I don't use them unless I have a legit reason though.

Yeah, you know how to mount an ISO? And do you need a legit copy? As in your have a key? If not shoot me a PM.



Mac IS as rare as I think. Look at the chart lmao. And it hasn't even met the peak of Q1 2000. Look what it did after that, it'll probably do it again when Windows 7 comes out.

Also, do you know how MASSIVE of an advancement in computer technology happens in two decades? Think about it. In 1988, top of the line processors were 20MHz. My CPU runs at 3000MHz stock. Plus it has FOUR cores instead of just one. Computers are over 1000 times faster today than they were two decades ago. In 1988, the top of the line computer had 12MB of RAM. Nowadays 4096MB (4GB) is pretty common. Not to mention higher clock speeds and lower latencies in the RAM. Hard drives ranged from 100MB to 300MB, that's not even enough space for Windows XP. Just imagine going back two decades in computer technology. It's mind boggling how fast computer science advances. That is a MASSIVE amount of ground to just magically make up ha.


If you applied this rapid of advancement to say... a Rolls Royce. Today it would cost about a hundred bucks, get over 500MPG, be 100 times as fast and you'd have to update it every 6 months.


Nope, I'm not surprised. Because it's an extreme minority. Back up from focusing on a puzzle piece (college...) and look at the whole picture. Meaning the entire computer market.


Nope, not a generalization because I used the term "pretty much". Good game.



Exactly, but if they change to be like Windows they'll just get their *** taken to court, so they're stuck in an endless circle of an extreme minority.


My mouse has 8 buttons. Do you have 7 control buttons?
What about a scroll wheel?










EDIT: Here's another article I thought was a good read.

Malwarebytes is the best program to use. Take it from a Network Tech(me).



Good luck

 

8 BUTTONS! i wouldnt want that mouse. i already said that i dont see many "older" people using mac. but what about 5-10 years when everyone who is in college is still using mac, and the kids in college have them. it will be growing in the next decade. i like the mac set up much more than windows. but i do like how vista was set up over the old xp. it seems that vista is getting set up a little like mac. im not saying its close to the same, copied, its just a better platform than the older windows. the control button gives you about 10 choices to use when you click on what you want. so your not just getting copy, cut, paste, delete. im not bashing windows at all, mac IMO just seems to be a better platform for MY needs. but now that apple has stores nationwide i expect their sales to keep growing.

 

mac mouses have left and right buttons and a scroll wheel.....dont believe me go to asu's computing commons and log in as a guest on one of their dual booted macs with xp

I also work on Macs. I've been repairing, installing and configuring for years throughout the NYC school system. Macs are not immune to viruses. The only way I can put this is that when people want to do harm their looking to affect a lot of people and this is propbably the reason that Macs dont see as many viruses as Windows. As more and more people get them they will encounter the same situation as Windows users. As of right now they just dont dominate the market. Even some business that have macs will have a Windows backbone. I may shoot myself in the foot for this one but Active Directory is a little better than Open Directory.
