I have both PCs and Macs. But I use mostly PCs. Mac is quite fun but a whole lot of hype, I feel. Take away the hype, its basically a UNIX variant. Of course, the Mac hardware design looks cooler....
Well, if you think that Mac is just a cool hardwarre design and nothing else, then I dun think you have used a Mac....
You'll love the colour management, the ease of installing applications... :devil: and being able to dual boot to windows when you feel like it... :bsmilie:
I use a PC too ... but i wish the Mac Pro was a wee bit more ... "expandable" and upgradeable.

Ur.... actually I have.... I said if you strip off the hype its a UNIX variant and the design is cool.... I did not say that a lot of though went into the design process of the software as well.... But if you have worked with UNIX for a long time... then you will probably find nothing really ground breaking in a Mac - except the cool GUI. I'd liked to say that I tend to see everything as trends of code or DNA but that's too matrix....
I am not slamming the Mac coz it does have its uses. I like the iLife suit of software - free and very polished and useful. Besides, with all the hype it has generated, anything I present on the Mac gives me a +40% advantage over the same thing presented over a PC. Just like a iPod looks cooler then any MP3 player with more function. So I do have Steve Jobs to thank for radiating so much RDF that mere mortals fall over the Mac or anything Apple everytime.... :devil:
Hence, the Mac is my mistress... come see her in all her glory....:bsmilie:

what you want to expand and upgrade?
One man's wife is another man's mistress, and vice versa. Come to my office and see my shotgun marriage to my PC :bsmilie:
Me: Darling, pls don't crash on me while I'm adding the finishing touches to that huge word file, please, pretty please?
PC: Press CTRL+S more times lah, bother me for wat? KNS!! I'm busy entertaining my friends Tommy Trojan and Wilma Worm...
Me: *sob* Ok dear, I'm moving my work to my Mac at home then
PC: Like I care...
That's the PC culture for you:
forever wanting to have the latest, the newest, the fastest, the biggest....the Best-est culture, if I may say so.
This is just a generalisation of course, but I hope u do get what I mean...;p
Btw, I'm still using my 6 yr old iBook G3 at home, and it is still working fine for me.
well unix is a really great system to use. much more efficient that windows i must say. mac os x just makes unix easier for the non-techie to use, so you now have power and beauty in 1 box.
i'm surprised most of you guys use mac than pc.
but so far i've been playing with my imac and yes...it's adorable.:lovegrin:
just that i'm still not really used to the controls.
no lah..just curious what he want to expand and upgrade.

I'm still using my casing from P3-450 days till now ... quite a few parts reused.
My point is, whether i can use back the case and upgrade/expand the parts without problems.
Basically the reusability of parts. Since i'm not the type that "die die must have that latest casing cos its the in thing or can mod or it looks damn cool".

I get your point, but how much will reusing a casing save you?
$60? :bsmilie:
