Hello all I'm back! (I have been away so no posts from me recently - sorry - if you care)
I don't have a alot of time so I shall just quickly give you a brief overview and might return to this again later.
What I am basically saying here is that to use a Mac is the easiest thing in the world - you might say that Windows is easy (how about 'Turn off' instead of 'Shut Down') but with a Mac you just don't need to waste time fiddiling, I have had to spend loads of time trying to get Windows to do something (just this eaving it ran auto-run for a memory stick about 7 times) but when I get to the Mac, I know - the chances it doesn't work are sitting right there ontop of ZERO

That Hurt - not
Ok listen hear - what have you argued against Apples? HEY!?!? I would also like to ask you this? Have you ever used a Apple? Your only VALID argument against Apples is the price (I am about to address that) and Gameing (but you still get Games for Mac). But even R10 000 for a simple Apple isn't that much (one of your Hp's will cost more than that - I think) and if you can't let go of those little games then you ARE SAD.
By the way - is it just me or are wasting forum space with your pointless one lined posts - maby thats as far as you can type...

I can't afford a Ferrari - doesn't mean they are bad
A Ferrari is expensive - but good, a Mac is expensive and also good, but a Mac is alot more affordable (compare things) than a Ferrari is.

Bored with this petty squabling...
Yo guys,
small suggestion here- let this thread go dormant & rather send each other Private Messages, there is no need for the rest of us to be subjected to a barney over something so trivial

Okay I'm seeing alot of mac support from 3 lonley people 
lmao......first off i will tell you why mac's are to big for their pants. they are bragging about osx being all this and that well take a look at vista baby all osx is is xp with visual upgrades and now microsoft has that, then game support mac games are very limited and most dont run as well as on a pc, then you take into consideration how hard it is to get software or hardware for a mac it's insane, and then the prices of not only the computers but then the software and hardware thats another draw back, and i see all this talk about if you had money then why not get one well the only way you achieve money in the bank is by not spending it on rediculose stuff (ie.Mac's).And now lets talk about the real subject apple has realized that there processors are out of date and thats why they are converting over to Intel's processors now i am not a huge Intel fan as i have always run AMD processors but i think it was a verry smart move for apple. as here is the real kicker for all the mac lovers out there they are slowly starting to impliment their plan to convert over to regular pc components as apple realizes that they are making no progress in the personal computer realm. i am not going to argue that mac's are not good for design and mutimedia aplicatons as they are now on the other hand they are not good computers for main stream america.........

His arguments belong in a two year old thread.thnks for digging up a 2 yr old thread.
"Converting over to intel?" Past tense - converted. They dont use anything other than intel and havent for a while now?
Osx is somehow "xp with visual upgrades" even though OsX was out months before XP. OsX must have invented a time machine too.
"convert over to regular pc components" - there you go again - converted and, like the switch to intel, we're loving it. Prices drop and specs rise.
Somehow many pc fans use the game thing as if it actually means something - if I want to run games I load up XP, big deal.
Come back in another two years
No anti TIAL suit for you.

You typed that whole mess and still managed to not make a single valid point. Poor form.

As soon as you can install AutoCAD on a Mac, Apple will get much more customers. And no, I don't want to use 'Bootcamp' - don't want to boot between OSes the whole time - will drive me completely nuts.
Also, game support is not the Mac OS's strongest point. Yes, you can make nice piccies with iPhoto, nice tunes with iTunes, but it just is not a complete all-in-one like a pc.

Aaah - I just read the whole thread and cannot fathom for the life of me why this argument even went 5 pages... Kids arguing about 'my dad is better than yours' ... I would not even bother with this any further.

Look at the date of the first post - it was posted before Apple got into bed with Intel...
I wonder - does/would AutoCAD work under parallels?
The games argument might be valid, esp if you're insistent on not willing to acknowledge bootcamp, but I work for a living
Besides - I'll take my 360 and plasma over a pc any day of the week. 
EDIT - a quick search of Parallels forum would lead me to conclude AutoCAD runs under parallels.
