yeah.. very good point... mac's do hold their value very well.. so even if it is an old mac, you'll still get good money for it...

so although your perfectly well to have you own opinions please make sure people know that are those and not facts and it seems to be coming across

Yes it can a freeware program admittedly but nor can a PC without media player Which comes with xp/vista


Not quite a true statement you cannot play music that has been converted by itunes on anything other than Apple products (without the aid of software)

I know you like me are in the forces so even if you work programs don't work on a Mac it won't on YOUR PC either but i may be wrong well you are wrong and you don't do the same job as me

That's just your opinion its not my opinion its fact! that if i build a PC with the same spec as a TOP END MAC it will be cheaper

but if things are 10x faster, surely you don't want the bottle neck of a slow graphics card, and slow processor, having a faster harddrive makes no difference to the graphics card when your just transfering data, and i already have a high end processor because i saved money on building my own PC

Did Steve jobs do something to you as a child, that has made you grow up to hate Apple that much

Mate as i have said before in this thread i don't hate apple....i think they come up with some excellent ideas (ie iphone) but they are not for me because of certain things that i have explained

as i have said before these are my opinions and the reasons why i won't buy a MAC nothing more nothing less

but people are hell bent on telling me otherwise......and i like winding them up

Why on earth have all you normally quite sensible people spent a whole afternoon arguing with this pathetic to$$er?

He's an angry little man with a grievance who can't afford a Mac. He doesn't even know the difference between a Mac and a MAC.

Just console yourselves with the thought that those who use Macs need people like him to keep using Windows and act as virus-fodder for us.

I've spent my afternoon a lot more constructively (and profitably) elsewhere.


Oh yes, what can't you do on a PC that you can do on a Mac? Boot it off an unpowered external Firewire drive or use Target mode. But he wouldn't know what that is, would he?

And by the way my MBP is running like a dream and have now created my bootable ext harddrive with a full copy of my latest OS and programs on it

thanks for your advice yesterday

Now that was a sensible way to spend your afternoon.

So glad to hear that it all worked well for you.

I read the piece you linked to in the other thread and, like you, thought it sounded potentially hazardous.

I don't think it's wise to try moving the home folder or otherwise messing about with it.

My own two ProBooks, which I keep mirrored, have 200 GB hard drives (Hitachi 7,200 rpm) so I made their first partitions 85 GB. They've both still got 37 GB spare in them, so I figure that's plenty of elbow room.




It's suddenly all gone very quiet in here. Was it something I said? :cool:
