[QUOTE=Dr Smashy;18050935]Perhaps it would be better if the OP told us what he uses his computer for.
So that if he answers wrong we can make fun of him more accurately.[/QUOTE]
No wonder you have a Phd!

[QUOTE=rb_pk;18051046]i just use it for editing my videos and music
I use a PC for all the fun stuff like gaming and internet browsing[/QUOTE]
You can do all of those things on a Windows based computer (hurdur DaNoob) you know.
[QUOTE=DaNoob;18051070]
Also, why get a Mac just to edit videos and music? There are programs for Windows that can do that perfectly fine.[/QUOTE]
It was a gift why waist a gift?
[QUOTE=evilking1;18050862]Actually, they do last longer physically.
The build quality is a lot better than those regular shitty plastic market computers that break on a bad gaze, and resell value is a lot better compared to PC hardware.
^Rate disagree - do not reply[/QUOTE]
Well you see when you buy that "shitty plastic market computer" its about $200-300 as apposed to a low end mac going for twice that price. If you actually made smart investments (which I'm pretty sure that's foreign concept to you because you're supporting a mac) and spend $500-$700 you will get a very decent computer that will last you around 6 years. Never mind if you decide to go big or make a custom build, which by the way is not possible with a mac.

That's from Win9x. We're talking about WinNT.
I love how you say Windows is cheaper, while Apple marks the price of their computers up %100
[b]Why Macs are awful, a simple price comparison I made because I was bored:[/b]
[b]The best Mac Pro money can buy:[/b]

[i]Of course, I also counted case, keyboard, mouse, speakers, motherboard, a copy of Windows Seven, AND a copy of Windows XP. The PC above is a completely working PC.[/i]

And of course, there's not a single thing OSX does better than Windows, they're just different. You're paying $9330.15 for the brand, which you could be spending on an even better computer, or two.
I hope a mod locks this quickly. There's no way this guy'll get out alive.
$105AUD seems pretty cheap to me.
A Mac equivalent to my PC is nearly double what I spent in 2007, and thats for 2009.
It's okay, OP. Let's forget these guys and go play TF2 or start a 3Ds max project together or import files from an average camera using built-in software or one of the many other things I enjoy on my PC. Wait a second...

Also Win7 is pretty cheap when you look at the fact SL is only $30 for a Leopard to Snow Leopard upgrade and it's over $100 otherwise. Ignoring the technicalities.

You can't have that in *NIX because the best in the Windows world is just how fucking easy it is. I know you know your way around everything and whatnot, however I don't know many people who'd rather piss about in the terminal, have to get restricted drivers, configuring X (good lord when will this shit be killed off) etc. As for customization, have at it.
Hey, Quarter, make a modest rig that can max TF2 and then see how much cash you have to blow to get something equivalent on a Mac.

Stop this "I'm a Mac" shit. You use a Mac. You are not a Mac. If you were a Mac, you would not be able to talk about it.
Also games

Take it down a notch tough guy, I am not defending anything, just saying that Macs are well constructed, and have a good resell value. Didn't say that they are the best value for money.
