OT: would it be considered a stereotype to say that all mac users are exactly like Mr. Renault?
It would. It would also be 100% accurate. Stereotypes have to start somewhere you know...

I don't know about overpriced for some. I paid $800 for a normal macbook and dual-booted windows 7 to play steam games. Left 4 Dead 2 works with ease, its legit. On the subject of macbook pro's and macbook desktops, f*** them. A lot of money for little substance, especially when for less than a grand you can make yourself a nice gaming rig.

Bravo! My PC's big and I like it that way! So is my bass guitar, I pride myself on its ability to crush creak-heads beneath its heft!
Bass guitars and PCs win at crushing things vs their counter-parts. The difference is that guitars are still viable things while Macs are generally useless. (I use PCs for gaming, hence the comment, not trying to create flame-bait here)

Pssh, my porn folder password was a lot harder to guess than 12345

People bury their private material in password-protected folders you say? Do tell...
Something else that works well is changing the file name and extension, could be a little tedious for larger collections though. I stopped trying to hide mine when I noticed no-one searches my computer, so long as it doesnt accidentally end up in my shared files.

Oh, and miso soup grows on you, it no-longer makes me feel like vomiting.

Damn hippies. If one of my sisters ever dates a hippie I'll beat his head in with something harder then my PC case.

My PC case isn't very dense. It's a small case so i can put it where i need it. Although i do have a rather large case that is all metal i used a few years back for my old PC. maybe i should break that out if my sister ever needs one.

So I find the fact that I'm replying to this thread from my MacBook Pro mildly amusing. I also find it amusing that I'm running a VM of Windows 7 (for some crappy Visual Basic app) and a terminal session where I'm renaming 15,000 photographs based on their EXIF data using a simple shell script.

While I can agree the hardware is priced more than I'd like - I find the flexibility to be quite useful. Oh well, thank goodness we have options and aren't forced to buy what other's deem appropriate. And the hippie should've defended himself with an aluminum unibody Mac. Far superior torsional strength.

And might I enquire to the author where to buy $15 routers and $100 Apple products? And it's skunk weed, not skank - but then again, I don't know your sister.

And ridiculously huge computers are asinine. My gaming PC is a 12x12x24" Shuttle.

My computer is HUGE. Seriously, you can fit three regular computers including cases if you cut them into proper shapes... Yeah. I call it "The Mammoth", mostly because it's covered in thick brown hair and is frozen in a block of ice. Some of that wasn't true. What I'm trying to say is, my computer could easily kill someone, though I'd never throw it or use it as a weapon, even though it did break, we installed Windows XP fresh and now I can't connect to the internet. Holy crap, this could end up as a post that's actually a question. HOW MAKE I TWO LIL' NETWORK WINDOWS ON TOOLBAR GO VISIBLE AND CONNECTED??? :eek:

Case and point, Mac's are for people who forget how to turn their computer on, while PC's are for important and successful people.

A great read; much better than the usual fake news stuff.
Agreed. The first article I actually FULLY read. This also saddened me a bit; this particular article, not me never reading a full article.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thinks miso soup tastes like fish ass. I know too many weeaboos who take any shit that comes from the land of Nippon to be like gold bullion on a silver platter and would gladly be penetrated by tentacles. Miso is terrible.

The article was amazingly entertaining, but I think the Mac vs PC debate is a little overblown.

My background is both that of a gamer and programmer, and I wasted several semesters learning graphic design (the design itself wasn't a waste, but the school... eh, it's a long story). So I have reasonable experience with both platforms.

Each one has its pros and cons. Each one has its strengths and weaknesses.

For my graphic design work (or my husband's film editing) Mac does seem to be a bit more intuitive and easier to use. It seems to be more geared for the artist in general. Apple also provides a great synergy between their various devices, making it easy to keep them in sync.

PCs are great for gaming, programming, and basic home use. A better native office suite and programming IDE (i.e. MS Office and Visual Studio) than anything I've seen on a Mac, if peripherals and other devices can be a little clunky to deal with.

But really, I feel this battle is trying to argue which is better: the hammer or the screwdriver. Each one has it's place, and a good handyman will know his way around with both. Or to put it in a gamer perspective, it's like comparing an RTS to an FPS. Both are good depending on what you want to do.
