Im totally Loving macs! Especially OSx , and if you’re a big time power user you’ll know why. I used to be a windows person, but Ive seen the light and the truth! lol I want a mac so bad!!! =)
and to those who had bad expirences with them, its gotten a whole lot better! i mean, the stability the fast hardware, and awesome GUI… _gets goose bumps_ …
Plus the switch commercials are just funny =)

Not to contradict myself, but I do want a mac. I want a mac because as I said before, they are great for graphics and animation and that is what I am interested in. If I had a choice I would have a Mac for graphics and a Windows machine for everything else…haha.

Yikes! I was hoping that the Mac thing would just be overlooked. I didn’t want to make a stand about my OS preferrence… just wanted to post my desktop along with everyone else. In any case thanks if you liked my desktop… even if you don’t like the legs that are holding it up!

macs are nice, but just too expensive… if you build your own PC you can get waaayyyy more power and everything else too, for a lot less money - I just like to fully customize everything!!! hee hee… I am building my next one in a few months - it is going to be a screamer!!! yeah! I:-)
Peace

I don’t know who is lucky…
the person with the software, but can’t run it on his machine, or the guy who could run it, but doesn’t have the software…
If I didn’t know what I was missing, would I be all hyped up to go build my new machine? I mean my income is definitely not going to increase with my limited skills…
my therapist loves these kind of philosophical kind of questions…
she doesn’t give me any help, but she loves the questions…

Just to clear up about AstonShell for WinXP, DO NOT DOWNLOAD!!
Yes, the themes are cool, yes, u can make yer own COOL themes, BUT, it completely f\*cks up everything!
One thing is hyperlink in the browser results in massive system failure when clicked on, and that just made me go RIGHT on and uninstall… Plus, now that I’ve uninstalled, mypc is 2 more minutes slower on startup… It really messes up everything…
So don’t use it…
also, most themes are for 800x600 only, and looks sh\*itty when stretched to bigger resolutions…
just a piece of advice.

heh, raydred, since u say having 2 monitors on one system is nice, you should’ve seen my dads setup not oo long ago.
He had 3 pc’s set to one monitor, he placed a switch underneath the table so he could switch the monitor to whatever machine he neede, plus he had his laptop on the table too! 😛
He’s a big ass programmer…! hehe…
Learned computers from him 🙂

heh, mine is a 17" monitor, CAN deal with 1600x1200 resolution! Although that’s overdoing it a bit…
I stick to 1280x1024…
