No, "I don't have problems" means "I don't have problems."

The second windows 7 is released my iMac is getting wiped... The other 4 pc's and 3 laptops in my house are all running XP and Vista and they are ALL more stable than this OSX crap. ( I do have boot camp running on it now with windows 7 Beta btw)... The only product apple makes that's useful is the iPods and iPhones and even then it's only if you Jail break them that they become a good device... end rant >_<

you must be doing something wrong or weird for osx to be that unstable.

same story with the ipod...which is junk. Why on earth would someone buy an audio player from a company that has no experience designing/creating audio products.

I am a die-hard sony walkman owner and would never buy an ipod. Especially after listening to one. Sounds terrible and big thing with me is they sell with no remotes. They're so small you put in your pocket and when you want to do something you have to pull it out of you pocket. Sony always had remotes in line with the headphones that have LCDs that control and display everything. Ipod...Junk... Only reason it has sold so well, kids & celebrities buy em up thinking they're cool. Plus no competition from the beginning. I don't know how sony f*cked up this market.

Just like Bose all marketing, all hype.

shay2nak · 09-06-2009, 11:54 PM

I guess most people are that gullable...

haahaha! I love Office Space. That movie is totally about me!

I used to workout with my walkman and my earbuds never fell out, but I never did cardio either.

Right now I have Sony MDR-EX90LP and they fit & sound great. I bought about 4 different headphones (all sony, since they were easiest to find) and this one sounded the best. Hard to find a good set of earphones.

Me too. Couldn't find any that would stay in, until I got these:
Amazon.com: Sennheiser MX75 Twist-To-Fit In-Ear Stereo Sport Headphones: Electronics
Stay in great; sound is decent.

I bought my iPod because it of all the aftermarket things you can buy for it. I especially like my Klipsch dock and the fact that I can control it from my car stereo (Alpine).

True, but there's no problem. I monitor reads and writes to the hard drive, traffic through the firewall, etc. If there's an issue, it's not enough of an issue to be an issue. It's a PC not rocket science and I don't lie awake at night in some paranoid state about PC invasion. Maybe you should unplug for a while before it gets to you.

And more to my original point, I can't think of a reason I would ever buy a Mac to which, your same point would still apply.

That is sort of true, although PC is alot better due to the fact it can use and detect any hardware... Mac on the other hand is suited to specific hardware, you can only use a certain graphics card range with it. It only supports Intel Processors at the moment and not AMD whats the point in that everyone knows Intel processors are crap and i am a AMD guy... so in a sense yes they are basically the same things only PC is alot more user friendly and expandable
