I'm off now back into the ether, but thanks for replying to my questions. I hope you all get what you want out of your computers.

You would give me a G5? Woohoo! And the internet is a strange place to discuss issues, bbs boards are probably the worst place to try to get across messages because the inflection on certain parts of posts that you would hear in a face to face discussion is missing, so the whole post can...

As a quick reply to Anim8r, we do all the above but senior people in the Mac users dept can still insist on their own way of doing things, some are above me in the pecking order and historically they have always done their own thing. This is changing, and with every muck up they create, my case...

hehe, Tell that to the 20+ year olds at work who come shouting at me when they muck there OSX installs up. Not only do they insist that they can do a better job than us because they have 'always used Macs', we even give them a very detailed instruction sheets to follow, and still they just go...

erm.. it's not really an arguement is it? Your friends PC sounds like it isn't setup very well for what you tried to do. As I sit here with Bob Marley wailing in the background, a CD being burnt from an ISO image I retrieved from a terminal session to a PC miles away and perfmon running, I...

Thank you Cat, you have answered the first question admirably. I agree with the premise that things are very even now, and in fact am glad that Mac has finally given Mac users what they have needed for a long time now, a catch up to what was going on in the PC world. Competition is needed to...

PowerDVD is good, but I dislike the control center myself, personal choice. Also with the video quality, I find the 9700 much better, but then my screen is quality so I can't really compare to what I see at work (Obviously the video editing suite at work is good quality, but I cant really...

quote: The fact is TEXAS that you don't know how to properly administer a mac shop Don't tell my boss or my team! They seem to think I do, I'm happy with that. Thats why I can chose my own rate :) quote: I have run and been in shops that have huge numbers of macs as well as the "average...

OK I will start a thread to discuss points, if anyone wants to reply they can. Where on these forums would be best to discuss this kind of subject? (oh, it's only troll baiting if you get a bite :) )

Fast user switching.... wow. Playing music is far easier with an absolute plethora of jukeboxes to chose from on the PC. Copying cd's... great. Like thats a real bonus.. Playing DVD's through something like WinDVD using my ATI 9700 pro is infinitely better on my PC. Installing apps is my...

OK so the typing is atrocious, along with the spelling but English is only my second language so :p I'm in large publishing house in London (in fact you will know it if I said it, which I'm not going to) with approx 1500 Mac users, all pretty much useless at anything but editing. We are...

uh yeh.. the main problem is with the users being almost retarded. Like most Mac users they are miopic and won't even think of moving to a better faster system like pc's... To be honest with the problems with reliability that OSX has it's just like working on pc's.

It looks more to me like you lot are afraid of something. Whats with the knee jerk reactions to a bit of criticism? I have to support Macs at work but wouldn't chose one over a PC. Show me the results of a head to head with a comparable system and I may take notice, but to just flame ANY...
