My dad wants to buy a new comp today and I'm trying to talk him into an Apple. There's no justifying the price spec-wise but all he's into is photos and videos so I think it would be easier...
Mac isnt an operating system, the operating system on macs are OS9 (shitty old macs) and OSX (awesome new macs) OSX = by far the best operating system going around
I have 2 OSX laptops, 2 PC desktops and 1 linux desktop. Voted for OSX. I use it 90% of the time. Like now for instance.
Now if only someone would write software for it or at the very least it could run software written for OS9 without emulation.
It has a whole bunch of software, teh only downfall being some games, which arent ported. The OS9 emulation is truly seemless, there is basically zero speed drop between using an OS9 program emulated or restarting in OS9 and using it there. Not that i have any OS9 programs.
Back in Win98/ME days I swore off Windows and used Linux for a year or so (Mandrake mostly). Then WinXP came out and rocked my world... I'd still love to own an Apple if they were ANYWHERE near cost competative (my dad is buing a new comp' and I was looking at Apple but they're impossible to justify...)
