Post by mk1 »

Just a quick heads up to say that I am "upgrading" my work PC ast the moment, and may be a bit hit & miss with my presence over the next few days.

I would say Mac=NewMini... A fashion useless thing that everybody wants to be seen with (thanks to Apple marketing service) but nobody know what to do with it. :lol:

I don't think so.

MAC. A shiny tool for people who have/want no idea what goes on under the bonnet as long as its easy to use and looks 'cool'

PC an ancient and soemwhat unreliabable machine that needs constant fettling to keep it running.

Ergo:

Mac= Audi TT (at best)

PC= mini

Of course you don't want a mac, just imagine how shocked we'd all be if there weren't any problems and the site just worked straight out the box.............

Ha, ha, ha!

Theres nothing more vocal that a MAC user on his high horse.

It's always interesting that the only folks who use them are (please excuse the next bit, I am joking really) Arty farty types who spend all day drawing pictures, and that PC's are used by everyone else.

OK, PC users spend more of their day sorting out blue screens & freezes but at least we have a reason to have not achieved anything during the day :lol:

I'm sure MAC's are fine really, but I have enough on getting used to the latest "upgrade" of Windows without having to get used to a whole new Operating system.

Smithy you do make a fair point though :lol:

Mark, you move over to a whole new operating system won't be that difficult, lets face it Windows have been trying to keep up with the Mac OS for years, there's very little difference between them these days :)
