I have to admit that I somewhat understand habilis. Very often, Mac OS X has an unbelievable reputation not necessarily because of a proven track record but really because Mac zealots praise it more than Jesus. If I was a true PC enthusiast and was stuck in an elevator with 5 Mac addicts, I...

I don't have an answer for you personally, but I was hoping that someone could respond and tell us both which LASER (GDI included) printer works well on all platforms.

I have a PC at home (my 15" Powerbook G4 1GHz will be here by Friday) and I have to admit that I practically never have to reboot my PC. I reboot whenever there's a critical update, but that's about it.

Wouldn't gloat with an Athlon 2200+? Why would I want to gloat? This thing still performs way more than beautifully for everything I do. In fact, it'll probably last me a couple of additional years.

I'll tell you why Halo is running slow... cause you're using a Mac!

I don't use a MAc anymore but in my six months of using only a Mac, I discovered that regardless of how many Mac users told me defragmentation was unnecessary on HFS+, it was incorrect. To keep MAc OS X performing at its best, I would firstly say that 384 megs ram is a bare minimum...

Doesn't Mail actually encore the attachments into the AppleDouble format? If that is so, the recipient should receive two attachments, only one of which should work. Andre

I just wanted to tell you guys that in anticipation of additional Matrix storylines and movies and what-not, there actually ARE plans to release a Matrix MMORPG. Nobody knows whether it will take place in between the second and third movie or somehow AFTER the third movie, but UbiSoft is...

Nevermind I figured it out. It's a highly corrupted disk partition. Andre

The iBook LCD was scratched so I got a new one since it was very distracting. I already tried the other screen again and I get the same problem. Actually, I tried it today and the keyboard works, but the trackpad doesn't. While it's booting, the Apple logo doesn't show (it remains black) but it...

I recently changed the screen on my iBook and since then, the keyboard and the trackpad are not functional. What could have caused it (I might have broken something, lemme know if I did)? Andre

See? This is the exact problem with Apple users and probably the reason Apple will eventually die. You can't acknowledge the possibility that your OS sucks. If Steve Jobs says it's magical and perfect, no matter what your experiences are, you will also say it's magical and perfect. Anyways...

The only thing I can add to this is a remark about you guys being patient. XP came out in 2001, I got my copy in September actually because I thought it was awesome. That was when I actually decided to stop pirating because I felt Microsoft deserved a pat on its corporate back for a job well...

I bought a Mac in November and sold my PC at the same time to give the Mac a fair chance. After realizing how difficult the simplest of tasks, I became frustrated. I didn't think much of it at first since I was giving the machine a chance, but by May I was fed up. It's fun to get into a folder...

I find it hilarious how whenever I look at this board, most Mac users are talking about how slow file transfers are and how things aren't smooth and this and that. Meanwhile, on Windows forums, nobody even mentions the remote possibility that XP is slow. Their only concern is getting the most...

WINDOWS XP IS A RAM HOG? Did you ever even USE OS X? OS X is not content with 128, put in 384 it's not content. Try 512 it's still not happy. Try 768, it's still not enough. Put in two gigs and finally, it alls seems to work right. With 256 megs ram, my Athlon was a speed demon. Put in 768...

Oh my god, what a coincidence. I have an Athlon XP 2200 with 512 megs ram and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and the Windows XP installation not only detects all of my hardware, it's also stable and doesn't crash. I must be the ONLY PC USER IN THE WORLD THAT HAS NO PROBLEMS RIGHT? By your statement...

Seriously, I have to admit that habilis is right about how long it takes to transfer files from one area to another on a hard drive. To move files in XP or any Windows for that matter in the same hard drive, the process will take around 2 seconds. Try with OS X, and you'll see each icon...

To say that OSX is crash-proof is a lie and ignorant. I've been using my Mac for a while and I always get scared to start a project with Microsoft Word because it always crashes on OS X. Here's where you suggest I not use Microsoft Word and try one of the many alternatives in OS X in the form of...

It's funny how nobody here will admit that XP is simply better. Once you 'cave in' and notice what programs are suddenly available to you, you start to ask questions about OS X. Also, when you notice how fast everything is, it's like the last bullet through OS X's heart. Panther can be faster...
