I think I get your point of view and I believe things can be interpreted in a different way all the time. For instance, about the hardware; is it just that Apple offers a limited range of cards based on profitability or because redesigning the hardware would cost money?Also contrary to your view, I see more Linux users using Mac as more Mac users converting to Linux/ exploring new platforms

Just to start with, Firefox 3 works great here on my Mac, but on my office RHEL4 machine, it requires too many dependencies to be installed, which of course no admin would allow me to! Hence, the dislike for Firefox 3! No offence meant!For schumi, I completely respect your decision not to "engage with me"! I thought I had tried my best not to bash Microsoft, and definitely did not try to peeve

I am shortening the quotes if you all don't mindQUOTE (adroit_91 @ Dec 17 2008, 12:40 PM)Apple not being a commoditized brand means, ... (Anyone who says that Apple doesn't allow you to customize your system, has definitely not been introduced to the Mac Pro!)Agreed that Apple provides some choices but is that really comparable to what you get in a PC arena? Plus I do not need anyone to dictate

Ok, you are really taking this to another level, i must admit i didn't read all of it.The part where you mention you know jackshit about computers showed me who i am dealing with and i resign , wow, such humility ! You really should realize that discussions happen when you consider yourself at same level as others. Please leave this particular lesser mortal alone , none of us asked for your life

I'd said:Let's start with: "Hail Steve"!! [Not Jobs, but Wozniak, the real Engineer behind the PC revolution! When did it exactly become Macs vs. the PC!! ]Dude "dude" [get another nick please, it's a problem addressing you here! ], I understand that Apple "seems" to be charging a premium on it's computers, but, let me assure you, once you own one, you will never regret it! Just for a comparison,

Why use Mac?

Apple not being a commoditized brand means, you're sure about what you're buying. Students (coming to gamers in a while) buy the Macbooks (Black/White doesn't matter!), Pros buy Macbook Pros (at least you agree it is the epitome of industrial design!), and for the rest of the junta, who just need to "consume" media (not my words!), their's the Air.

How to kill time?

There is something about time that has made people exaggerate its value! They say, time is money! I say, if that was true, I'd probably feature on the next Forbes's list of Top 10 richest people around. Why? Simply because time is all that I have got. Well, let me explain...When you enrol for an Engineering degree, apart from the exclusive appellatives like geek, nerd and weirdo, what you bargain
