No, you have one computer.Wazaki said:
One overpriced, over simplified, over hyped computer.
And it's UGLY.

I like how everyone is saying how customizeable they are, what color do you like, white, or white?
They are not superior to PCs. They are not inferior to PC's. The commercials have made them into a fad because people don't realize that you have to spend a bit to upgrade your PC so it runs well. Problem is, people won't spend a couple hundred bucks to upgrade but they'll spend two thousand on a Mac no problem.
I like my PC. It works. I've had no problems with it at all. I don't feel the need to spend upwards of two thousand dollars on something more simplistic when I can already work my computer just fine.

FAIL! - I haven't actually used one ever but I have seen how much they suck to do anything.
So far out of what I've understood about Macs I can clearly see the reason why the sell so much. Because they are simple for idiots to operate and can do what idiots want to have on their computers (music, picture, video storage, movie making, slide shows, basic internet).
I can come up with many more things that make MAC fail but I'm way too pissed off with them already.

I believe Macs are something you either grow up using, or are forced into using.
Example:
In a graphics design class, the instructor was one of those tight-assed "I use a Mac because they are Macs" people. She hated everything PC and was so tits-deep in the "i-" craze that she would use Mac i-whatever promo displays and fliers as examples of professionally completed artwork.
In those days, I was generally open-minded and accepted what she told me about Macs being the industry standard for the graphics design industry and grudgingly transitioned to a $9000 Mac from a $3000 PC. (She made it a point to state the price difference, as if to prove some level of superiority).
I found that for the two months I was using the Mac, I was actually sharply dropping in productivity levels as I had to continuously replace two decades worth of Control and Alt commands with those silly-ass Apple Flower Command functions, a one-button mouse, and a desktop that continued to hide all my important programs and distract me with flashy-bouncy system trays and icons (by the way, flashy-bouncy /anything/ should belong solely in strip clubs, or certain beaches).
I ended up failing that class, even though I had one all my work and managed to surpass the lesson plans by two weeks, because I:
"Expressed a desire to disobey common sense and practicality by refusing to complete given assignments on the PROPER provided equipment." (Yes, the report had 'proper' in bold capitals. That irked me.)
As a side note, the concave keyboard is pretty keen for typing.
And never once in all the times I actually visited print shops did I see a Mac doing anything else other than checking Myspace.

Macs themselves don't really strike me as bad, but its the Mac users that piss me off. I have friends who are stereotypical Mac owners; high and mighty, thinking they are being unique with their identical white comps, sitting in a Starbucks, chatting with other Mac people about indie bands whilst working on their novels that won't end up anywhere except their blogs. Which can be accessed via Twitter. I know because Facebook informs me. Every. Three. Mother. Fucking. Minutes.

In retrospect, Macs make me really want to sock a ************.
It takes alot to get me to that point.

I see Macs as computers aimed at three markets, the "I want to be different" crowd (Mac Mini,iMac,Macbook), "I like to do video editing" (iMac,Mac Pro,Macbook Pro) and the "I'm must have people watch me writing my new movie script in Starbucks on my Macbook" (Macbook).
Need another option:
Awesome for what they do, but useless at things outside of photoshop, final cut, garage band etc.

This is what one of my many friends thinks about Macs:
(I've had to delete a few of the swears in this too where the * are).
"Macintoshes * SUCK. They are laggy, stuffy. require passwords every minute and have an annoying habit of refreshing every couple of minutes. The internet is next to inaccessible on a Mac. Whoever uses a Mac is a complete, pure, unadulterated homosexual retard that gets their kicks by * onto a heater and then enjoying the electrical shocks.
Just incase you can't tell, the fucking University has stuck me with a lab full of IMacs. Big * mistake."

Most mac users say that the mac is unhackable it to a hacker less 10 seconds to hack 2 mac each. Heres the link

Macs are just as shit as anything else except for some reason mac users cant shut up about their macs
If it were compatible with more games, I'd buy one.
As it stands, I will resume stroking my PC lovingly *sigh*
