That damn blaster virus... - Page 2

Luckily my computer is too 1337 for that virus. I do get other small viruses, though. They're the annoying ones.

**GK Punk** · 05-04-2004, 11:25 PM

This was the only major one I ever got. I did get one back in like 97 that deleted windows from my hard drive, but I have no idea what that one was, and I was a total PC n00b

In 1997 I had a 100 Mhz Pentium and no access to the internet.

*pats his Mac*

Good boy.

He's had his shots.

Stop reminding me that I need to buy a mac!

That strip describes Mac users so damn well.

I'm in the graphic-arts dept at school, and all we use is macs....they're good, but 'spensive.

Oh, Macs are superior for video editing and graphic arts. I'll give them that.

**GK Punk** · 05-04-2004, 11:50 PM

Too many mac uses are like that. It's one reason mac has such a bad name. I want one just 'cause they are cool, It'd be fun to have one in addition to a windows based PC

Hyper Metal Sonic · 05-04-2004, 11:56 PM

Oh, I have an old PC (AMD K6-2 380mhz, 8GB HD, 192MB Ram, etc.) running Windows 2000. It's in our den and mostly my parents use it and I use it for any sort of backup purposes.

But for 99.9% of my tasks, I use my Mac. It's just so damn reliable. You turn it on, it does it's thing...and it just does it's thing. No whining, no locking up, nothing.

Pure bliss.

Hyper Metal Sonic · 05-05-2004, 12:02 AM

And really, Macs aren't that expensive. You compare a Mac with a similarly equipped PC, it's usually only $100-200 more expensive, if even that.

You all think they're expensive because you're comparing them to the Dell, HP, & Compaq $500 "Crap-in-a-box" brand. (With onboard video, onboard audio, and the like)

Edit: You also need to take into account that the eMac and iMac both have monitors built-in. That's $200-300 saved right there, and compare that to a PC...you've got a damn decent price.

I really don't have anything against the Mac. I'm just your stereotypical Windows user that will insult the Mac to my grave. It's just the way it works. And hey! I have a Dell, and it came with good stuff. 64mb DDR video card and Sound Blaster Audigy 2 isn't your typical "on-board" hardware.

Hyper Metal Sonic · 05-05-2004, 12:08 AM

I'm not saying all Dells are bad, I'm just saying that when people say Macs are expensive, they usually bring up the Dells you always see on TV and stuff that are like $500 with a $300 mail-in rebate and stuff. Those are the computers that are more or less just....bad.

愛 · 05-05-2004, 12:08 AM

Yeah, and I got my Dell customized over the internet. If you actually bought those crappy ones at Best Buy or whatever, *shiver* God help you.
