[QUOTE]Originally posted by Balaam Xumucane: [QB] I got your back, MM. Not to fan the flames or anything or to disturb any shit, but there are those among us who do know how to use a computer and use PCs on a farily regular basis and simply choose to use the Macintosh because we have made a personal choice about how we like to spend our time, and a big priority for us was how much we enjoy it when things are easy and user-friendly. My G4 running OS X has been running for three weeks without a reset. I currently have IE, Eudora, Safari, iTunes (MP3), Photoshop, Illustrator, TextEdit, Toast, Preview (image viewer), BBEdit, and a couple of OS9 utilities running with the SETI@home screensaver popping on when I get up to use the bathroom or make a sandwich or whatever. In case you're not paying attention, that's kind of a stupid number of Apps to have open. You might assume that I'm an idiotic lazy redneck because I'm couriting danger. Except that it's bloody rock-steady and I'm totally not worried about it. I wanted to download some animated gifs from IE ( friend told me where to get them in an email), and so I opened the separate frames in Preview, washed them through Photoshop for color correction, dropped those frames into an Illustrator document along with some text (TextEdit) for the CD I'm burning in Toast. Also I wanted to listen to the White Stripes (on iTunes) while I was working on this. Also I wanted to poke my head up at Flare (which just renders better in Safari, I find) to make sure no one was slagging off Macs up there. But so I'm so very not interested in starting a war of the OSes or a pissing contest of open apps (because I did open my 3D program briefly just to see if it would do it and it wasn't an issue) and I'm not saying the PC can't or wouldn't do this. I'm saying my Mac can and does and is doing it right now. It's a real OS and it's very powerful and worthy and cool and we happen to like it a lot and maybe other people might like it too, and they needn't be stupid or rednecks or lazy or anything. [i](but since we don't have parallel printer ports akb's cable is useless to us, so we'd have to use our networking (wireless perhaps or using the built in Ethernet and a cross-over) or Firewire target disk mode (which is a stupidly fast and easy way to do things.))[/i] [i](also for the sake of thoroughness, DAVE let's my Macs talk to my PCs and vice versa.)[/i] [i](Please feel free to disregard this Mac evangelism moment and I did think the cartoon was funny.)[/i] [/QB][/QUOTE]
