For cripes sake, enough already...geez.
I own 3 Mac's. I have owned Mac's since the days of of the Plus II. Still have the beast, too. And it works.
I prefer Mac's to PC's. All this crap about PC's being faster or better than Macs is bunk. I did a side by side comparison to prove it, years ago, with a G3 300mhz 64ram vs. a AMD 500mhz 128ram. I opened Adobe Premiere on both machines.
On the G3, it took SECONDS for it to open. Maybe 3-5 seconds, total. This includes the plug-ins and so on.
On the PC, it took 1 1/2 minutes to open it with all the plug-ins loaded.
So, enough with the mines better than yours crap. Mac's are MUCH better at memory management and processor architecture than PC's.
The only reason ppl prefer PC's is 2 fold.
1. PC's have more interchangable hardware.
2. PC's are cheaper.
That's it...
Arguments over software titles being limited on Macs is bunk, too. Macs have ALL, if not more and better, of the apps I use for my PC. Adobe, M$, Macromedia, and much MUCH more.
All of this boils down to taste, plain and simple. If you wanna browse the net for pr0n and MP3's, get a PC. If you want to do multimedia, design, or actually productive work...get a Mac.
Now, down to the GUI/Software ripping issues:
I stated that I am a long time Mac user. I also have to use PC's for some of my work.
Years ago, I was getting sick of the clumsy, oafish Win32 environment and stumbled on Ritchie Chows WinMac. It was an app that emulated the feel of the Finder, except for the PC. I was sold! Finally, I could work more easily in Windows.
Soon after, I found MacVision, a Finder bar AND skinning engine that made my Windows appear Mac-like. Praise the goddess, no more ugly ass, boring flat looking windows.
My infatuation with overcoming the faults of the Windows GUI led me, eventually, to AquaSoft where I stand by their designs and apps.
"Why?", you ask? It makes it easier for Mac users like myself to deal with the craptacular Win32 environment. I can move around with ease between my Finder.app, or consolidate my apps to the bar. I am more productive. I can get work done faster, and with less confusion.
And you know what else, my Mac-brethren? These apps your bashing wins converts. Bitch as much as you want, but people such as the grand and elusive Neyo are fine examples of _OUR_ 'Switch' campaign.
As I said, complain all you want, but what does it really accomplish? It's a waste of valuable time. You have Mac's, use them. You don't like PC's? Fine. But it's like this...if you see a program on TV that offends or upsets you do you start a letter writing campaign to end it and ruin peoples lives? No, you change the channel and go about your REAL life.
As for my fellow AquaSoft Members, I am ashamed. I cannot believe what representation we have here. It's appalling. Your all rude and need a manner check.
Never speak for me again. I'll do my own explaining.
Thank you all, and peace.
