I know this question has been asked before, but I want to know what my commrades out there think about important matters.

I have always been very anti-mac (mainly because my dad worked for IBM for over 20 years) however, I've been using macs a little bit at work, and have even had to support them.....I'm not a mac hater anymore (but you won't catch me on one of thoes "I switched" mac commericals either). I like the OSX, they have a nice GUI, but i can't imagine switching.

ever.

and as far as games go....there is a reason the XBox was built from PC parts.

Alright!

I am seeing the nimbers, and they are good thus far.

After all, a styrafoam cup has a lot of versatility.

My honest advice: NEVER USE A MAC. I honestly can't give you an honest opinion on this, since I've never owned a Mac, but frankly, I never hope to own one.
Ask Howkeye, he named his firstborn "Macsrtrash. Mad" (his firstborn personality that is, his first born son hasn't seen his first day yet. Laughing)

If you rubbed it on the right surface, you could generate static electricity a VERY inexpencive generator. Then you can get charged up, and touch someone in the room - A very good wepon! Especially if you touch them when they're not expecting it. So I think in these ways a styrofoam cup is way better!

Yeah, and besides, you can pour water into a crumpled styrafoam cup, and watch it flow out!

Also, while it is fun to destroy macs (i.e. throw them down the stairs, throw them at a cat etc.) this is discussing macs as a gaming system. I can't MAKE myself have fun when I'm on a mac. Very Happy

Hehe... They have potatoe launchers, sock launchers, so why not a mac launcher?


Also, considering all the (excellent) anti mac sentiment, check out this site. http://www.powlus.net/macintrashin/
