Heh heh heh. got my paintball gun yesterday, as well as a copy of windoze 2000 pro. So I was busy installing.
The sniper barrel for the gun is on backorder, though, so if it doesn't come in soon you all may stand a chance when we go out.
jesse
You can customize the Mac OS interface, and Mac OS operations, just as much as win9x. You just have to know how.
It’s also quite a bit more stable and less prone to corruption when it does crash.
Why I switched-(1)I saw how well Mac does on a day-to-day basis, in a real world environment
(2)I need to know it inside and out to work on it, and if I can't work on it then my job becomes more difficult.
(3)Their hardware is better. Their processors are faster. Hands down.
I didn't abandon PC's, or even microsuck (still use orifice) but I did move on. Mac OS is just easier to use for everyday tasks (email, internet, word processing and the like), and for anything else it isn’t much more difficult to use.
It does have its drawbacks, and they are glaring, but the benefits do outweigh them. With Virtual PC, you don’t need a PC at all, you can run any PC operating system on a Mac, and even an old G3 (the first on, I don’t know the speed) with 128meg of RAM will run 98 and NT faster than a 233mhz pentium II with the same memory. Imagine a 733 MHz G4 with half a gig. The data processing rate on that would be about double that of a 1 gig Athlon or PIII (the P4 doesn’t count-it sucks) so even with virtual pc running it would still be faster (and the G4 towers have both PCI and AGP slots)
Now imagine this-later this year they are releasing a 1gig G4, and sometime next year a G5. All at 128bit or better (I’ve heard rumors of a 256bit processor, and other rumors linking that to the G5, but I doubt it so soon)
Ok enough of that. And enough with the porn, it’s amusing but I think you’ve offended some people.
Ok then later.
