You really should … esp w/ OSX, which is now the most stable and versatile OS on theee planet … basically it’s another flavor of UNIX …I find that most detractors are in that class not unlike the guys that put the stickers of that kid peeing on the _other_ brand - most of whom are barely likely to qualify for an opinion much less criticism :sure: ---

Heh, i like the stickers of the guy peeing on stuff. I’ve got nothing against macs. I just don’t like them cause they can’t do what I use computers for. They’ve only got about a dozen good games you can play. Plus, I’m just so windows oriented, that I prob. couldn’t use them. Gates has me for life I think. ---

:beam: Yeah he’s a cute lil’ guy and funny too, but methinks that most pipples that put him there know next to nothing about the product they are dissing - and only do it because all there buds say so… …that was my pernt * * * :!: And so the belGatesabub owns you 😉 * * * … I know not and care not for games so can’t personally vouch for it there (tho I’ve heard contrary)… admittedly would be less than windows but “12” sounds a bit exagerated but…whatever floats yer boat =) ---

> Never got the entire “OS X” thing, why can’t they just name it simple, like, 98, 20000, or 2003??? Or XP, or NT, or ME or something… 😛 X = 10 in roman numerals OS X = OS 10 Not very hard to figure out as Mac OS HAs gone from one through nine before the release of OS X. Easy peasy. 🙂 -M ---

I have nothing against Macs… It looks to be a nice computer. I would like to try Video Editing on one, but alas I can not justify dropping $2k on a Mac just to try it out… ☹ Ahh well all you mac users have fun with it. Cheers! -Niann ---

Actually. The G5’s aren’t actually ‘faster’ than the better PC’s. I wouldn’t know why, but to me, Brett Larson’s word is law. And he said it. ---

> \*Originally posted by [mdipi.com](http://mdipi.com) \* > \*\*i agree with mario fan, i doubt they would lie like that, cause they could get false advertising up there butt. \*\* They arent really lying - they’re just trying to make things look good in their favor. Everyone does it - there was even that recent broo-ha-ha about the Nvidia tests and how they were ‘rigged’ or whatever. When companies try to make themselves look good with specs, they’ll try to make themselves look good.
