BUG MY ASS!

That should be read, we though we could screw you but you caught us...

I'm waiting for rev 2.0, 20-30 gigs HD should have been in there.

Besides in 2 months it will be 33% cheaper, if the iPhone is a bell weather.

Har! My Apple/Mac bomb went off pretty well I see, though I didn't anticipate it coming down to a iPod/iTouch/iPhone/iDontCare debate.

iDrones drive me nuts. Trendy doesn't make something good. That's all I say on that. (Yes I'm aware that hating on popular trendy things can also been seen as Trendy and the irony involved in that whole mess ... I just wish people would buy something because it is good, and not just because everyone else has it.)

On the PC/Mac debate though, both are great machines but are for different types of people. Personally, I feel that using a Mac is like driving an automatic car. You aren't really driving, you're just a passenger that steers.

Kevin.

Actually if you look at the Microsoft's history of hardware products they are usually high in quality, if not the best in the market.

Kevin Kevin Kevin, hating on automatics, are you trying to start another war? Hell my car doesn't even have gears... (well I'm sure it has cogs and what not, but it doesn't have gear set points per say, its CVT)

Oh no! Not the spray!

I'm melting ... meellllllllll tiiinnnng.




I guess you can accuse me of trolling, but I was merely throwing some half hearted lobs.

But for some reason I feel the need to clarify/defend myself.

I never said that iDevices were horrible and no one should by them. I said that people who buy them because they are trendy drive me nuts. As you stated clearly, you didn't. So I have no qualms with you.

As for PC's being manuals that break down all the time ... I've worked with Macs off and on for most of my life growing up (through the 80s though I thought my Amiga was way better then both PCs and Macs, less then the 90s .. only using them in school computer labs) and for the last few years I've pretty much only dealt with them through friends/family that own them, though I did do a short (2 month) stint of router tech support for d-link and had to deal with macs there too. In all that experience, I'd agree that PC's break down more often, but not nearly as big of a gap as people would have you believe (try coding pointers in pascal on a mac!). The difference I have found (and I'll admit that it's most likely by my own inexperience with Macs) is that when a PC breaks down, I can usually fix the problem in a reasonable short period of time. When a Mac breaks down, I'll be ripping out my hair trying to find the problem, and then more time trying to fix the problem.

The reason why I alluded to Macs are like automatics is because as long as you are doing straightforward user operations and do them exactly in the matter that MacOS has been designed, you are ok. But if you try to do something a different way, or a more direct way you're out of luck. For example, I can think of at least 7 ways to open an explorer window in Windows without using desktop shortcuts. Kind of like I can choose whatever gear I want in a manual car

And I know all this comes off with a disparaging tone against automatics/Macs, but the point I'm trying to make is that neither is necessarily better then the other, they are just suited better to different people. If you've noticed, I never said a general "PCs are better" statement. I would however say that "PCs are better for me".

Also, it IS possible to have a Mac/PC debate in a civilized manner! It hasn't happened for me through internet mediums, but I have had several in person!
