I have lots of software for it (mostly graphics) that include but are not limited to:

Adobe Illustrator 10
Adobe Photoshop 7
Adobe After Affects 5.5
Final Cut Pro
Bryce 5
Painter 7
Flash MX
Dreamweaver MX
Fireworks MX
Lightwave 7.0
Toast Titanium 5.1.4
Return to castle Wolfenstein

Those are the things that were included with the system when I got it off a friend of my dad.

Ugh... macs are horrible. Nice OS, but POS hardware... why not just wait for Apple's Jaguar OS and get a real computer?   :confused:

Because you are an idiot.

What do you mean it cost you nothing?

i agree, Mac Hardware costs lots because it is specialy designed for a mac. it's like Sparc processors on a Solaris machine...the processor and OS were specificaly made for each other.

Jaguar  IS the operating system I am running aka OS X 10.2 which is codename Jaguar. Check out www.apple.com to find out. Apple is only going to make MacOS X for Macintosh computers.

It means my dad bought it for me    

It looks like this forum has a couple more trolls LoL and Censored.   :(  

BTW How do you take a screenshot in Mac OS X? I want to add my desktop to the shameless sceenshots thread   :D

I must admit, I am quite a dickwad. I can't help but think "What are these guys doing here?!" whenever macs are mentioned in a postive way on these forums. Hey I know they must rock, they are definitly better then MS. It's just I still have this image in my head of MAC OS users and PC users battling it out as usual, except the Wind0ze users are replaced by Linux users.  

Totally anti-community spirit, but im a dickwad.

the thing is that if there is ANY pc vs mac rivalry on this site, it is entirely created by one or two of the more militant mac users.

i hasten to add that mac users are just as open and friendly as linux users, and both tend to be a bit more so than bsd users...

what's the problem? the webmaster uses macs...

there's a whole mac forum on here for gods' sake!

Yes, Yes the webmaster knows whats up, macs rule!  But I hate the mac vs x86 battle, really who cares let everyone use what they like.  And smokey mcp0t/b0b  to take a screen shot press apple+shift+3 at the same time.  A .pdf file should show up on your desktop a few seconds later [if its 10.2, 10.1.x its a .tif or something].  Also I dunno if you know, but you can open it in Preview and export it as a jpeg, BMP, photoshop or whatever you like.

No, there is no problem with Mac or Mac users, I choose to remain oblivious to that debate. It's just instincts from teh past see.  ;)
