    My father is a Mac fanboy. I have had to use OS 9 to get work done. Thus, I love this video. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I always make fun of one of my friends because his parents only get Mac's and so he can't play any good computer games.

    I've seen it before, in better quality too. Are Mac's really that bad? I haven't really used them, just a few times in school, and that would just be a few specific, simple programs.

    OS 9 is that bad, and worse. OS X ("OS Ten") is pretty good, as it's built from Linux and not some crappy Apple technology.

    OS X is so NOT built on linux. Its built on annother UNIX derivative called Darwin. To us OS geeks there is a huge amount of difference between the two. Namely Darwin is pretty much PPC only, has a vastly different driver system, is a microkernel, and is actually much more BSDish. I suppose that to most people this will just sound like nitpicking though.

    Basically, Mac users can get blizzard games. And yes, blizzard is good. But... that's about it. I'd link you to the "Mac Gamer" switch add on redvsblue, but they're rebuilding their site right now, and so the video is down.

    Yea, I use Macs for editing. I agree with this guy. Final Cut has a tendency to lock up the system...

    And Darwin is ported to x86 now BTW. Stupid nubs thinking that OSX is based on linux...

    Yeah, but last I heard IDE support was still pretty shoddy and the Xserver still had screwed up colors (bad programming = endian problem mb?).

    Have you used it?

    Let me rephrase that...

    Do you use it regularly?

    I do use it regularly, it's good for some things, it has it's pitfalls like any other OS, like the crashing when doing intensive work.

    It's not made for gaming (although there are plenty of good games, mmm Marathon). For what I use macs for (Video editing) they do their job pretty well. I like PCs, but I can't see doing the kinds of work I do on a mac with a PC. It's do-able, but why?

    The same reason you don't use a screwdriver to hammer in nails. It'll screw them up. The hammer is better-suited.
    Though personally, I've never found anything that I can use a Mac for that wouldn't run better and faster on a PC... was forced to use a dual G5 at college for Maya modelling, and the damn thing crashes every fifteen minutes at the outside.
    But they had to buy them as the A/V teacher is a rabid Mac fanboy, and he got all the aging hardware after the AT track was upgraded. Complained until the department head gave in and let him have his way.


    Oh, and the Flash version of that video is pretty cruddy... I've still got my full-quality AVI. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I'll be polite and just retort that there is a reason macs are not widely used for multi-platform use. Video editing doesn't send astronaughts to the moon.
