Thank you, Mr. I'm a 50 post n00b.
Like I said, I could care less about your opinion. When you start saying that I'm "wrong" for having mine, though, it's time for you to fuck off.
Macs rule.
Apple sucks shit.
Nothing you say will change my mind, son.

MEGA GOOD

It's not that you have an opinion, it's that you spread untruths. If you would have stated, "I prefer Redhat 9" and left it at that you'd have no issue with me; instead you make up a list of fictitious complaints against Apple. Lying, or speaking in an uninformed manner, is not the same as having an opinion.
So far you've made the following acquisitions; all of which are untrue.
[*]Apple forces users to purchase new machines 'every year' to run the latest version of OS X
Not true. The latest version of OS X runs on iMacs dating back to 1998, and has gotten constantly faster with each upgrade.
[*]You were not given 'full support' on your iMac and were 'ripped off'
Initially I assumed you were the owner of an early G3, and possibly felt ripped off, perhaps justifiably so given the class-action lawsuit's outcome. However it turns out you were not part of this group, and your Mac was fully supported by Apple, and continues to be. Many people are using your same machine comfortably with OS X.
[*]Apple has a history of supporting machines for approximately seven years, but ceased to do so with OS X
As stated already, OS X has become speedier on older hardware and runs on machines that are 6 years old; in some cases even older machines are running OS X with the help of XPostFacto.
[*]The iApps collectively require at least a 500mhz G4 processor; an unnamed iApp requires a 1ghz G4. Apple intentionally increases the requirements for the iApps so they do not run on older machines.
Blatantly false as only two of the iApps (Garageband and iDVD) require anything above a 600mhz G3; iDVD being the most demanding requires a 733mhz G4, and rightfully so. Also keep in mind that Garageband didn't appear until iLife '04, and considering what it can do even 600mhz is a modest requirement.
[*]Mac users are 'milked for all they're worth'
Yet on average we keep our machines longer than most PC users do, and make less hardware upgrades.
[*]OS X is actually fast, but suffers from a sluggish GUI
A quite different claim than your original, which in case you forgot, was that Apple refuses to support older machines. Nonetheless it's a subjective claim that many would disagree with.

The content of your writing is better determined by the facts contained within it, not how many posts you have made -- whether it be 2000 or 15. Some how I will learn to deal with my 'newbie' status knowing that I don't intentionally spread mistruth and act like a general ass when proven wrong. Thanks for trolling though.

In an attempt to put this thread back on track after so many people have tried their best to derail it...
quote:I hate M$ simply because IMO they are a sub branch of the NSA....or worse. Why maintain an OS that is capable of multiple exploits????

So Tom Ridge is cooking up Windows, eh? Whatever you say, conspiracy man.
quote:Why would a company do this I wonder. Best way to maintain computer surveillance is to produce an OS that is soooo completely open to as many exploits as can be gotten away with that it would be easy to monitor what the user does. Back in the mid to late 90's a bill (cant recall its name) was presented to the US congress togive the feds and others the authority to enter premises etc etc to confiscate a users system on the slimmest of evidence. It was narrowly defeated, fortunately.
--- End quote ---
Did you know that things like that come up in Congress all the time?
OH NO THE GUBMIT IS GUNNA TAKE OVER!!!!
quote:Sp2 is only another way to secretly plant further means to allow exploits. Remember in win95 the *.nsa extension and many thought it was an NSA thingy. Even if it wasn't the concern was there then.
--- End quote ---
I never knew anybody that thought that. My friends and I always thought it was funny, though. We got a good laugh making fun of people who would think that it had something to do with THA GUBMIT.
quote:I did install the sp2 and deleted it the same day as a piece of shit. ms dont fix bugs they are ordered to create them.

This thread is about SP2, not Apple. Go to the Apple section to bitch about them, or I'll have to bin this mofo.
