i know very little myself... when it comes to most things on macs, it is option six...

I hardly know anything, just that most of them look cool, there's a lot of Mac fanatics out there, and they're different from PCs lol.

I've been an Apple user all my life, and proud owner of 2 since 2001. I know quite alot. But there is always more to learn.

Dead_reckon · « **Reply #4 on:** December 08, 2006, 03:17:13 PM »

if i had a mac to toy with, i would probably know quite a bit... but sadly, i dont. i am planning on toying with linux soon though.

I've been fixing and updating 95 and up for friends. then someone brought me a mac dated 12/31/94. no way to net that I could find, It would not download from cd's I made from inet downloads. everything I tried to feed it was old power mac. but it said it didn't know what created it. it's setting on the floor collecting dust for me! made me feel "or realize" how stupid I am.

Alot, I use Mac since the beginning, the Mac 128K

For work, I need to know both Mac and Windows, I have to say, the OSX is definitly superio. I am more productive on the Mac. The Mac OSX is stable, the underline UNIX is powerful I use the Mac Mini to host serval websites. I never need to do virus scan, registery clearning... The Mac display looks so much nicer too, I have two identical 22" widescreens, the one on the PC doesn't look half as good. Mac softwares are generally better written. Hardly ever need to reboot even when a bad software crashs....
I can go on and on.

Why would someone want to waste $300 to get this Vista crap while one can get OSX for half of the price and twice as stable. Bill gate eats the dust here.

I voted option 6...Like the surface of mars. i know there was proof of water on mars to i do know a little bit

Basically no...i don't really know about Macs. I'm going to have to learn because next year we're going to be using Macs for Media Studies in school.

lordoftheplat · « **Reply #12 on:** March 03, 2007, 08:26:27 AM »

im suprised that no one chose option 1
i mean how could apple survive??
they should have been bankrupt by now...IF there wasnt that ipod
hey dudeoxide this is for u "domes"

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #13 on:** March 03, 2007, 08:47:31 AM »

and what does my theory of domes have to do anything with apple. Macs are used for like movies and............stuff, thats why Media Studies use Macs in school, we make a whole load of movies. One reason why i chose it...

Btw, if anyone wants to know about my random theory, email me

lordoftheplat · « **Reply #14 on:** March 04, 2007, 05:58:24 AM »

yes... mars and domes...dont u see the connection

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #15 on:** March 05, 2007, 02:06:24 AM »

I can... turn it on and figure out how to do stuff. I do need to learn though if I plan to work in computer repair.

Zylstra · « **Reply #21 on:** March 31, 2007, 02:22:40 PM »

Who would purchase a computer with a power button on the back of it instead of easily accessible from the front?

And why the heck do they have a little light on the front that shows when its on, turning on, or in sleep if it doesent do anything else but light up?

dont tell anyone but i used to mess with the codeing of Macintosh Operateing software so that it would run on incompadible machines. I used to be a network admin at my school running an AppleTalk network consisting of four Macintosh Classic machines 10 Macintosh Classic II units 5 Macintosh LC550 and 1 MAcintosh LC575 (the server) as well as an Apple Image Writter II and a Apple Laser Writer 320 printers. There was one PC machine that was uesed at the portal for internet accsess. (the network was assembled in 2001 and dissambled 2003)

Did you know RVB is made on Macs?

What's RVB?

M1CH431 · « **Reply #30 on:** April 16, 2007, 06:46:43 PM »

RVB: Red Vs Blue its a series of funny videos made using Halo 1 and 2 for the footage then they edit and add in voices etc using Macs. The link Carbon Dudeoxide posted was from the RVB website.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #31 on:** April 18, 2007, 06:56:27 AM »

Yeah, Love them.....and the comics....

Dark Blade · « **Reply #32 on:** April 19, 2007, 01:03:22 AM »

Who here has a Mac anyway?

p.s. The Mac vs. PC ads are funny.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #33 on:** April 19, 2007, 03:54:44 AM »

I love those mac vs pc ads, so funny. My cousin has a mac laptop, he is staying here for a few days. It is so big....and heavy.....
The keyboard is so far into the laptop, right under the screen. I had to lean over to type something.
The touch screen is hilarious, one button instead of two

The CD slot is very weird, doesnt have the thing that comes out and you put the cd on it and it goes back in.

EDIT: by CD slot, i mean CD Tray.

Dark Blade · « **Reply #34 on:** April 19, 2007, 03:58:28 AM »

ONLY ONE BUTTON!?!?

I new that Macs had Mac instead of Ctrl (do they? I think...)

At least Mac has good ads.
By the way, do you realise that we're talking through multiple topics? It's fun!

Yeah.

I got my camera and took a picture of every part of that mac laptop (my cousin isnt home)
I did this because it is really weird compared to mine, and i can show my friends how weird it looks compare to....others...

I have a picture of it linked at the bottom of this post.

I hate laptops that have the those finger-controlled mouse things. I used my friends laptop once, and I didn't know how to CLICK!!!

It was funny, but embarassing because I was playing this game where you needed to click... I won't go into full detail.

Carbon Dudeoxide · « **Reply #37 on:** April 19, 2007, 04:20:03 AM »

Lol, i'm used to the laptops right click and left click button. I don't use the touch screen feature where you press the touchscreen and it clicks, too weird for me.

I have to admit, the mac's screensaver is really good.

Its an Apple key, and then there is a ALT/Control key, anda cloverleaf weird looking key.
I have 1 Mac (I swear, I dont like it!)
The CD-Tray broke off on mine.

What was worse is when Macs used to come with CD Cartredges. Those things sucked

So you couldn't use CDs for it anymore?

My cousins laptop doesnt have a cd tray, just a gap to squeeze the cd into.

My Mac is from 1999, so it doesent have the slit CD insert thing.
My cousin has a drive like that ofr a PC though
