MAC here, and I'm not ashamed in the least 366 mhz graphite ibook w/128 ram and a G3 processor. I've had none of the problems that almost all other non MAC people complain about. I wonder why?? I'm not changing now, I'll be getting a G4 ibook this summer with CD-RW and Mac OS X. Long live Macintosh,,,,98

Go ahead, laugh all you want, I'll be going strong while you're chasing down a virus, hehehe.

To Runpr :

I really like the astro cap. Nice fit also. I didn't know it at the time I bought it but when it came in the underneath was carpeted which was nice because with most other bed covers carpeting is extra.
No part number with this... It is called the Astrocap Wraplid.
Cost was 1300 Canadian which includes paint.

Astrocap

Since I repair Apple computers for a living, yes they are what I prefer. I use a Mac G3 here at work and a G4 at home. I always thought windows were something you broke with a baseball when you were a kid. I don't do windows.

MacinTRASH stills makes computers? I thought crAPPLE stopped a lond time ago...

Ever go to Best Buy, Wal*Mart, or other place and see the selection of software available for Mac's? Like one row compared to the PC's 10 rows...

There's two types of trucks in this world...Ford, and everything else... same goes for computers, only two types in the world...PC's and everything else!



Check out this pic of a macinTRASH....

I would love to add a Mac to my network, but I can't see paying the price they want for one. Furthermore, if something craps out they won't sell parts to end users - you have to ship your system off or take it to someone to fix (unless you get lucky enough to find parts on the net).

Maybe one day Apple will get their head out of their you-know-what.
