deutschmann59 · 12-02-2005, 01:51 PM

I'm a PC man. I never quite trusted apple since the Apple IIGS days.

ScotyH · 12-02-2005, 02:28 PM

Mac

AidenL · 12-02-2005, 02:30 PM

RyBMW · 12-02-2005, 02:31 PM

prolix21 · 12-02-2005, 02:52 PM

northerncalguy · 12-02-2005, 03:01 PM

Apple PowerMac G4 733 Digital Audio -- thinking about PowerBook G4 15.2" or the MacIntel version whenever it arrives.

rag21 · 12-02-2005, 03:09 PM

i'm a pc guy....but with windows and some linux...

its fun driving a "manual trans" operating system once in a while.

vladinecko · 12-02-2005, 03:37 PM

15" powerbook g4 1.67Ghz (my 5th powerbook)
G4 powermac
two linux boxes (one running slackware-file server, one mandrake-development)
one relatively fast pentium4 windowze for occasional gaming

to sharp1183, apple two's came out 20 years ago. how can you even mention them today? welcome to the 21st century, UNIX based OS X, new hardware, reliability, Jobs in charge, i just don't see any relation to the apple IIGS. if you trust windows more than you do os x, i feel sorry for you.

blueone · 12-02-2005, 03:39 PM

PC! last time i used a mac was 5 years ago i think

bimmerwannerbie · 12-02-2005, 03:56 PM

All PC now and some MAC back then...

Hey thanks. I appreciate your empathy

. I know apple IIs came out 20 years ago. I didn't like apple back then and I don't like them now. Sure Steve Jobs was the man with the masterplan and Gates stole (or bought) the ideas from him, but I like Microsoft's OS's better.

I guess it's just about personal opinion. The only reason I brought it up is because the Apple II was my first computer and my last Apple.

After I saw how much better Windows was compared to my old apple, Microsoft had me sold. Maybe Apple's new systems are better, more reliable. But I don't care. I'm a Windows man and that's that.

Stever Jobs is not the man with the masterplan, Apple stole it from Motorola.

deutschmann59 · 12-02-2005, 04:51 PM

Sorry, it's been a while since I saw the Pirates of the Silicon Valley

. I don't think I ever heard this before, though...Apple got the ideas for the OS from motorola? Which one?

bimmerwannerbie · 12-02-2005, 05:01 PM

Forgot was motorola or someone else, but it was one of those big teleco company.

bimmerwannerbie · 12-02-2005, 05:40 PM

Oh, sorry not Teleco company. It was Xerox.

nabutes · 12-02-2005, 05:45 PM

I was a PC person up untill about a year ago, then I made the radical switch to a G5 Mac.

I'm so glad I made that decision. I love my mac...

ksfrogman · 12-02-2005, 05:50 PM

Mac 15" PowerBook G4, and two PCs.

Have had Apple II Plus, //e, Fat Mac, Mac Plus, Mac IIx and Mac IIsi. So I guess I'm the Mac Daddy?

Enroutte · 12-02-2005, 06:40 PM

I have an IBOOK and Dell Inspiron

magmd · 12-02-2005, 07:33 PM

PC now...but might get Powerbook soon for travel/work away from home.

theclay · 12-02-2005, 07:35 PM

I have a 20" iMac G5 at home, a 12" powerbook that I'm using right now, and I'm buying my girlfriend a 15" powerbook for Christmas so she will leave my iMac alone.

I can't stand Windoze.
