How about this: what if a small leak in a water pipe above your computer was unoticed and water got inside the mac and burnt the processor and mobo while you had a disk in it with your companies main server settings (or something else important) on it, how would you get your disk back?
-------
You put a paper clip in the little hole and it trigers the mechanisim to relese the disk. If you snap off the faceplate on most macs you can push the button with your finger. No disasembly required.

38. PC's are less than Macs, and you get more. (more useless microsoft propaganda that is)
I believe i spent a total of $300 on everything in my PC including the 3 GB of software on it (i'm using Linux on my PC)

I think he is refering to windows here. Macman, get your windows and PC's straight.

If I ever get to the point to where I have to wear Depends I'll see to it that I hire a hitman to knock me off. There is no reason to live if you can't fend for yourself. I'll say that it is really good to see that part of the young generation knows more about computers than just point and click(I learned computers on a command prompt OS, having knowledge beyond point and click is great if you ever plan on getting a serious job in computers). It is just bad to see them bashing every little thing that comes from a company just because it was made by the company.
Even if the company makes a good product(which MS has made alot of good products) they will bash it just because it sports the name MS. Do you really think our computers would be at the advanced levels they are at now without Microsoft Windows? Microsoft has kept the pressure on chipmakers to improve thier CPU's to run Windows at decent speeds, MS has pressured Hard Drive manufacturers to make larger and larger drives to hold the size increases in Windows with space to spare. MS has a large part in Video chipset makers producing faster and faster video hardware that fully supports MS's API(DirectX) to run games that get graphically better and better every few months. Linux on the other hand only requires low end hardware to run, therefore it never has pressured any technological advancements in PC hardware.
I've said it a few times on this board, I don't think there is anything wrong with Linux, Unix, etc. I just do think it is silly that alot of the Open Source users are so closed minded. There is a place in the market for every OS..and seriously, *nix is not intended to be a desktop OS. It is geared more towards low end, mid end and high end servers. *nix will never replace Microsoft's OSes as a desktop OS. Microsoft's OSes have over 16 years worth of software that has been written for it. Do you think all of that shit is going to be thrown out the window for a server OS?

i learned computing on a VIC20, then a commodore 64.
hmmmmmm... thats a good point though, without MS making their software need more and more space, processor speed, and better the newest hardware we probly would not have as fast computers as we have today (we may even make them faster using linux). If it were just *NIX there would be little pressure on the manufacturers because Linux would run so good on the current hardware.
I still think windows could possibly make an alright os if they took out the windows registry and replaced it with individual config files like *NIX uses. The registry contains the information for every program on the computer, therefore whenever a program has to lookup its configuration it has to scan the entire registry, this can get quite time consuming if you have a lot installed (or even a few big programs). The registry also constantly being accessed which makes it have a higher chance of being corrupted. Linux only access the certain config files it needs, so each individual file is accessed less and has a lower chance of corruption.

Zombie, you keep spewing out those same things you call facts and I disagree with every single one of them. Microsoft doesn't create the products, they buy them and sell them. They are really nothing more than a software brokerage firm. For instance, I *used* to like Visio until M$ got hold of it. And you think I am biased and don't use M$. Guess what I spent half the day doing today? Trying to tie data together from M$ SQL Server, Pervasive, and Exchange on Win2k. There was a lot of swearing coming out of my office today to say the least.
UNIX was created before there was such a thing known as a "desktop" system. Linux runs just fine as a desktop system and it *will* replace M$ weather you like it or not. Better buy some books or you will be out of work fast and in a hurry.
