*kicks mac across room screaming* my mate has one and he's the smuggest bastard in the world till i ask him to play some games...

Funny how things change. When I got my first Mac around 1990 one of my Computer Department workmates scoffed "Macs! Oh they're alright if you want to play games! No good for serious work (except desktop publishing.)"

I wish I'd never installed games on mine through there...Can't get the family members off Warcraft or Age of Empires or Age of Mythology or whatever else is on their current favourite list. (Has anybody here played "Villagers"?)

No, but I've been known to be quite good at playing "Doctor"

*looks at his Mac and smiles*

You're Keeker's new best friend. She keeps chiding me to get a Mac.

Even I must admit they are far from perfect. Yet. But then on the new ones you can, if you want, run Windows and Linux alongside. Big enough HD and you can have 3 OSs in one box. I know somebody insane enough to do this.

Hehehe, then you might like Villagers!

yeah, if it's gonna lock up, at least you can kill a process successfully at almost all times, unlike windows

It amuses you while you wait! It makes you feel like the program is actually doing something and making progress, when in reality the little electronic beasty-kins that make your computer go round and round are probably out the back having a fag. The illusion that everything is working well!

Trust me, if there was no endlessly refilling blue bar then you would have smashed your head off the desk repeatedly instead of watching the screen.

Yaarp.

damn you Microsoft! using your stupid blue bars to distract us and waste our time staring at a screen thinking something is happening, slowly turning us into zombies instead of allowing us to fulfill our desire of doing something more interesting while we wait.

I'm trying to decide whether I was sarchastic or not there =/.

One of the best things I've ever seen, was Windows running on Qemu. A virtual machine with windows, click the little "X" on the right top and Windows is gone!!!

Biert you really have to stop stealing my underwear and that black wig just doesn't suit you!

I don't have that kind of cellulite and you know it, Keeker

lol I don't get this whole macs are awesome thing. We use them at uni for audio processing (Pro Tools, Logic, etc.) and they crash/hang/error message/kick and break from fustration just as much as a windows based machine.

Thats cause you aren't stroking them properly :O
