So you are at it again with your wee internet battles then Kidney. Alas, what else can we expect from a chap who never dodged a bullet in his years of service, other than to become an PC warrior.

As for Z outting the next person.....well, he knows your location and school..... how hard could the rest be?

He who lives in a glass house should not be tossing stones... You're the one who is arguing against something you haven't spent 5 minutes using, right?

Come and start a Mac vs. PC thread here after you've spent at least a *few* days using a Mac before you spout nonsense like this. And remember when you're doing this little experiment, anything you might not be able to figure out how to do on a Mac will just go to show how you are a bigger dullard than the simpletons you accuse Mac users of being.
Live by the sword, die by it and all...

Eric, if you search this forum you'll find that I asked a lot of questions about Mac capabilities before, some were answered, some weren't. In this thread I mentioned only mobile devices connection problems and so far I found out that you have a very small chance that it will work straight out of the box, and that you might need to buy third party software or wait for the next OS update.

I noticed a kind of a pattern with Mac fans - you ask them a question, they say "it works". You asked them how - they say "fuck off you PC dullard who never touched the Mac before".

See what I'm saying - you don't learn anything useful from talking to Macheads, they are like snake oil salesmen.

ya. the usual flippant comments about a product you have never used or owned...coupled with a feigned interest in the matter.

My Lenovo is somewhat crocked (broken optical drive and a dead pixel).

It's 3 weeks old.

What do you make of that, trep?

Wow. Lots of responses. I was primarily concerned about compatibility issues.

In the end, I purchased the Mac. I really like the 17 inch screen, the ability to enlarge and minimize the screen with brushes of two fingers and the other general stuff one likes about a Mac. Compatability issues with my iPhone and iPod are also a positive.

I had to take the first one back because the headphone switch was defective resulting in an inability to use the internal or built-in speakers. This would never happen on a PC as a PC would allow you to select hearing device mode via a list of options. Macs can be too automated.

It looks like it has to be replaced or repaired under warranty.

There's a limit on the amount of dead pixels allowed, afaik. One dead pixel might be not enough.

Look who is talking about flippant comments - Zehner, of all people.

hope you enjoyed them all. even the many unfounded flippant comments of trep
