Ok for starters Apple has NEVER taken a beige mac and turned it into a colorful mac, the first color mac was a iMac, ahh was there beige iMacs no no no. Then the B&Ws where made with poly carbonate not plastice and there was not one that was beige before that was the first of its kind. Now the sword has 2 edges, in the PC world Compaq has stolen the idea of color computer from Apple and incorporated it into their Presarios, they even have other faceplates that you can interchange with! Now Sony has turned all of their lines of VAIO desktop PCs into purple colored desktops ahh hmm looks like they are the ones changing than us. Who on the other hand has time to develope a flash? An idiot with no time on his hands, bad web designer at that. I am glad to see everywhere I look a mac, on MTV a iMac in a commercial, a iBook on Will and Grace, SE and //c in the new Travis video, and the Pink Floyd lead signer with a G4 noticable during Music Legends on VH1 this rocks macs where the first and they will be the last. As you can read im ticked I just might have this guyz page redirected to apple.com, who is with me just say the words o great ones hehe.jeremy "I keep my friends close, but I keep my enemies closer"

ditto,
Those most vocal in bashing or praising one OS or another are just displaying their ignorance about computers in general.IMHO

At least they did not say that Macs can't display resolutions higher than 256 greys, to quote someone I know in person who thinks Macs suck. I am not kidding... AnubisTTP

Ooooh I had a rant I near put on my pages, over just those kind of people - and restrained myself because I ended up bashing amiga owners ... so it's gone. however... back in the way early 90's, one model of amiga with a 040 processor could apparently emulate macOS a little faster than a Q950 - apple's fastest... in some tests, and that was an infamous moment for amigas.. "Amigas can emulate a mac faster than the fastest mac". I imagine it was true for a few months until 840's or PPC cards came out, anyhows. The funny thing? I was told once I should stay with Amigas because "An Amiga can emulate macOS faster than the fastest mac..." - And this was in early 2000!. Yes... they're really pushing those amigas now if they can run quicker than 500+Mhz G4's... dana (ranting - nothing against the hardware, just the people who choose to be blind)
:D

Everyone has a bias of some sort, a belief that the person cannot accept is flawed, no matter how erroneous. My brother-in-law, for example, loves Windows. He grew up on it, and a PC was first computer. A bias towards Windows was practically carved into his brain. When I showed him my ibook, he said, "What, only on mouse button?! This thing sucks." Some people are just narrow-minded.

I have a way of preventing myself from getting that way... as much as I love my macs, I don't -quite- worship them. I'll stick by my first rule of computing. They all suck. That being said, when a school headmistress brought an iBook into work to have it setup for her network (and me being the only mac tech there) I opened it... and the first comment out of the young PC tech's mouth was "A white keyboard? that's a bit stupid" seriously Then he went back to his workstation with... a white keyboard. oooh. To be honest, I noticed the keyboard was white also - which was a little unusual for a laptop, and nothing more. dana (really I'd rather a white keyboard with the amount of time I type in the dark :)

Words of wisdom, Dana! For a brief tine in history, PC graphics (type-postscript outlines) outclassed everything on the Mac. There has never been a point in time where I haven't lamented missing features (on EVERY platform) that were available in other operating systems.They all suck, they're all just tools (toys), use whatever it takes to get any given job done, and have fun! as for typing in the dark:

Oh my lord... Yes, I think that'd help a -little- :) I was thinking a white LED or two, directed downwards from around the 'imac' label on the imac. I've seen a laptop or two (perhaps vaio's?) with that feature... dana

sleep might help.....a little......*what the hell time is it down under?* My coherence/psychotic behavior ratio seems to be related to my sleep/wake ratio in some way. Testing the hypothesis it might cut down on playtime. *maybe when I have some free time*

Have you ever heard of the song "Every OS SUCKS" by Three Dead Trolls in a Baggie? You can get it for free at mp3.com, it's pretty funny.

p.s. the other stuff is way too negative, and maybe more tongue in cheek than first meets the eye, but i've been known to be wrong.Edited by - Trash80toG-4 on 27 Jan 2002 18:45:02 |
