Apple Schmapple
by JJ_Wilde - 5/14/08 10:26 PM In reply to: Apple products>> by 07_ArunI have owned Apple products in the past, and was very displeased with the way that they are not only incompatable with other vendors' software and hardware, but they are not even compatable with different versions of their own. Any vendor who works in such an unprincipled way to push their own ''latest and greatest'' products can pack up their whole medicine show and haul it down the road.

Since then, I have compared Apple with Microsoft and always found the former unable to compete in cluck-for-buck even though I admit that the quality has been marginally better.
What does the job the cheapest with acceptable quality seems to be the yardstick in business ... or at least it was.

What?
by JJ_Wilde - 5/15/08 4:51 AM In reply to: Apple products by aaa11zzzYou wrote software for Apple products in the '70s? That preceded the Apple II, didn't it?
Did yours make the funny squawking and honking noises when you accessed the floppy that wouldn't accomodate a good recipe for a tuna sandwich? Were they up to the 76k level of RAM by then?
How did you like it when they changed to an operating system that sent all of the equipment that preceded the Mac to the garbage can? How about the Word package that required that you embed formatting instructions into the text?
Six months later they went to an OS the sent the Macs to the trash bin. Wow! That was really the Good Old Days, wasn't it? Did you ever meet the guy who did his assembler programs for the Motorola chip while sailing around Cape Horn in that wooden sailboat?
I guess the good times are all gone. (sniff, sniff)

Here in the UK Apple always seem to be the most expensive. Why pay premium when you can buy comparable from other makes much cheaper.

I don't need portable MP3 player. I would rely on my PC to listen to music. I don't need a Mac either. My PC serves me well. I am quite satisfied with my PC. I don't like to wear a headset. It'll bring negative effect to my body.
headsets...
by JJ_Wilde - 5/18/08 9:45 PM In reply to: I don't have any. by thljclI don't know if a headset will bring negative effects to you body, as long as you don't turn them up to a ridiculous volume, but they will certainly bring negative effects to your mind. I listen to them for a while, then I have to rip them off and stomp on them.
I currently don't have any

But I do want to get a Macbook. Not because I think Macs are better than PCs, but I can put together something and get better performance at a cheaper price. I want it to gain knowledge about the Mac OS. I want to have a wider range of expertise.

iMac, iBook, iPod, Time Capsule.
To you folks who say Apple is restrictive and expensive...iPod plays practically every sound file made. Mac runs several OSes natively. How much is you time, piece of mind, sanity worth? Macs last longer, keep their value longer and are cheaper to maintain. And the user experience is years ahead of anything else.

I personally dont own any apple products. I cant see why anyone would buy apple computers they dont support some software plus they are to expensive i looked at the new macbook when i was purchasing my notebook computer and i just wasnt impressed it was light but it just wasnt satisfying so in my eyes apple is just the company that keeps microsoft from having a monoply a second rate company that should stick to mp3 players
I proudly own no Apple products.

I will legally hang myself the day Apple releases a gaming console.
OK,
by JJ_Wilde - 5/15/08 5:08 AM In reply to: I proudly own no Apple products. by Ed-duh-winIf you can find a state where that is legal, do up a spare noose and give me a call.
Darwin is correct
