A starter Mac

[Gwladys St. Glory]

I have no qualms about people who use Macs for two things, pro audio or video editing. They're stellar for this, but it's not because of the hardware or the OS, it's the time that's been spent on the software for these applications and the fact that they're coded on a relatively closed system as it concerns hardware (which IS upgradeable, to an extent).

Microsoft would absolutely eat Apple alive in the OS department if they ever adopted a closed system approach (ie. XBox) but that doesn't make money nor give the consumer a large enough choice, which also doesn't make money.

Apple makes enough money to survive but it's not beause of their PC division. FFS, the 25 and under generation don't even regard Apple as a PC manufacturer these days, they find that out by accident because they bought...an iPod.

Old school Mac users know this...and hate it.

Even ipods are [Poor language removed] compared to normal mp3 players.

Had a job interview in London mate, I've just had to read through these 9 pages and now i think I've given up the will to live

I think one thing I've realised about my self though thanks to you chico, is that if there were no such thing as a mac I'd still go out and buy the hugely over priced PC version ie the swanky looking Vaios with their over inflated price tags. This is probably why i was using the Nokia 89xx and 88xx range of phones for years, basic bog standard handsets but they looked all flash and sleek

Still can't work out why you didn't like OSX after using it for 6 months though??

I was lying mate, trying to get an angle to bait Ghost.

It's probably miles better in all fairness but in the midst of conflict it's all about the angles.

I won't bite. I don't need to.

If you have to get the bus to work because you can't afford a car, then get a PC.

i walk to work so does that mean im the lowest of the low?

How did the interview go pal?

 

[maddison]

I start in January, thanks for asking

Don't you ever sleep? lol. You always get onto a thread before I start reading it, and you've always made a comment way after I've light weighted it off to bed :huh:

 

[Brownie]

Don't call me baby

Actually If i wasn't so tired, I should have realised i should keep this on topic

I pulled out my swanky flashy mac, they were so impressed and dazzled by it's slinkiness and shiny aluminium that they didn't listen to a word I said (thank fook) and gave me the job

So bottom line, get a mac it gets you jobs b) How's that for marketing b)

**** sake, what a load of rubbish this has came out.

I asked a simple question.

It dosent have to be a strong spec (700mhz would do) and preferably it'll be a a laptop.
