Why I use a Mac
ravuya:
A base insecurity? Maybe it's that every home version of Windows, XP or not, is essentially based off of the old clunky DOS-Shell concept... makes for security issues too (truncated file names like IMPORT~1, etc cause holes in IIS that let you access files that you shouldn't) that really can't be patched properly without a complete overhaul.
I think they're just a bit more scared of trying something new and getting labelled by the other bigots and flamers out there (Linux==Geek, Mac==Nongamer, etc), or even worse, not being able to play Counter-Strike, which seems to be the rotten game that most Windows lamers I've met spend their time on.
The reason why all of us users of non-microsoft platforms are so elitist when it comes to this kind of thing is that their users are so ignorant and so biased against other platforms, despite never trying them in the first place - or even worse, assuming that nothing other than Windows has games and coming here and dropping homophobic slurs and flames.
With an enemy like that, how can you not want to attack their users directly? Maybe this is what is at the root of all trolls..
I think we should all take a step back and take a look at how much flaming and trolling we've been doing lately. Or we could increase the bigotry and ignorance and maybe, hell, we could start a holy war against the users of Windows.

going back a couple of posts - I'm currently going to senior high and almost all the people who actually know anything about computers have or want a unix/linux/macos system including our sys admin.
Alot of my friends want to get the X86 darwin and run that on a box
Just recently all the teachers laptops have been (forcibly) upgraded to windows XP over our sys admins objections. It took them over a week to get them all to connect to the server (windows 2000) and have been having trouble with them ever since.
My school also has a Linux server (don't know what make - probably redhat ?.?) windows refuses constantly to even see this server - it is used for one piece of software WebCT its used to put up information about courses students are doing.
This school is new (opened last year) and it has system wide crashes at least 1 every 2 weeks - the linux server is always up - and there are 2-3 machines that do not work everyday (different machines!)

Machater lists his interests as "fucking Macs."
i think you's the one with the screwed up sex life, buddy

Refalm:
Machater's d**k is small enough to put it in the FireWire input
choasforages:
why stick it in the firewire port. that would be a waste of a perfectly good firewire port. y not were rubber gloves and cut off the stump that left behind since his mother bit it off
