Why has Apple become such a tool?

[crees!]

OK, I've been a little out of the loop. I must have the chips confused.
Still, their offerings and behavior have been far from optimal. $199 crossgrade? Video editing isnt rocket science, and thats an outrageous percentage of the cost new for what was basically their screwing around (again) with the platform. The mini-to-macpro offerings still suck, and their software prices are hilarious. Not to mention the universally-hated iTunes. Glad I still have my
old desktop with an original mp3 conversion program that, guess what, doesnt
screw up all my files. Got lots of friends who have bought albums online, yes acutally bought them, and iTunes loses them, poof! bye-bye.

Apparently someone has a bug up their butt. Think MR can create a Whiners Forum?

What? Why would you rather have a PPC Mac? They aren't faster, they can't run Windows/Some Distro of Linux....the get update less(the PPC chips), there not cooler(again the chips...I'm looking at your G5!).

Basicly the Intel Chips allow Apple to make all around bette Macs, just because PC uses, doesn't make them bad.

Even if you didn't like Intel as much as PPC, why would you switch to PCs? If there both the same hardware, then the only thing is software...did you really buy a Mac because it ran of PPC hardware? Is so there are still ways to get PPC hardware and run linux on it.


You seem like on of those people who won't do something, because everyone else is. You don't base what you doing on if you think its cool, just because other people like you, you can't. You want to feel like a repel. That what you come off as, you might not be, but thats what it feels like. Or your a troll.

no, im not a troll, or "a repel". its personal preference. i actually started out with macs, then years ago i had to adapt to PC. recently ive gone back to mac, after all the frustration with PCs and the i386 architecture. ive been working with the i386 architecture for a long time, and its always had its issues, one of them being as soon as a new app is released, your chip is outdated, it can no longer handle it, because developers have made an app for the latest and greatest, and suddenly your machine is quickly worthless. in the case of the powerpc, im using a g3 imac, with 160mb of ram, running osx, and it runs much smoother and quicker than my 2ghz 1gb ram pc laptop. idk if its risc vs cisc or what, i just prefer the ppc over the i386 architecture.and ive heard from a few friends of the intel macs having the same issues and random errors that i386's have had for years. im sure it will get better over time, but until then, im not rushing to upgrade. call me what you like for it

Well, I think the trolls have been well-fed for today, and so, to prevent others from feeding them even more and possibly upsetting their delicate constitutions, I'll close this. I'm sure a similar thread will pop up soon enough.

And if this wasn't a trolling thread, I still see no suitable way for it to continue.
