Another problem that ive found is that many people are exposed to mac's in school at an early age. This is not a problem but must of these kids abuse these machines (at least they did where i went) and then were shcoked when things didnt worked. So they think they are crap as they get older. I think that mac's in schools are great, but they need people who now how they work and dont simply reply "i dont know" or "it cant do that"

Yeah, I was talking with a friend one time and she said that Macs sucked based on her experience with old Apple II's (mind you, this was only a few years ago). I laughed at her, telling her that those are crap and that modern Macs are nothing like that.

It's those stupid commercials. They look like Apple commercials and draw you in, then punch you in the face and take off running. Do you tell them the differences between BMDC and iTMS?

Try a PC from the very same year and you'll what crap means ! 1st you'll have to go to the end of the Apple II era as the PC was introduced in 1981 2nd you'll have no windows (or Windows) on this PC 3rd it's not as well integrated as the Apple II And in 1984 comes the Mac !

Chevy, I know that. Apple II's weren't crap in their day, but would you use one today to get serious work done? My point was that she was comparing modern PC's to Apple II's, which is like comparing a 350Z to a horse-and-buggy. Obviously the 350Z will shred the buggy in any race. What I had to explain was that modern Macs are nothing like those old Apple II's now. I'd compare them more to a Lamborghini Diablo. Now race that against a 350Z.
