When did that happen? Macs are far cheaper if you have a real job /

don't have time to goof around. Macs are the best choice for

professionals for that reason alone. It seems only the unemployed use

Linux, isn't that interesting...

And what would be a decent PC? compared to a similarly price Mac? Opps,

there are none. That's the beauty of going with the correct solution

from the start. You gain money that way... PCs are just slapped

together, but Apple spends TONS of time to make sure even the slightest

detail is double checked for a lifetime of service.

Apple spends time on the deeper aspects of computing, eye candy has

never been their aim. Sure, Macs work better than PCs or Linux, we all

know that, but it's rooted in that Apple spends so much time making sure

the the machine works perfectly from the eyeball to the finger tip,

Windows and Linux simply don't have the engineering resources to pay

attention to every detail like Apple does.

Great, and it all runs on Macs... thanks for the links, even though you

are losing about 50% of the Mac if you try and run Linux on them.

 

Quality is Apple's aim, and Linux simply can't measure up.

"...to show the downfall of ..."

I am not sure how.

 

It does give another hardware option for Windows users thus in a small

way increasing the value of Windows.

The greater flexibility for Windows installations can only be good for

Microsoft, Windows and Windows users since Windows can run on more

hardware.

there are more choices and choice is good for consumers.

Perhaps Microsoft owes thanks the Mac for increasing the value of

their product.

 

Microsoft does not sell hardware and where users get their hardware

makes little difference to Microsoft.

If users get their hardware with Windows, it is normally OEM with a

smaller price tag and margin of profit.

If users acquire their own hardware be it a Mac or something else,

then they purchase Windows themselves at a higher cost.

Thats why my Macbook Pro has an annoying Bright white pixel dead in

it is acceptable. All the $399.00 Acers I have bought at work for

salesman use have had perfect screens.

No, it is not. However, I am seeing this thread on comp os linux

advocacy (which has a serious infestation of pro-M$ trolls, some of them

possibly paid astrturfers). It is extensively cross posted.

People on COLA can get a bit paranoid about nymshifting trolls being

everywhere because we have such turds as Gary Stewart AKA flatfish, who

maintains over 300 nyms.

no jerry, apple will fix a stuck on pixel if you just ask.

 

sounds like you have never talked or shown them the manufacturing flaw.

Yet not a single one has ever been proved.

However, High Plains Drifter, Roy Culley, Peter Kohlmann and others

have been caught red handed trolling.

the point oxford, is if 'even the slightest detail is double checked,' as

was the claim, why does jerry even need to ask, as it would have been

caught.

bet is on, you are forgetting apple builds the fastest laptop in the

world. dell, since it does no engineering, nor board design can't begin

to compete at apple's level.

 

so yes, go ahead and try and build a faster laptop using dell "chopshop"

So do most manufacturers.

They ALL have criteria regarding stuck/dead pixels.

 

My advice?

If it's under warranty, stick it in the microwave for 15

seconds..........

Save your data first....

ah, but that is only official policy, if you go into an apple store and

ask them nicely, and Jerry actually has a stuck "on" pixel, they will

replace it every time.

i wasn't speaking to manufacturing defects, just engineering / design.

 

but again, if jerry wants it fixed, all he has to do is ask.

Microsoft probably gets 2-3x te revenue off the sale of Windows to a

Mac user than to an OEM. So this is bad for Microsoft how?

Really! I have quite a few friends who are Mac heads, and I get along fine

with them even though I'm a "softie".

 

The funny thing is a few of those Mac heads are quite happy with Vista

running on there machines. (Boot Camp) ect...

 

They, of course wouldn't touch XP, but they like Vista. (And they come to me

for advice on how to run it.)

 

So if MS can get a good chunk of Mac users to buy Vista as their 2nd, Win

compatible OS, they are making out like bandits.

This is so lovely. A note to the saner people out there - the dickhead

known as "Ben" is a well known nym shifter. Paranoia *is* a prerequisite

for joining COLA. Jump in. It's a super role playing game. The main

issue is people like "Ben" getting their grammar mixed up and giving

themselves away. Ask Rafael all about it. Note : better to keep one

Avatar running. Then you get bonus points when you are told you really

are "spike1" or "Mark Kent". Then you really know that you have hit the

jackpot. It's like winning money for impersonating the village idiot.
