The only place I have ever used a mac is in school labs and guess what the school didn't go thru the expense of relpacing the mice with ones that where not round and had more then one button. They also left the keyboard that was missing 10% of the keys. Some of the mac's had the newer optical one button mouse. All computers should come with a scroll wheel and 2 buttons at least. Also mac laptops don't have a way to add a second mouse button with out carrying around a mouse.
Heheh. You should quote The Boss directly:Originally posted by: GL
For those that claim Macs are for idiots, allow me to list some of the more prominent users of the Mac:
1. Anand Lal Shimpi (AnandTech, duh!)

Now, let's try to call Mac users idiots and not laugh at the utter stupidity of that assertion given this list.

as for personal use you need a labotmy if you buy a mac for home. they dont really do anythign but graphic work little or no games.... get a pc man.

It's amazing how dependant you people are with your mice. Do you continue to suckle your mother as well? Everything can be done via keyboard on a mac, if you cannot handle that you should probably pull your hand from under the desk and learn.

Why point non tech or mothers to a Mac, when they aren't power users that need web/mail box? Wouldn't it be better for them if they purchase a Walmart Linux special for $199.00 that don?t have popups/spyware/virus that hound PCs?Originally posted by: 0roo0roo
if mother or some non tech person needs a comp, i'll point em ot a mac. i don't need the hassle of building their pc and being free tech support. macs are decently built, reasonably cool/quiet, get the job done.
people on this forum are geeks/gamers. totally different from general population. its true the mac sucks for gaming, but really, spending 1.5-3k on a gaming machine is a tad extravagant if you really think about it. not everyone games. but for those who do, learning to build a pc is the price of entry for most. and for some dorks, computer choice is a freakin religion. religion of necessity for most since they couldn't afford to buy both to begin with
