"There's no such thing as graphics card drivers."
"There's no such thing as viruses for Macs. The people at Microsoft just spread around that lie to
get you to buy their shit instead."
OR
"There's no such thing as a Macintosh. Apple just tells people they have a machine better than
PC to get people riled up about their other products."
I seriously [b]hate[/b] it when people make either of such statements. (saying that Macs suck just
so the customer will buy a PC, or saying that PCs are total shit just so they'll buy a Mac.)
Ever notice how most of the time when people believe either statement, they get the type of
computer they [b]DON'T[/b] need? (getting a $4000 Mac to play Homeworld 2, or getting a
$400 PC to make high-poly 3D models?)
A $4000 mac can not render a high-poly 3d model, you get like 2.6 GHz dual core 1 GB memory 250 GB Harddrive and a ATI Radeon X1600
A $400 PC gives you pretty much the same specs so there is no difference except of the price.

Hmm, in that case... maybe he just needs to someone to point him in the right direction

I'll have to disagree with you there. In a £1634 mac (what) you can get
2.6ghz i5
2560x1440 27-inch screen
4GB RAM
1TB hard drive
ATI Radeon HD 4850 512mb (what the fuck)

PCs are still cheaper. Way cheaper.

That price is ridiculous. You're paying a good $800-$1000 just for the brand.

Yeah. Let me just pay out the ass for a mediocre system.
You guys obviously missed the point.
He was just disclaiming the PC fanboy that he quoted.
I'm so sick of all the god damn fanboyism (mainly PC) in this thread.
One guy makes a valid point about people buying the wrong system for what they want <---Belongs in the thread
A second guy criticizes macs for being overpriced, though it is somewhat true, he obviously goes completely overboard to make a point <---- Doesn't belong in this thread
A third guy disputes the second guy's point, bringing facts in <---- Doesn't really belong but at this point any thread relation is long gone
Three people come in and make claims about the same quote pointing out the same point (over a span of a few hours I might add, so obviously didn't get ninja'd) and add nothing but more fanboyism <---- Doesn't belong in this thread
Seriously, stop with the fanboy bull, no one wants to hear it and I'm sure quite a few people would rather see the thread with no new posts than with 5 posts from a few six year-olds arguing mac vs PC shit.
Way to backseat mod there, skip.
I find Macs overly expensive; anyone know the reasoning behind it?

He wasn't backseat modding for fuck's sake. He was commenting on the fact that as soon as anyone corrects someone else's false claim about a mac, he is instantly branded a mactard. I was just saying that macs weren't [B]as[/B] bad as fatfatfatty made out to be.

I thought this thread was supposed to be people posting about computer illiterate dumbasses, not BEING dumbasses.
We get it. Macs are better than Windows PCs for certain things, but they're expensive as hell and the average user is wasting their money on one.
BEGIN RE-RAIL!!!
"Graphics cards and screen cards are different, right?"
Hear this too often.
Also;
"My computer is slow, crappy XP. I should upgrade to Vista" <- heard that once.
"i heard that if you delete system 32, your computer runs way faster!"
