Atleast we can put in audio and data mixed cd's in with our OS crashing.

I'd like to use a Mac but as a hetrosexual I'm not allowed.

That or give Steve Jobs one of the organs he's currently missing.

Bill Gates may make shit operating systems, but at least he still owns his original liver.

LOL.

Great article. Completely wrong of course, but well-written.

Yes, you are.

Another thing, this PC is two years old and it's had several nasty viruses, one of which almost f**ked the HD altogether. My Mac is 5 years old and has had no viruses. That's because Macs don't really get them.

Because so few people use Macs that it's not worth the time writing them. Don't be fooled by the propaganda that Macs are more secure.

In any case, the viruses weren't installed by the computer itself, were they? A computer is only as inept as its user.

I used to have a Mac, was dead cute too.

Sort of futuristic, if you made your eyes go blurry.

Have a laptop now, as can take it to bed.

Good for you - you'll love it.

I shall defer to the writings of Mr Charlie Brooker on this issue...

Charlie Brooker: Mac vs PC

I often wonder where the PC mac bashers get their experience of macs. The Science Museum? I haven't used a one button mouse since 1995.

PC and mac users are very different people who don't use computers in the same way. It took me a long time to realise this.

PC users for instance, genuinely don't give a f**k about how a computer looks. The hilariously disharmonious blue and green colour palette of windows xp doesn't bother them either. They don't even notice these things.

A PC doesn't have Helvetica - the most popular typeface in the world, because Microsoft won't pay for it.

I can tell you're a pc user tim because your avatar is out of proportion. You just don't care enough about how it looks to scale it properly.

True, I am a PC user. But the warped appearance of my avatar could quite easily be explained due to it being taken near the "event horizon" of a black hole.

Read the Brooker article. He's obviously completely wrong. Pretentious moi?? (Who says that in an episode of a popular sitcom??)

Somebody says pretentious moi then laughs after he's said it, who is it? It's annoying me now...

I have no idea how to use a Mac. I just get embarrassed with my ineptitude and leave them alone.

I just thought of it myself before coming on here and seeing your post. Well done sir. It was bugging me there for a few minutes

Or that you built your own webcam using a catheter and a pigeon's eye.

I didn't, but that's a very good idea.

Five Macs, four iPhones and 2 PCs in my household. One PC is the one my son uses for gaming. The other is a junk laptop I use to run various amateur radio programs that interface with my communications gear.

I met him last year in my local pub... Oh I've told that story. Spotted him again last week mind!

Oh, if you see him again, could you ask him if he's got a spare copy of the BBC production of the play Absurd Person Singular, with him, Maureen Lipman, Michael Gambon, Prunella Scales and Geoffrey Palmer in it? I've not been able to get hold of a copy. Oh, and if he could sign it as well that would be nice.

Wasn't he going to be in Eastenders, or was briefly or something?

I had to use Macs at work, but to be honest I prefer PCs.

Will do. He'll probably cross over the street if he sees me bearing down on him mind, but he had a walking stick so I might be able to catch him.
