- Back to my old 2.2GHz C2D MB after selling my MBP and wondering what my next Mac will be :)
As for you 6string, bravo, the TheAntiM indeed implies Anti-Mac. Before you quickly jump to label me (as I have done with many users), you need to understand my dislike for Mac/Apple has formed over many years of working with the technology and the people! Call me a purest, but I’ve watched the technology grow from a workhorse developed with a niche target market, running on an advanced platform (POWER), to a withering GUI orientated system. The modern day mac is designed to do nothing more than capture market share from a population of users that cannot see beyond the desktop. Apple spends most of their time developing UI improvements and packaging to meet this population rather than the essence of what real technology innovation is about. This is clear as day in the typical MAC (PC) vrs Windows (PC) argument is which focuses on aqua vrs Desktop Windows Manager (BTW for all those fanboys reading this MAC IS A PC, MAC HAS ALWAYS BEEN A PC, if you believe otherwise you’ve been brain washed by the marketing machine that is Apple). As for the people, I don’t have to go into detail about fanboys and other forms of ignorant users, who will blindly defend the platform without understanding both the underlying technology and the competitors’ products or innovations (one cannot truly claim to understand any phenomena in the world when viewing it from a single lens). Another side of the people element is a little more personal, as a purist and technologist; I have particular expectation of my peers, which in my experience with many so called “mac experts” and members of the “professional service” teams has been dismal at best.
With all that aside, there are many valid use cases for mac. I do know of many educated Apple users (however none are purely Apple users) who have a specific requirement to use a mac.
LOL
Once again:
Thanks for the help?
Thanks for joining Mac Forums for that!
