running a dual 1ghz mac g4 with 1gb ram, and a super drive.
the computer is fast, and for the most part is pretty reliable, everybody told me that a mac was better for graphics work, well i use a pc at work all day long in photoshop and image ready and i really cant tell a diffrence in the speed of photoshop on either machine, my pc feels just as fast if not faster and its just a pentium 2000ghz.
i have upgraded to panther but im still not really impressed with my mac, yah it looks really nice but i fill gyped out of my money for a prettier desktop. I have had issues with apple care, and serious issues with the superdrive.
When i first bought the apple it worked for a week and somehow the motherboard fried, i took it back and instead of them giving me a new mac, they just replaced the motherboard, about a month later the superdrive started acting up, if i put a cd in, it will not show up on the puter until i tap the cd tray door 3 times, and if that doesnt work some times if i kick the apple on the side of the case it will spin up. evidently my box is plagued with the pioneer drive and that this is normal, well applecare wont do anything about it,
For a sytem that is usb and firewire based, i wish they would of gave me more than 2 ports on the damm box, every device i have is usb and i had to go out and buy a stupid hub just so i can hook everything up, my crappy pc at work has 6 usb port.
and lastly games, i got unreal tourny 04 and was excited, it works and plays great on my mac and my awesome display, yesterday i went out and got some headphones with a mic, only to find that there is not a microphone hook up on the soundcard,
does anybody feel the way i do about switching.
