My Month With XP.

**azosx** · June 20th, 2002, 04:48 PM

I'm fairly sure the only people who would use a $ for the letter s and change acronyms like XP into words like "Xtra Pain" are children. It's pointless to feed into such a person's insecurities about their hardware and software, let alone themselves. To think and behave with the mentality of a 12 year old is no way to get your point across.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but there's no reason they shouldn't beable to express themselves without being rude and obnoxious.

I have 2 PCs, 2 Macs, a Sun SPARC, a NeXT Cube and a Tadpole. If I had to pick just one to use for the rest of my life, I'd rather not have a computer. Anyone naive enough to believe one platform is better geared than any other at everything is an idiot.

*Bubbajim turns gas stove in back corner on... leaking gas everywhere*

Just wanted to help in cleaning out this thread. Mac users please step to the right wall and pc users step to the left wall. We'll sort this all out.

Now we want a clean fight here. Only debate if you know how. Give good clean consice information about what you know. Do not flame. If I didn't mentioned clearly... do not flame. If you flame you will ignite the gas billowing in the background and will cause quite a mess in here and I don't plan to scrape your body parts of the floor and walls.

Ok.. now shake hands and come out fighting fair.

NOW.. back to our regularly scheduled show....

To throw my 2cents into the pot, I would have to say that every single Operating System has it's problems. No one should be proud. To the users that have constant problems with their machines, my condolences.To the users that have no problems and all, you should be more supportive of the latter half and not just poke and prod them because they have these problems and it must be because of the sucky system they are running.

I could spend a month debating this, but I only have to spend a day on each OS to tell everyone that each system needs a lot of work and that there is much to do before everything is stable.

Peace... and please, can't we all just get along?

I was about to come in here and say something official sounding but you already said it so well.

Well said, I just decided that I'd rather stay out of the conversation altogether. Too many fanatics on the Mac platform. It's hard to fight a 'war' (even though I never declared war nor intended this to be a debate), when you have a few hundred Mac users for every PC user on this board. It's pointless.

Yes, sir! I am a children and that's why I NEVER told anyone that he is an idiot EVEN when someone was, like you labeled me...

You see, children do not use bad words because mammy tells them so... Don't you have a mammy or she never cared for your behavior? Regardless your answer I have 3 PCs, 1 Mac, 1 Amiga and MANY other machines that I was lucky to get rid of them unlike you! As for sticking with one platform only that's an easy one: Get a Mac and then YOU will get a life... Because only a Mac is enough even for Musicians, Programmers, Internet users, Movie makers, etc-etc, but hey: What do they know, huh? You know better than they do, don't you?

Finally, I bet that most PC users tend to use other machines too: Amd boxes, Intel boxes, VIA boxes, etc. but when it comes to even talk for a Mac or a Sun or anything non-Intel/Amd inside, they stand tall and mighty about their boxes as the Anihil-something guy and reject the Mac at once... So don't talk about being able to express "themselves without being rude and obnoxious" to me, right?

hulkaros, what exactly is it you do with you Mac, other than to use it to flame in Mac forums?

There are no fanatics here mate, only people who saw the light and chose to jump to the bright side of the Force...

From the beginning you were wrong: You chose to pick a flame war in a Mac-related Forum and if this was not enough you started it on the wrong location: This is a "Mac News & Rumors Discussion" and NOT My Xtra Pain is better than your Mac OS X discussion groups...

Thank God that you are out of this war because now it will end!

And you know what? Is not over because that here are TOO many Mac users but because lusers (aka losers but never users) like yourself you don't have enough positive feelings about your box... Whereas we the Mac Addicts for every argument that you may have about your box, we can EASILY find 2 wrongs for it: That's why we had a Mac in the first place!

I use it to burn CDs...
Burn DVDs...
Burn Pentium IVs...
And last but not least: Burn trolls who pick a flame war in all but the wrong places: Look at the title of this Forum: Does it say anywhere "Mine is better than yours" thing? Nope! It says Mac News & Rumors Discussion
