lol. here we go... pc users just cant help it! I wonder why they read threads about macs? They just wish they could afford our machines.. lol.

i7 win7 64 in bootcamp just the hd4850 (off top of head - not on it now). Runs ok but I need to work on the resolution for the 27inch screen.

Well unfortunately we have to delve into the dark side every now and then, just be thankful that we haven't got DX on the Mac OS and have to suffer with OpenGL as it would show up most PC's to be the mongrels they are....

Why would I want to over pay for my hardware??? I like my money and I think Steve Jobs has enough already. Only difference now with mac and pc is the os and price for components. PC cost less for the same mac equivalent. If you own a mac and want to run mainstream software you have to run a windows shell so what is the point. Mac has the nice WALLED in garden so you cant do the same as with PC. And typically, pc builders are smarter than mac users.
Case closed!

Because:

- it's so cool "being part of it"
- they are made of aluminum and glas
- Macs are idiot proof, whenever they fail, they sell it as a feature
- they dont have edges[just like the users]
- they are made of aluminum and glas - have I already mentioned they are incredibly cool?

Take a look at the mac homepage - what do reckon? They don't mention the tech specs of product, but the cool looks and the fact the use Al and glas.

The product itself is just overpriced, but it's the users I feel really sorry for.

Over 'n out.

I had to laugh at the "but the cool looks and the fact the use Al and glas.".
reminded me how how simple babys are to please, just jiggle something shinny in front of them and they stop crying and play with the shiny aluminum

I'm guessing that while you were still in nappies I was building PC's when it was still very much a dark science, so don't give it all the 'smarter than thou' crap.
Mac users use the platform generally because they'd more rather be using their equipment than delving into the insides trying to suss out wtf the burning smell is coming from....

NOW the case is closed.

Sorry but I have building PC's and such since the early 90's. Todays Macs are PC's running a locked down proprietary OS is all. They dont run any better than PC's they just cost more for no real reason other than to make people think they are getting something superior which they arent.
