Depends on your definition of flawed, but I stated that the iBook had a flawed design, not the iMac. I recall saying it worked fine except for the CD Drive. > I am really confused by your statements, you claim to have more control > over your PC than a Mac running Mac OS X? Based on what?

I didn't claim I had more control than a Mac using OS X. I haven't used OS X much. You're making a big assumption. As for OS 9, hell yes. If I want a specific program to open a document in Windows, all I have to do is change the file extension. I can even invent a new extension if I want. If I want one JPEG to open in Mozilla and the other to open in ACDSee I can do that. On my Mac, I have a bunch of RTF files that insist on opening in Simple Text. Sure I can increase the memory requirement (which is something that isn't necessary in Windows) so Simple Text can open them but they're still garbage. Instead I have to open word and then open the RTFs from within Word. That's a major hassle. I also have to manually increase the memory allotment for IE if I want Flash to play properly. Something I never had to do in Windows. > Mac users are brainwashed you said? Yes. > Windows ME never crashes you say? No, I said I've only had it crash on me once in all the time I've used it. > You don't get viruses because you keep your wits about you? Yes, they're very obvious when they arrive. If I see one I delete it, I don't need a virus program to do it for me. I've never had any problems with viruses. > Sorry but there is far too much BS for my to respect anything you say > after this. I don't viruses because there are none for Mac OS X. You > claim your wits protect you eh? Don't know much about security do you. Actually I do. I know enough that I don't need a OS that nobody makes viruses for to protect me. > Honestly, from reading your posts in these related threads you really > sound like a troll, everything is, Apple is a cult, Apple makes crap, > Windows is good, PCs are better. I never said Apple was a cult. Yes Apple makes crap, but I didn't say everything they made was crap. Yes Windows is good, and yes PCs are better. Not all of them, but I can definitely find or build a PC now a days that is better than any Mac nowadays. 5 years ago that wasn't the case. There wasn't anything better than a Wallstreet in the Laptop world. Today there's definitely stuff better than a PowerBook G4. The competitor from each range is from a different company but it's still there. Apple is too small to make the best product in every category. So is every other PC maker, but there's a lot more PC makers out there and they can specialize to a degree that Apple can't. > > And all of your statements lack substantiation ...

I'm on this list because I have a Wallstreet right now and I don't have the money to buy a Toshiba M200. It was a gift from my uncle, and it's replacing my PC desktop, but that's because I can't throw my Desktop in my backpack and type up my essays while I'm in class or on the bus. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
