I personally can’t stand Mac OS but everything I have heard about them is good. Hardware wise they run really well. They also tend to be on the expensive side.


Btw, moved to the correct place.

My next laptop will be a Mac. Gid will accept this one day. For what I want to use it for, it's pretty good (pictures, music, webpages, random reports for school). Plus, they are prettier than most normal laptops. I dont like black or silver much :dunno:

Go to a computer store and play around with one to see if you like how it works. They are expensive but I still like them.

Woman, your man is joining the army where they're going to pay him a buck fifty and can of spam a month. You're not going to get a mac.

Aren't they a bitch to develop for ie they get their software on the market months after the PC gets it? I'm kinda interested in the Mac myself but not if I have to wait 3 months more for everything.

I've always thought MACs look like a vibrator that turned into a computer and just always figured this was why women liked them so much.

Aww dang, Ralf figured it out already ><

Woman, my man isnt in the Army *yet*. Plus, he's going to get paid more there than he is in his current job. He isnt going in as a grunt, so that's more money. We live comfortably now (excluding his mother living in my house)...comfortably financially, so this is just more money. Win/win.

I'll be going in Enlisted with a rank of E-4, I will then either be putting in my Warrant or OCS packet once I am in, most likely OCS.

I want to be in line right behind that girl.. I'll help her double-click her mouse while I demonstrate the proper use of a joystick.

dude... you do realize there is no promise that you'll get an OCS or Warrant slot, right? Regardless of what the recruiters tell (which 90 percent of the time they are full of shit), it is ultimately up to your commander if he/she want's to let you go.

Right now with all the shit going down around the world, you might find youself being enlisted for a very long time.

That's about what the cheapest Macs here sell for. The most expensive can run up to close to 3 grand.

They're a good computer, just to freaking expensive. Apple's are like the BMW of the car world. People are willing to pay more to have something "cool."

Reminds of me of one of my coworkers. This chick comes into the lab every morning with a 5 dollar cup of Starbucks. The SAME coffee, with the SAME taste can be bought one block down at a local coffee shop for 2.75. But, hey it's not en vogue or cool if it's not in a Starbucks cup!
