Mac's full stop, perhaps?
And I suggest investing in a PC
Stop it. It's Macs and PCs
I don't like PCs.
I don't like PCs' tendancy to corrupt their file system when running defrag
I like Macs' Aqua interface.
I don't like Mac's knife
the lines given were not an indication of any preference in operating system but an instruction in the correct use of the apostrophe, which was the point made by Crocidolite and sophia, but completely missed by Lukeff7
But to address your particular point - yes, but Macs are PCs, or overcoats.
Personal computers running Macintosh system (whatever) are commonly know as Macs. Personal computers running MS DOS, PC DOS, MS Windows, IBM OS/2, and Novell are commonly known as PCs. Personal computers running Solaris, Linux, *BSD, SCO, tend to be known as unix boxes, X-boxes if they were running X - until about 5 years ago when it became unusual for unix boxes to not run X.
Can't say I have come across this issue? Only time I have is when you use XP's FAT32 to NTFS converter, which just actually kills the file system and it goes to RAW. Lose everything, in other words.
Defrag takes a fucking AGE though. Grr.
Macs are good for video work, I must say. And office work. They are just sooo expensive for what they are. Overpriced.
I dunno. Had too many strange substances tonight, met some nice people, but guess who came home - alone - to thesite...
Apple MACS - Good for video work, Music work, ok for office wrok but not great, Used them for video editing, was lovely, Music Editing also but Pc is also ok for music, not so much for video,
Problems with macs, compatibility, also poor ease of use but can be talk easily enough,
MS Windows, Coprate scum imo, Ok, compatability is perfect, runs most things out there, but lately since XP Vista etc etc, they're so power hungry, I remember the days when the OS required fuck all of the computers PSU, Ram and hard drive to run, thats what they're ment for, it use to be a 400mhz game would RUN on a 350mhz computer because of the drain of the OS on the power was not a hell of alot,
now aways its 1.5ghz game will only run on a 30000000ghz processor, Ok, maybe not equally as stupid but its probably getting close.
I prefer Windows, but that's because that's all I'd ever used til my boyfriend got this around March time, so I find it easier to use is all.
I thought you were listing your own complaints, ok. And I think I read somewhere some fundamental difference between PCs and Macs (besides the processor) but I don't remember what it was.
what compatibility problems? If you use a mac you have no need to use any windows only software there are plenty of better options for macs.
get over yourself - who gives a shit where the apostrophe is?! :rolleyes:

I'd say overall, Mac's are probably better as home computers, because they're less hassle and less likely to break if you don't know what you're doing (so I hear). But PC's can be just as reliable if you take all the proper precautions with regards to compatibility, spyware, virus' etc. But they are a bit more work.
fair point - I never really got into games on pc's so hadn't thought of that :chin:
My advice - get a mac, get less stress & use all the spare time you've got left over from not having to reboot and sort out your windows piece of crap playing on a playstation/x box/gameboy wotever
