    second that...never got into macs...
     
  2. yea... I think a taskbar is way more useful than a doc... sure the graphics are impressive... but I think that's the way Apples been selling their products... for looks and strong advertisement... then they put down features like you've never heard of 'em before

    Well on the other hand, Apple is kind of gear towards the so-called geeks who THINKS they know alot... You can't have any upgrades, little choice over the config etc.

    But for a regular office, the rarely-crash feature is like HUGE.

    Well, if I can afford it, I would want a more stable system too... If you don't play games on the computer (I almost just said PC :p), it's not THAT important for the config to be super powerful... Too bad Apple is so fragging expensive =_=b

    Me? Or Xiaojia? I have the soft spot for Apple coz the first computer I ever used was an Apple, back in the days when the monitor is green. It's like the best crappy game console ever :p

    No I dont think it is gives anyone the right to pirate their software but even though loads of people use pirated versions Microsoft are still making loads of profit anyways

    It doesn't but the fact is, if everything people use is non pirated software, the penetration of computer usage and ownership will be even lower (than now)

    haha.. I really dunno whats that..

    Of cos.. but its not about having the rights or not. Considering how much those programs cost, do you think everyone can afford? I have a friend who bought legal copies of 3 programs for ard USD $6600.. How many of us can afford that? She is darn rich.. but definitely not me. O.. and those programs are necessary for my course and the school doesn't provide. So what you reckon?

    ^ I don't know, but apparently they DO know. Probably get you to give them all the installation and serial keys when they recover (or re-install) everything on your laptop or something.
