Fight Back for the Mac!

Everyone who sees this, respond on why you use a Mac (under the right heading, and not because PCs blow!), or respond why you use a different OS (under the right heading, and not becuase Macs suck!).

Why you use a Mac

b/c macs 5uxx0rz

I do believe I said, not for this reason!

Why you use a different OS

b/c macz 5uxx0rz

Oh ya, also not for this reason!

(Next time try something like cause windows rules! or something positive!)

okay... if you say so...

cause windows rules! or something positive!

Because PCs have actually gotten better over the years..........

Because Mac OS has gotten worse over the years, and nothing works on a Mac

Mac doesn't have as much popularity = Mac doesn't get as much software and stuff

I think Mac OS has gotten a lot better over the years, like my system 8 computer isn't as good as 9, which isn't as good as X. Also windows has gotten better too over the years, 3.1 to 95, holy crap, what a leap, 3.1 stunk! 95 actually was useable!

I don't use a Mac because Macs can't boot Linux. I use a PC and dual boot XP Pro with Red Hat 7.3. I want Windows (Wine just isn't the same for most games), Linux & OS X, but I can only afford one comp, so I chose Windows & Linux.

Ya, I have a win machine almost strictly for games, and A mac can boot linux, there is a version of linux the boots on apple computers called Yellow dog linux. Just thought you might like to know!

There's also a version of Debian for the PowerPC (old macs)

I think you mean 68K, as that is the truly old mac, PowerPC is the current...

But there are two sets of PowerPC, the old and the new
Old= 603,603e,604,604e
New=G3,G4,(G5? IBM is developing it right now, I read on Macslash that it will be 64bit!)

I think Debs has been released for 68K and all PPC chips. It's been released for 11 platforms, mac must be fully covered surely?

you'd think...

i hate macs
-but i love unix (cuz of the penguin ;))

Tux? he belongs to Linux, not unix

I used it once. It froze up my computer and deleted the memory on my TI-86 after uploading the ROM. I haven't used it since.
