Why do I want to pay $1099-$1999 for a stupid Mac-Book.
Seriously, I could pay a much more affordable $512 for a laptop with Windows XP and more.
AND ITS GOT EXPANSIONS!
As opposed to the always freezing MacBook with its crappyness. (If only that were a word!)


Apple claims to donate laptops to schools. Why is my school still filled with old smelly (not really) computers? (Not that I would want a Mac anyways)

AND WHATS THIS ABOUT PAYING $1099+ FOR AN EASY TO HACK APPLE LAPTOP?!?!!

Order about 5 back issues of MacAddict and you'll find all kinds of stuff relateing to protecting your mac. Also I would not trust running windows XP natviely on my mac even if bill gates came to my house and said it was safe himself. Use an emulator to run windows on Mac instaid.

Is the emulator free? If so, can I have a link?

And why exactly would you pay Apple hardware prices to run Windows? I never did get that one....

Because I was given a Maggot, I mean, Mac.
Now I want to use that Mac as a Windows computer, thus, I want an emulator.

Mac's are amazing, running Windows on them is a rediculous idea though.

[Arc]

Oxymoron?

[Zylstra]

I must disagree with you, ParadoX...

(I think you have been tracking me on CH)

Macs just are not capable of what they should be. I mean, they cant right click without you pressing Command first...

And when they freeze, you had better hope its not a MacBook, or you are going to have a jolly fun time ripping it open to remove the battery...

I have a Mac... so I know. When mine freezes because I decided to save my document, it automatically thinks that I need to loose it, and freezes up on me. So I press Command, Cloverleaf/Apple, and ESC... Its like "Ending this application may cause your computer to freeze" but its already frozen! So no matter which button I click, OK or Cancel, its going to freeze.
(Pressing OK or Cancel, whatever day it is...)
And nothing happens. Its frozen. I cant even enter the Debugger. So I press the restart combo, and nothing happens. So then I feel like I am dieing. And I press the power button. Nothing happens. So I hold the power button down, nothing happens. And then I have to get up and unplug the dang thing. All my open application's data is gone, and I loose my document...

That's why I stick with my trusty Win 3.1 Laptop, Windows 95 Laptop, Windows 95 PC, My other Windows 98 PC, my good Windows 98 PC, and my other XP (and the XP I am using right now) and I just leave the Mac out of everything...
Besides, Macs have a problem with ThirdParty software...

YAY! Someone agrees with me!

I know that Macs do have their good sides:
Video Editing, Image Editing (Though my PC can do just as fine of a job)
But my PC just seems to do much more.

That and its VERY difficult to program for the Macintosh. You try porting your own application from PC to Mac format and show me the results....

Macs are far too expensive. You can get the hardware for half the price and Linux for free..

Ofcourse, if you want an crappy limp dicked one button mouse and a way too trendy queer keyboard you'll have to pay extra.

Hi,

Not to take side on Mac or Windows (oh, and one Linux box.) Because I use both, I can clearly tell the different between the two. One day, soon after you get your Windows machine, you will see all kinds of virus, and you start to go bold and want to throw your Windows machine out of the window, you will find out the beauty of the Mac.  At work, I take care of 13 machines, the Windows machine are running almost flawless but it's because I do virus scan, adware scan, spyware scan on all Windows machines every single day, but the Macs, I hardly have to do anything, once setup, that's it. I don't remember when the last time was when I did house cleaning for the Macs.

I have no spyware nor viruses on any of the windows machines I work with and I have no headaches from them either. They all run and do as they're supposed to.  

And the good thing is that I didn't have to go out of my way to buy over priced Macintosh hardware/software that doesn't allow for any type of configuration at all. And I can actually use a mosue with more than one button! HAH!
