs running @ start up

This is it for now!

Scratch on!


Hey.  It's me SSSS, back from the dead!  smile
