PC versus Mac - It's good to read a carefully weighted, balanced review for a change!

Very funny -

As a PC user, I can totally relate to it... especially the part about the Mac Monks and their preaching...🙂

Just about sums up Windows v Mac. You can't escape Windows in the business community and you need it to send documents that are readable to others. (But Macs with OpenOffice are coming close to the universal machine).

Used to work for a company that fitted out the whole place with Dell's, then had a big IT department sorting out the endless problems.

Well, now sending this from the superslim aluminium keyboard of my bug free, Norton free, Symantics free, Windows free iMac...........................

Puncher,

Just sent a reply but the moderators have grabbed it!

Don't know why, except it mentioned Nort*n, Sym*ntics, W*ndows, Im*c, ............

Exellent link Puncher!
It could have been written by yourself.
Love the phrase "Windows is like the faint smell of p1ss in a subway" 😂

Tried to watch the video, but got sick at about 50 seconds into it...

Yeah, I totally understand what the guy is talking about. I'm just Mac-incompatible. This started about 20 years ago when I had to go through a programming course using those then new birdhouse Macs. I felt like my hands had just been amputated. And mind you, the comparison was not PCs - let alone Windows - but a Unix command prompt, or a VM/whatever mainframe steaming away in the dungeons, only making its presence known through a clunky synchronous terminal in front of you...

If the moderators release my previous post does it go back into the thread in the original order making subsequent messages look a bit odd?

EDIT Yes, it apparently does!

Anyway as a long-term user of both Macs and PC's its worth noting that with Macs, apart from superior design you don't have to pay for that Norton/Symantics stuff every year. Somehow Norton takes over your PC with it's clever updates. And £50 per two years or whatever the fee is is easily more expensive than paying a few hundred extra for that superior Apple design in the first place!

brilliant!

You saved my day working with my monkey (own) and monster (business)😁

 

 

@kawo; Very recognisable picture, looking at it now as well  Aside from the OS, it is quite clear which one is the preferable one [:)

i thought brooker came over as a pretty pathetic childish insecure creep tbh

the mere fact he's so angry over what amounts to a box of silicon chips and a few wires doesn't say much for his being able to deal with reality

then again he is a jurno after all..
