You guys are funny. You're arguing about things that only become critical if you're using your internet connection to save lives or cure cancer or something. I use macs simply because it is part of my culture. I'm a 33 year old artist in Los Angeles. I grew up in the States, and except for a TRS-80 Radio Shack computer I started with in second grade, my life has been completely macintosh. That includes both colleges. Interesting, hunh? I just bought an iMac 2 GHz Power PC G5 with 512 MbDDR SDRAM with a 20 inch monitor, and I'm happy to piss away my hard earned $$ on half the computer (so they say) a PC user is used to, but it looks sexy, feels sexy and runs faster than my k-mart dsl can appreciate. You feel differently, you act differently and you behave differently when you use a mac. Same argument I had with my Dad about buying a used Mercedes vs. a brand new Pontaic Grand Am. People just like different things cuz they think in other, different directions. Now, all I need to do is get the iMac to run SM4 in the BACKGROUND on a MINIMIZED window so I can watch my pornos in the other, but I won't blame that on apple...I'll blame EAGAMES or Maxis. For cryin out loud!! from a. j.
