Wow, that's definately the quote of the month.

WINDOWS Millennium Edition I would not give that pile of #%&*@ to my worst enemy, tho I don't bash Linux I use to own Red Hat 6.2 tho my modem wouldn't work with it, so I ask the manufacterers of who built my modem why they don't support Linux "not as this time" in so many words. I liked Linuxes interface it ran all lot better then windows.

Hmmm... Maybe I should send my CoolPad to Bill Gates... Ka-ching!

A pretty MDI replacement for WordPad with full justify, sub- and superscript, variable line spacing, and all the little goodies found in ParaFormat2 and CharFormat2.

(I know, why on earth did I develop an app to replace one that Microsoft gives away for fre...? )

(regarding 2000pro vs XP)
Quote: "Same OS, just a more colourful face and more compatibility for home users needs."


I'm not so sure about that, I work with W2KPro all day and it whines a whole lot (bunch of errors/crashes), and runs really slowly. I'm much happier with my XP PC at home. Then again, the hardware isn't the same, so that's probably not the best thing to base on.

As for Linux... well, I'm really against MS's way of doing things buisness-wise, but XP is probably just as good as Mandrake 10 and vice versa. I only wish I had Visual Studio in Linux, as I hate debugging things without it. Since that's too much to ask for, I tend to use windows more. If it wasn't, I'd use Linux more: I messed with KDE's interface, now it looks much nicer than XP.

thats a silly statement before jeku, macosx is a unix environment and Im more then an artist as you love to pigeon hole things.

mac has a stable commercial reason in the media sectors because it works better then a pc for what tool its purpose is.

Its ""bleeding obvious"" whats the more "advanced architecture" no matter how many wanna be pc troll heads may try to proclaim.

I work in print multimeda video web dvd television 3d and special effects now mainly in the macintosh environment.

I also work with extensive code in most of those environments from scripting to oop languages.

I still have pcs around but its mainly for games and some compatability with programs but im phasing them out.

I can still use a pentiumIII 933 to acheive the results i need and the grunt on the mac side of things for the higher end content.

what makes me laugh is, the comments made here have no merit or insight into both operating systems. the only experiences you have with macs is probably ten years ago, granted there are a few around who use both like me and prefer to use other systems like SGI or MAC.

none of you here i can bet have ever seen irix in full motion on a infinite reality system. ignorance is bliss.

the pc is the bottom of the heap when it comes to architecture and you so vehemently proclaim its the best, LMAO.

its like saying your volkswagen is better then a porsche but your forgetting half the car market.

silly little people with narrow minds who dont want to explore the whole plethora of computer systems deserve an attitude of anguish over other systems.

If you had a brain or the experience with other systems you might have a different outlook to the whole Computer experience instead of one blind corner with half an eye cocked.

now granted my new macintosh eats any current pc on the marketplace hands down in so many factors, in regards to speed at the current moment means very little to me. I use it as a tool and thats what its for, to produce high end video and multimedia for commercial entities.

it would be a shame if your whole computer day was 80% whinging & gaming and 20% productivity, your only waisting your own time.

If no-one gives your an answer to a question you have asked, consider:- Is your question clear.- Did you ask nicely.- Are you showing any effort to solve the problem yourself

Do I? I believe I said that Macs are for the computer illiterate AND/OR artists... checking.... yes in fact that's exactly what I said:

EDIT:

I had a large rebuttal written but erased it because there's no point in arguing. Please just read what I wrote again, and you'll see that I didn't pigeon hole anyone
