Given that you obviously haven't benefited much from your education, I can only conclude you've derived equally little benefit from your exposure to Macs.
Most schools don't have the money to buy the latest equipment, so there's a 95% chance you were exposed to badly out-of-date Macs running old versions of the OS, with no care put into having up-to-date applications that run smoothly with each other. Of course you're going to get a bad impression.
With OS X, the UNIX multitasking beats the crap out of Windows. You bitching about the Macs you've used in high school is like me talking crap about 386's running Windows 3.1, saying they can't compete today. Completely, totally IRRELEVENT.
And incidentally, try learning basic grammar. People might actually be inclined to take you seriously, for the first time in your life.

As they say, "first impressions are lasting impressions", and techies have very long memories indeed. Apple still leaves a bad taste in the mouths of a not insignificant number of techies to this day.

Funny, I think most people who have coded m68k and HLA prefer the former, and I dont see PC's anywhere in pro audio or video studios... Even Microsoft's Macintosh software is better - because the platform's graphics engine is quite better. Actually, MS Word was better than on PC back when OS 9 was still the newest OS from Apple...

Is any of this justified? Not today. Apple failed in its attempt to create a monopoly, nor are they likely to achieve one any time soon. Today, Apple is important as they are the only players that have a chance at challengeing the Redmond Beast. And they have some terrific products, OS X for sure, the iPod, and it sure was a damn shame that people wouldn't give the Cube a chance. Apple is an excellent alternative to Wintel rigs and Macro$uck.

failed at their attempt to create a monopoly? Successful doesn't equal monopolistic. In any company's case. Monopolistic is a relative term - thats something the justice system decides.. All companies try to earn lots of freaking money.
BTW... The cube's hardware was bad, so they scrapped it.

dude, i used to have an LC 575 (lik 6-7 years ago), i'm VERY familiar with macintosh OS,i prefer PC's. and our school is plenty up to date on macintosh's. our school is always buying new computers. some of them have OSX, most are on OS 9 (i think that's the name of it) i was also in my school's computer tech class, which had to do wih fixing/maintaining ( you guessed it!) macintosh's!
so lets look back here. i've been using macintosh's for about 7 years, i use them every day at school, i spent a year working on them for my school, that same year i also networked all the new ones in teachers rooms. so i think i know a thing or 2 about macintosh's heh.
as for multi tasking, i got 512 megs of ram on a p3 gigahert computer, i was running winamp and burning a cd and ran Everquest lmost flawlessly. i'd like to see a mac do that
Shizit4u:
which is better also depends on what you're using your computer for. for graphcs, Yes, Macintosh's spank all over PC's, no argument there. But if you'e into online gaming you won't get too far on a macintosh.
