most? And to this you answered,
"It was at these times that I
went offline so you would have
full wifi strength."

Mac seems to rock. Dont know anyone not happy with it. :)

Pretty much the same with Ubuntu. It has really become a fantastic operating system the last couple of years. Its easier than Windows now, and without the slow speeds and viruses. :)

This is close to the truth, it really is a nice OS. If only games were created for OpenGL instead of DirectX it would be King.

i've used mac's ever since I was a kid, starting out around 1989/90 on my dad's office mac up until a few years ago.

And guess what, i'm not happy with where mac has gone, they've gone from making rock solid computers to flashy bloated toy boxes from fisher price.

PC > new mac

This tbqh!



I love Ubuntu, I'd still be on it if only EvE ran on it =(


There are too many issues with WINE....



my old desktop still has Ubuntu and seeing as I dont use it for EvE theres no reason put Windows on it.


As for macs, f*&$ macs

Sack your Mac admin, tbh.

I admin Macs, Windows, Linux & other Unix boxen and hate all operating systems equally. But Macs don't deserve half the crap that people accuse them of.

The hardware's nice though. Or would be, if it cost half what it does now.

Fixed.

Whilst technologically superior, they're OverBloated, Overexpensive and have very few games which are either Underdeveloped or choppy ports of PC Games.

technologically superior? Well, the did get a step up when they moved from PowerPc to i386 architecture. But that's like saying a Porsche 911 from a decade ago is technologically superior than a new Mercedes, just because the bodywork is still looks good.
