At least viruses arent really much of a worry.

:)

I used to use a mac, a looooong time ago, that is what my parents had (first a quadra, then a g3)

i re-wrote a 12 page short story into a word processor on the quadra, and by the time i was done (i revise as i type), it had grown from 12 pages written to 20 pages typed. then the machine crashed and i lost everything.


I bought my own PC right after than and never looked back... fucking macintosh....

They have a ton of power, but good luck getting software for them, and machines are so godamn powerful on both sides these days that it doesnt matter if you have a pc.

It just seems to me that the macs OS10 have just tried to copy windows but just in a really bollox way. Every little function or supposedly time saving thing isn't time saving at all.

Got a PC at home and I love it. Simple, easy to use. Got XP on it and i've heard mixed reviews bout that but I like it. Getting hooked up to broadband at the weekend so I can finally log on to the net at home rather than just at work.

Xp is the shit. I have been using it at work for 3 years now and we can do almost anything with it. I also know scripting and how to write bvatch files, which automates things... Plus, with my network privs, i can fuck with co-workers horribly....

basically, they are tools built in to windows that let you make the computer do simple tasks on it's own, without having to have any user input. I can make a file that will open up a word processor and type up a paper all by itself.

i did this once and made a co-worker's computer start typing "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." over and over :D

it also allows you to do file-copies and things like that without having to sit and watch it for an hour.

I have used this trick to play some pretty awful april fools jokes on some people :)
