iPhone Sucks and Apple are Bastards

macpappy · 04-15-2010, 10:01 PM

The last page and a half makes me want to ask my question again....

If the moderators can ban political discussions, why can't they ban Mac vs. PC threads?

I don't really give a dam that there is a "billion" more applications written for PCs then there are for Macs. How many of the applications do the same thing as 10 or 15 others. I can safely say that I've been a Mac user since 1987 and while there have been all sorts of computer games written for the PC that Mac users can play, I don't care.

I run my own business. I do everything on the Mac. I have a Macbook Pro which I use for all of my book keeping. Guess what? I run the same version of Quickbooks Pro that my CPA uses. When it came time to do my taxes, I made a backup of my files, give it to her and she did my taxes. No Problem.

I run a spreadsheet program. I run a word processing program. I run all the professional software that I need to make money. I have a calendar, an email client, a language translator. Hell! I even play World of Warcraft on my Macs.

My point is that there is software out there for the Mac that allows me to do whatever I want to do.

As for Apple having such tight control on their products. SO FREAKING WHAT! That's probably why we have FEWER problems with viruses and worms than other personal computing systems.

I buy Apple products because I like them. That doesn't make me a lemming, an idiot, a fanboy or someone who buys Apple because it' the "in" thing to buy.

If you don't like Apple products THEN DON'T BUY THEM. If you don't use them THEN DON'T SIT THERE AND TALK ABOUT THEM BEING PIECES OF CRAP BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW.

If you have used them and don't like them, then good. That's your choice. It's a free country. Buy what you like.

I thought the question was tongue-in-cheek.

Why not ban Cuban cigar Vs. non-Cuban cigar threads then?

I think we should ban all threads that involve any possibility of opposing viewpoints

Im cereal right.
Lets just ban everything, no debate, no discussion.

I am sure part of some recent erage was from my posts. Like I said I own and use both products. I use my titanium with Imovie for video family video stuff. I use my PCs for gaming and media center at the house because its better. However the Mac owns for video editing.

As to the no viruses and worms if memory servers its part the code used for the OS and part as pointed out earlier that the market share is so small hackers generally dont want to waste the effort on such a small user base.

I do find it funny a mac user is calling for content control as to whats posted as Apple is known for that.

Pink Unicorns rock per my 2 year old daughter.

We'd have to change our name but pvff.com is already taken.
