"and I did say that I went to doing 1 thing at a time but it STILL CRASHED! and that is a good point about reformatting regularly, but ask yourself, why should you have to? you don't se a Macintosh user say you should reformat regularly, maybe you don't have to on a Macintosh, they're that stable!"
You see, you cant expect that much out of a 500mhz system, especially with
1.not only the fact that you should know that 320mb of ram is a bit low for a computer that needs to run the "latest software", i would have expected you to know that stability issues arise when your mix sizes/brands/types of ram, and you obviously have different sizes, and a good chance different brands. what brands are the sticks? are they "value ram"? because that could easily be your problem.
2.not only are you running xp on there, youre also running home ed. You cant expect that much out of it.
"I have provided TONS of information on why Mac's are better, with all of that information you NEED to be literate to understand!"
heres where youre wrong. You havent provided almost ANY information, as the only things you seem to say is that "macs are so fast", and "macs are so stable". this is your only arguement, and you have no information to back it. tell me WHY macs are so stable, and why they are so fast, as in give me a f***ing link to a source where you get your information, or if you cant, tell me where you learned it.
"IF I wasn't literate, I wouldn't have that information, but I DO!"
Duh, i wasnt literally calling you "illiterate". I thought you would have noticed that.
"YOU DIDN'T SPECIFY WHICH PART OF THE POST YOU WERE REFERRING TO"
i shouldnt need to. you should think, "ok he said this, now which part of my post most likely corresponds with that responce..."
"let's just see, IBM doesn't exactly like Microsoft for taking over IBM's stronghold on the computer world, so maybe they know not to trust Microsoft!"
Give me an example of this, as in some news, or an article, or some sort of evidence that they really do think this. until then, that statement can always be assumed to be False/Made up, and/or an Opinion.
"a: the G5 is TOO powerful for a lot of people"
yeah, and WHO says this? are you talking about the general user? i would agree. but then again, dont you think that the general user (someone who maybe plays one game, only uses the internet to check email and chat, and types essays etc) would be perfectly satisfied with the PC you have now? wouldnt that mean that any thing over that would be overkill? i see these HPs and Compaqs that have 28 ghz/2700+ procs and flat panel monitors and loads of "great software (!)" and always think, "does anyone that would buy this pc, actually use this much power?"
"b: people just don't realise how much better the G5 is because Windows users have always told people "it's Macintosh so its crap" - well I am honestly sick of this false stereotype!"
actually the "stereotype" is almost non-existant now-a-days. i dont tell anyone anything about macs being crappy unless i have information to back it up. you seem to be the kind of person who would give just some opinions (As they are backed with no facts) to others, as you have been doing.
"and maybe the reason AMD or Intel are not helping Macintosh is because they just can't make something as high quality as a Macintosh would typically use"
or maybe they dont need to make procs for mac, since mac already likes theyre "bond" with IBM. (See: old mac press)
and about IBM not liking microsoft, Id like you to go check out IBM's page. What kind of computers do they sell (full computers)
oh wait, theyre PCs. or look at their workstations.
Here do they use the IBM g5 processor? no. the intellistation pro systems use AMD optetron, p4, and Xeon processors. the intellistation power systems use Sun Microsystems proccys. Since the G5 is unix oriented processor, you would think that IBM would want to use their "great achievement" (as apple says, from theyre page a while back when the G5 came out) but they dont. they would rather use better equipment, aka not even their own. see, they dont even trus themselves, probably because they know they didnt do as well as they could have on the G5.
"there are how many Macintosh employees (hardware) working against how many AMD employees? at a rough guess, the AMD employees would outnumber them about 3:1 and that means that the Macintosh employees are working harder!"
no it doesnt. AMD is just a bigger company, and they have a higher demand than apple, so they have to have more employees. the technology department is probably comperable to apple's.
its too bad that you just love macs, and yet you have a bill gates quote in your profile:
Life's not fair, Get used to it!
Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
He said this to a group of college students during a speech thing.
he may not have said it first, but he did say it and is know for saying it.
as for getting it shut down, i just want to end it all. its like argueing between Fords and Chevys. There is NO winner, because neither side will back down. youve had your chance along with all teh other mac users to prove your point. lets give it a rest and kill this thread.
