Does anyone here use a MAC?

Really, you don't say :thinking: interesting.

 

I'm trying to find more information on the panel in the 30" Dell LCD. Unfortunately I'm not having luck at the moment. I'm trying to be evasive at work about it.

 

Did you spend $15k on a Mac? In that case why didn't you get Alienware? the make the most powerfull PCs for gaming...

 

I am doubting myself now. It's either the 24" or the 30" LCD.

 

because he doesn't game? Maybe he's sick of viruses or spyware or windows in general?

 

I switched over about eight or so years ago, and I can't see myself ever owning another windoze albeit I use one at work.

I just upgraded from a G4 and iBook to a MacBook - LUV DA MAC!

 

We have four Macs in our family and not one runs without flaws. It's a good OS, but by no means perfect.

My buddy said that both Dell and Apple are made by samsung, I do own a 30inch Dell right now but the Apple one looks better to me? :shead:

um.... not true...

yes I am!

Glad to hear

I agree, but MACs have less problems

 

I will be using this computer for daytrading and home movie editing. This machine is waay overkill I know, but since I was getting a deal... hey why not?

2 monitors for scrolling tickets, and the other 2 for general use. Now I can have multiple tickers all day long and still do what I do without moving windows around.

 

I have two in my family and neither have anything but a few bugs in 10.5.2.

 

I was chating with a co-worker today about Mac's and what he was telling me is quite interesting, now I honestly do'nt know much about Macs but here is wha I was told.

I was told that the new Macs have been built around the Linux operating system, which I was told the Linux system has been designed by programers that volunteer there time to improve the system and make it as fool proof as possible...so I had to ask my co-worker. So programers out in the world volunteer there time and that's how Linux came to be???? Seems a bit odd to me but okay, then co-worker kept on explaining that Linux has a bunch of programs within it's self..um..well something like that and at any time you can load up the program of choice to do what ever function you need...not sure maybe I got this part confused..but any who, some of the draw backs are compatability issues.

Oh another advatage that makes them so quick for editing videos and pictues is because of the operating system dosen't have to ask for so many permisions like the PC...hahaha this reminded me of the PC Vs Mac commercials hahahaha.

Well don't quote me on what I'm saying here I'm just sharing what I was told..well maybe I miss interpreted a few things here, sorry please feel free to corect me.

 

Linux is an open-source operating system. Which means that anyone is free to modify (or really, improve) the operating system at any point in time.

 

I got a mac book pro and I love it. Granted I am not a avid computer user other than internet but this computer has done everything I needed and never had virus once. Phil post some pics of that set up once you get it together I am dying to see it. Congrats on the computer purchase,

Got an IMac in January. I like it over my old Dell. Really no complaints.

 

Yea, but that seems strange to me...well I don't know much about Linux to be honest but let me get this straight. If I knew anything about programming and what not, I could purchase Linux load it on my computer and improve it and no one would pay me for it????....the question that comes to mind is WHY!!!! Why would anyone spend there time improving/editing Linux? What insentive is there?

The other question I have is okay so lets say I "improve" the Linux system...how does it get distributed to the entire world? Again perhaps this question is ovbous to others becuase they may know about programming and what not but I honestly have no clue about this kinda thing...any who just sharing what's in my head :crasy: :crasy:

But to be honest the more I read and learn about the Mac's the more I want to get one.

 

I've built my last 5 or 6 PCs. PCs allow you to hot rod. I've overclocked my CPU; both it and the videocard are watercooled.

I was going to buy myself an nice new black Macbook Pro, but the money I was allocating for that went to a Flex, CRSpotless, PW and other detailing paraphanelia...c'mon trimester bonus!

 

A slight correction to Pe1t. OSX is built off BSD, which is unix. It's based on most of the same principals listed above about open source and free software design. It's just, IMHO a much more stable core than Linux is.

Beat me to it. Mac OS is based off Unix. Linux is kind of built off unix as well. Mac OS is a Unix operating system, that was one of the big things for Leopard. I actually wasn't that impressed by Leopard. I mean Unix has had multiple desktops for ages! Mac OS just seems more efficient than Vista by a lot. Plus lets not forget that the macbook pro is the best laptop to run Vista on :shakehead:. I used to be a PC fan boy and thought macs were a joke...but you really just have to try it for a week or two.

 

i belive you edit it for yourself, so say you want it to run better with a certain type of editng software you can go in and change that kinda stuff... its more for personal imporvement, not improvent of thhe world. Therefore noone pays you
