Operating Systems > macOS
I'd like to know.....
gothwer:
I'd like to know why you guys like Mac. You have to buy a pricey, hardware-proprietary computer first of all. Second, the games for Mac- wait. There ARE no games (good ones atleast). Also Macs cheat their tests with speed. http://www.barefeats.com/pentium4.html to check it out. My cheap-ass Athlon XP computer seems to be doing better than those expensive iLamps, er iMacs. :D These all seem like good reasons to NOT own a Mac to me, but still people buy Macs. Tell me please why you guys like 'em, maybe I'll change my mind.
gnomez:
I think most people like Macs because of OS X, and because mac hardware is usually of high quality. Also its not MS.
psyjax:
You sound like a Troll.
You don't know what you are talking about, the hardware IS of high quality, PC's cheat on their tests, and while I admit an Athalon XP is a damn fast processor a G4 is comparable at most activites and surpacess it when running software that has been vectorized.
As far as games on the Mac, there are more than your narowminded Winows-centric universe let's you see. The ones which are ported to the Mac are usually the good ones. Furthermore, if you are buying a computer for the games alone, your paying to much money.
Finaly, Mac OS X is an incredible operating system. It outperformes windoze at every turn. It is fast, stable, (I have yet to see it totaly crash), and can do anything a PC can do, only better and alot more painlessly.
If you think Windoze is so hot, your not gonna get flak from just the Mac people here, why not wonder over to the Linux forum and tell them how overcomplicated and game-less their OS is.
But if you want to make a real argument, why not tone down your obviously pointed speach and post something with some substance to prove your point except some link that has been passed around this forum a million times and argued over to death.

So this is what happens when I try to ask the Mac community for imput. I see it all now.
"You sound like a troll".
I'm not going to even respond to that one.
Did I ever say Mac hardware was low quality? No... I said it was PRICEY. Which it is...
You constant insults and flames leave me to beleive- no I shall not sink to your foul level.
I didn't "flak" the Mac community, such as you flaked me.
It out-perfoms WinDOWS (learn to spell) because its tuned to its hardware. Did I even MENTION windows? I think not. I mentioned Athlon, which can run UNIX OS AND Windows.
As for games:
Lets see, can you play these wonderful games on Mac?:
Half Life
Jedi Knight
Theif: The Dark Project
Ghost Recon
Max Payne
Dark Age of Camelot
Everquest
Shadowbane
Morrowind
Daggerfall
ect. ect. ect.
Instead of flaming my post, why dont you respond to it intelligently? Fire doesn't hold water, as your flame shows.

:confused: I beleive not. I savor and enjoy my games as well as my vast array of OTHER programs. With just a mere Xbox, you can play games but thats not all I wish to do.

Oh, I assumed you are using windows because a) your a gammer, b) you tolld the Linux forum, and c) your OS of chice reads windows XP.
