http://jeremy.zawodny.com/media/*****.mpg - there are a couple of bad words in this one so maybe NWS.

the profanity filter killed the link, it rhymes with ditch...

One question I have for Mac Users... Don't you guys like to play games on your PC? Unless you are a DJ for light switch raves or trying to pick up on hot chicks at a coffee house, why would you own a mac? How could you live without stuff like Counter Strike, Half Life, BF 1942 etc?

illy, your attempt at being witty is a complete failure.

I can live without CS, Half-Life, etc, because gaming isn't my life. If I was buying a box for games, I would have bought a PC.

The old 'Macs suck, they h aev no gamez!~' **** is getting old.

Besides the fact that all of those games are available for Apple , there is more to computers the gaming.

I actually have quite a bit of experience with lots of operating systems and am a Windows Programmer (C# and .NET currently) by trade and a Unix/Linux system programmer by schooling. From my experience picking apart operating systems, OS X is one of the most programatically elegant operating systems I've ever seen. The eyecandy is kind of a resource hog, but underneath is freaking awesome. The UI is also much more intuitive.

But, when it comes down to it, computers are all the same. Just quit your *****ing, sack up and use the damn machine. In my experience, anyone who complains about one platform over another doesn't know **** about computers, they only know the one paradigm that they are comfortable with.

I could care less about games on a PC. That's why I have PS2 and Xbox. Regardless, this machine is for my mom, and I like the fact that it does everything for her all by itself because it has an operating system that works... and I don't have to work when I go to visit my parents.

I hate all computers.

So, illy, are you trying to convince us Mac users that we are wrong or something? Trying to turn us to the 'light side' from our evil Mac ways? Or just belittle us, because we apparently use an inferior 'chick' computer?

I really need to get a new computer, since someone on teh intarweb told me that I have a chick computer! I need a man computer so I can play gamez now!!~

Yes, feathered and lethal... :-)

I am just playing devils advocate anyway, I have no love for PC's, it's just how I make a living. I make about $400 extra a month cleaning spyware off PC's after work, I really don't want people using stuff like Linux, Mac OS or even firefox because it affects my bottom line!

Besides, if I had any loyalty to a computer, it would be to my beloved Amiga 3000T running a Dual line Ami-Express BBS... Strange fact, Sacramento has one of the largest active Amiga communities in the United States...

Dude, if the Mac is the VW Beetle of computers, does that make an Amiga the Chevrolet Chevette?

:rotfl:

See, it's not all bad, since it's the lightest RWD Chevy platform ever made, but all of your friends are going to laugh at you for driving around in it
