Yes
I like Macintosh because it is Fast, Looks gorgeous, Does what you want it to do when you want (unlike windows)
Ok there is compatibilty issues but nothing that stops me.
That are expensive but the amount of money my family have spent fixing pc's we could of got a quad G5 with 2GB ram.
I dont like the way that windows seems to slow down after time??
Also the look discusting i think personly.
The only Microsoft product I have enjoyed using is the Xbox/Xbox 360

i personally abhor macs, and i don't know why anyone would want that kind of incompatibility. they're also expensive. and they can't run halflife, and consequently Counterstrike, and they also can't run 3Ds Max. oh and most of the world uses pc's so why bother?

You do realize you can post a survey-style thread, right?

I second Major Burns' vote for 'n'. Macs suck. Windows is so much easier to use, and if you use a Mac and it never crashes, then what breaks will you get? I mean, when my Windows crashes, it's like a reminder to get up and have a smoke, stretch the legs and grab a drink. What do Mac users do all day, just sit there without taking breaks?

Use Linux....you'll have more time to do the other things in life when you can't get something working because you need to configure it manually or it wasn't compiled in the kernel.

No.

Seriously.

I mean it.

I used to, back in the System 7 - OS 8 days, but not anymore. These days, I kind of think the Mac OS sucks. It's just that it sucks significantly less than the alternatives, making it relatively awesome.

In any case, all I really care about is the design of the OS. Not the looks, but the functional design.

Also, Microsoft is evil, as has been proven time and time again, both in and out of court.

(This post is more serious than you might think.)

Yeah, I sometimes wish I could just get an iBook G3/500 or something with OS 9 on it. I could write my stories in SimpleText - no problem. Then again, I'd probably install Tiger on it and use TextEdit, since I'd sorely miss the Mac OS X look & feel by now.
