You had me at iChat "hello"

I chat with me buddy!

I have to say I've never been thrilled with XP. Before moving to OS X in 2001 my primary systems ran NT4 and Windows 2000. They were perfectly serviceable for the most part but I actually think I had better stability with NT4, and it was less picky about hardware changes underneath. I used the same NT install over 3 or 4 motherboard changes which was rather cool. The first time I tried that on Win2k and it took a big dump.

I ran Vista on a test machine for about a week. It was the RC2 release, the last semi-public build before it went Gold/RTM. It's a very "pretty" OS but most of those whizbang features they were promising when it was called "Longhorn" back in 2003 are missing. MS is, also, trying to make it so that apps can't freely write back to their own folders in the Program Files directory. This is breaking some pretty simple apps in various ways. I'm predicting Vista is going to require more $$$ spent on upgrades than we've seen since the switch from Win 3.x to Win95.

I, also, don't see the reason for such steep hardware requirements for all the eye candy (given OS X has produced some pretty fancy stuff even on lowly 233Mhz systems with 4MB video cards), or the need for 5 or 6 different version of the OS, topping out at something like $400 for Vista Ultimate Edition.




Nothing wrong with that. Look and feel is highly under-rated.

I don't like Macs.

Explain to me how I'm wrong.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Are you the only person on this thread who has trouble comprendending what jfolden and I have been posting?

AsianBomb777 said:

I think we're just dealing with someone who can't 'comprehend' why they're wrong.

FruitToAttractBears said:

I rest my case.

AsianBomb777 said:

You are arguing with my OPINION which I've formed based off my experiences with Macs. So you both needed to shut the fuck up a LONG time ago.

FruitToAttractBears said:

I like macs.

jtfolden said:

I've only see screenshots of Vista, and I must say it's delicious looking.
I won't be upgrading to it right away though--there's no reason to right now, unless it's proven to be more stable or software on the shelves start requiring it.

I'm more excited about the upcoming version of Office. It's TOTAL bloatware of course but I love their office product when it works correctly.

You don't have to be a cunt about it love. I never said you were not entitled to express your opinion. And I concede that you don't appear to have enough technical experience to validate actual facts outside of a personal experience. But I never ever at anytime said your opinion was wrong. Ever.
What I said was, it is not true that XP is as stable as you stated. I responded to that alone.

I mean, if it upset you so much, pick up a book or google the information and when you open your mouth next time, you may actually have facts that will cause us to just nod our heads and say... very good! very good!

FruitToAttractBears said:

You posted mistruths and got called on it, regardless of whether you believe they were true or not. Any remotely mature person with real input to offer recognizes that they can't go around hiding behind the term 'opinion' like a get out of jail free card when it comes to making inaccurate, blanket statements. Sorry.


btw, Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

jtfolden said:

You know, I could continue trying to make you understand, but that'd just take me back to my previous post. "fuck you" is much easier and conveys the point much better than rational discussion, in dealing with the likes of you, anyway. So forget it.

And I guess I'll just have to concede to your superior maturity, which you've clearly exhibited by stooping to condescension when that clearly has nothing to do with the topic at hand and you know absolutely nothing about me.

FruitToAttractBears said:

I know all I need to for the sake of this thread... and that you chose cussing over rational discussion when you're called on something that wasn't true says quite a lot. I'm sorry we don't live in a world where you can be correct all the time, it must be so frustrating for you.

jtfolden said:

I don't have a problem with the world. Just the Mac users in it.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Once again displaying the attitude that you brought into the thread to begin with... Turning this into a Mac vs PC thing doesn't cover up your mistakes. Thanks for playing.

jtfolden said:

Once again making shit up.
I never did that. You might want to check post #6.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Once again conveniently forgetting your own entries.
You might try checking post #4 first... and then #8. I know you're not trying to blame your comments on someone else now, are you? Is that you or did someone hijack your account?

this thread BOMBS!

jtfolden said:

I'm not forgetting anything. You seem to be forgetting the point you just made a post ago about me turning this into a Mac v. PC thing, which as I just pointed out, is not true. And as for 'blaming my posts on someone else' I have no idea what you're talking about and clearly, neither do you.

FruitToAttractBears said:

I'm really concerned about your mental welfare. How did you point it out? By referencing AB's reply to your ORIGINAL post? By insinuating that "someone else started it first" What?

As to the rest, I suppose I must spell it out for the children among us. You seem perfectly content to ignore the content of your own posts... the content that people were responding to, to begin with... Don't you find it odd that several people have popped on list saying they don't like Macs and no one has said a single thing to them... must be some logical reason why your posts were singled out... hmmmm.

I find it hilarious that you're getting so worked up over this but thanks for making a few boredom filled moments pass more quickly.

jtfolden said:

One, no you're not. Stop with the condescension, and re-read post #63 again very carefully. Anyway, I'll break down slowly for you what I thought you'd be able to realize on your own. Before AB's post, no one had ever mentioned PCs in the thread, including myself. Therefore, it is incorrect to accuse ME of being the one to bring up that arguement.



Maybe it's because I stated WHY I don't like them, which somehow you interpreted as an opportunity to argue those points. I KNOW you disagree. That doesn't mean you can tell me I'm wrong or imply that I'm lying just because you can't relate.



Going back and forth with the likes of you ain't really my style, but at least now I only have 20 minutes 'till my shift is over.

FruitToAttractBears said:

Yes I am! because you seem truthfully incapable seeing what you've posted... but oh well.. there's your age showing again!




No it isn't, you came into the thread offering nothing beyond play-school material and it was responded to in kind. You didn't have any valid input in your first post.... and your second one was no better. Like I said before, are you trying to blame AB for your attitude?




You stated them as blanket facts, not opinions. Just because you slapped an IMO on one of the sentences doesn't change what came before or what you were saying as a whole. If you didn't mean what you said then you shouldn't have typed it like that and then get bent out of shape when people know it's not true.

Taken at face value, the following comment, one of many, is untrue:

"Apple: shit freezes, there's nothing you can do except restart the comp and lose whatever you were working on."

This reflects on your lack of knowledge, and possibly getting stuck with a computer at work that no one takes care of... but, like it or not, technically it's untrue the way you've stated it.



No, your style is just a lot of cussing...
