what are you talking about.... why do you say I cant own a mac?

sorry i did take it a bit far, it was more i was implying jealousy of the brad.... fanboys have an unfortunate habit of lashing out unnecessarily, and as an apple fan boy (not quite as hardcore as back in the PPC days) I do that from time to time.

It was  a dig that cheapens my argument, and again sorry for that, i should spend a second and read over my stuff before posting and try and edit that stuff out more vigilantly in my mac related postings 

in my home i have...

a new ipod nano

an ipod classic

an ipod touch

a new iphone3gs 16gig

 

I dont buy macs becuase they are a rip off..... an undeniable fact I am afraid.   Nice machines, well designed... but a rip off. (that doesnt mean i cant afford them... i can easily... but i chose not to be ripped off.

Apology accepted.

Im sorry but i can not let the undeniable rip off  slight pass. 

 

I find nothing in their cost being rip off with cost comparison to time down, and the added benefit of the sector i mainly work in using mostly macs (media). I have used final cut  and adobe many other apps for years and my rig now 6 years old still kicks the butt of many newer computers (6 gig ram dual 2ghz processors) and currently CS2 and CS3 run faster on this tower then on macs that came out to this day (I do not know about current mac pros as i have not tested their high end recently PPC with velocity engin/altvec kicks 86 ass). granted i have swapped over-clocked parts at my discretion like most of my pc brethren would (for fun i became a mac certified tech, its also a cheaper way to get parts and make repairs and keep stuff in warranty)   cost of my rig in 03 when purchased was just over 4k, now i probably could have bought a cheaper PC, and replaced it many times by now or i could do what i did and upgrade HD as needed, swap raids and FX cards when i want. 

 

though in the end it gos down to what you prefer, and I have historically have had better luck with macs and for me down time is a huge cost so macs make my life more profitable

 

 

PS.... and i spend a good deal of free time fixing my friends windows boxes or playing in variations of linux/unix (command line still rocks)  

PPS you should load the x86 version of NeXTSTeP on your computer and look at the OS bill could have bought in the 80s/early 90s and highjacked the future of apple ... though BeOS could have been the mac os too....
