Re: Western Off Topic
macs are overrated. i have a bad ass top of the line Mac and i prefer using my laptop with XP over it any day of the week. i cant do anything on my mac because its hard to find mac software...of course the last time i tried to find anything for the mac was a year or 2 ago

Sorry, I will take my mac over a PC any day, just plug in any camera, printer, or what ever and it just works, no need to load a bunch of crap on my computer to make it work. Don't have to worry about viruses, spam, and all that crap. Also when you see professionals using a computer to edit movies, photos, and any other professional editing programs, what do most of them use??? And hey they look so good, Also had no problem updating my cube, and she was still going strong till I had a water accident. What 10 year old PC do you see still working as good or better than it did when it was bought new????
I don't really see professionals editing movies and stuff, not sure on the split there, but like I said earlier, there is no inherent benefit on one platform or the other as far as making it better for that kind of stuff.
Macs are fine, I never said they sucked or anything. The commercials are pretty dang good too, lol!

Do you have a large TV in your main room? You could always build a HTPC (home theater PC) and hook it up to that, use it for a media center, DVR, internet, etc... There are specific linux distro's for just that, and some windows pieces of software as well.
That is probaby what I will do soon, since I don't really play games much anymore either

Re: Western Off Topic
I've owned both Mac and PC. I started dabbling with web and graphic design when I was 11 years old, and progressively did more and more with it as I got the experience. I don't think it's fair to compare a Mac to a PC because there are so many variables for a PC and so few for a Mac. We could be comparing an old Emachine desktop from 1995 to a brand new Macbook for all I know.
As for being able to plug anything up and have the pc recognize it, I can't remember the last time I plugged anything up via USB and didn't have it recognize it. I never have to install software or drivers. I'm still usng Vista and when I plugged my Droid in for the first time, I didn't have any problems at all. I can mount the sd card as a temporary drive and drag and drop files. There are always going to be things out of your control, but I've found Vista to actually be pretty stable compared to previous OS.
Oh, and you can run Windows on a Mac btw.
I've owned, and will continue to own Mac's. I admit that I do prefer my Mac for graphic design and video editing.
