| Why is it that after I manage to convince work to buy a 20" iMac, Apple go and release an even bigger one ?
Oh I want one... so very badly. I have a 20" Cinema Display, but the idea of having a glorious 24" screen with a nice, happy fast Mac.... I want.... Curse you, Apple. |

I reckon Apple should give us a free upgrade 
But I doubt work will buy a new Macintosh any time soon. They're not very... Mac... savvy yet. They have not yet succumbed to the Cult of Mac. But soon... yes... soon They'll come around to my way of thinking 
Still... dammit Apple... I can't afford that 24" piece of hardware yumminess... 
EDIT: AWWWWW GOD FUCKING DAMMIT APPLE WHYYYYYYYYY And I just bought a Mac Mini, too (edited by Tarale on 09-06-06 10:32 AM) |

| Yeah, it has a line that intermittently appears down the screen. I don't blame Apple... DOA hardware failures can happen to any company. It's a fact that there are occasionally bad batches of components that wind up in various manufacturer's products (Sony Batteries, anyone?), and stuff like that. But it does annoy me though... more how long a local business here is taking to warranty the damned thing (again, not Apple's fault; but my colleagues can't tell that). It's apparently video ram on the logic board.
I don't necessarily want to convert my colleagues into rabid mac fans, but I would much rather see them not bashing it based on a stupid hardware glitch, and their own weird misconceptions about Macintoshes.
I'd like to convert them into well-rounded IT individuals who are willing to work with other operating systems besides Windows. Or at the very least, I'd like to convince them that the Mac will not fangoriously rip their arm off.
If they join the Cult on the way... It's just cause that 20" iMac is so pretty  (edited by Tarale on 09-06-06 11:02 AM) |

HA! Just give me a newer mobo for my OG G3 iMac (350 MHz slot-loader, if you must know) and I'll be all set. That and a slot-loading DVD-RW. 
(pets the slightly damaged, but nonetheless worthwhile Indigo model) |

| My ideal computer, (the most expensive mother f'n AlienWare, which I'll buy when I hit the lotto) would probably be outdated the day after I buy it, so your not alone.
As for DOA crap, the most annoying thing I've had is a flat panel with a dead pixel, on the taskbar in Windows. Not to annoying, but I see it everyday. (edited by SuperLuigi64 on 09-06-06 08:57 PM) |

| I don't know how that's really possible for them to do it more often than anyone else really. I just think Apple users complain louder (edited by Tarale on 09-07-06 02:27 AM) |

| I kinda picture Apple fans being spoiled brats now.
I'm still using the same PC as when I joined Acmlm board with. xD I'm getting tired on it though... I like big screens though... ...1,999 USD? I get alot more in the IBM PC clone family for the same amount. 
Edit: On the other hand, it's probably the monitor that makes it so costly... (edited by Ailure the sexy catboy on 09-07-06 04:40 AM) (edited by Ailure the sexy catboy on 09-07-06 04:41 AM) |

| NOT bashing macs, I just don't like them. Sorry, I don't. We use them in my Graphics I class with photoshop and it does what it was made to do. I'm just so used to PC and Windows. Besides, you can't use Windows programs on it (LM, a lot of emus, and of course, PC games.) I prefer the UI of Windows and PCs.

| With PC, I assume you people mean IBM PC clones*.
Becuse, as far I know Macintosh and even Lisa is PC's too.

| Oh, they released iTunes 7.0 and the 1.2 firmware update for 5G iPods today. Aside from a bunch of neat features like downloading album covers, purchasing movies (US only) and an updated interface... THEY HAVE GAMES. *_*
I don't care for most of the 9 games available now, mind you, but I would *love* Tetris and Pac-Man for my iPod.  |

You know, a Nintendo DS costs about $130. A 4GB CF card costs maybe $100-$150. GBA Media Player and Max Media Launcher both cost $20. That totals $270 to 320 for something that plays more music formats and better games than iPod with 4GB of storage.  (Obviously you could go for a smaller card if it fits your needs.) |
