My life most definitely needs enriching, I think I'll get a new pole, Gardiner's new site is up and running.

Why are they poo?

You've explained why you think windows computers are used as the most popular type of computer but that doesn't by definition mean Macs are poo. It just means windows are probably more affordable.

MAC is poo is quite a sweeping statement, could you clarify why you say that please?

I'd like to know why you say that too.
It seems that there are not many people willing to defend windows based PCs but those with macs are saying the complete opposite. Definately not poop my friend. If you have owned one then give your opinion, but if not then how can you actually give an opinion. I spent £1300 once on a windows pc for wedding photography purposes and it very quickly went wrong or wasn't powerful enough. The Mac I bought 4 years ago is STILL powerful enough and hasn't gone wrong yet. No virus, still superbly quick. With all the anti virus software on the windows machine I still got a 3 Trojan virus on it.
Macs rock!

If your £1300 pc wasnt dectroying a £1300 mac then you have been ripped off. Theres really not much to go wrong with a pc, as long as you keep on top of anti virus and clean up tasks. Always back up all your files and programs.

If you know what you are doing with computers a pc is always the better choice in terms of hardware, software, driver support, upgradeabilty and most importantly cost.

Filesharing and online collaboration is another plus.

MACS are not inherently poop, but you pay lot more money for something less supported and lack of future upgradeability.

If you have a few grand to spend every few years then fair enough buy a MAC.

The little red icon? Yeah, it used to annoy me but since I sold a load of work last year, I'm trying to worry less about things that don't matter. (It's kinda working in some aspects of life but not all)
If you wanna check for updates and it makes you happy-knock yourself out.
Being on the next OS won't enrich your life though, will it?

For me, it's the same with the phones. I used to always get the new one because it was new. But I got the iPhone 5 then the 5s I think and the only difference, really, was the fingerprint sensor. Which I turned off
I think I'll get the iPhone 8 or such (sooner if they make a waterproof one) and I'd like a new iPad 'cause the children have scratched the one I've got but it can wait.

Enrich my life? No more than having a Mac over a pc enriches yours.

Now you're just being silly.
My mac looks much better closed on my desk than a PC would

With a Mac you don't have to keep on top of anti virus / cleanup tasks / de fragging etc etc and you don't need to replace every few years .

My friend had one of the first Mac laptops and it is still working at the same speed as it was when new ......only the battery is knackered .

Anti Virus runs in the back ground. You don't defrag SSD drives. Old school 

[robert mitchell]

I know how anti virus works or usually doesn't ...... i have had loads of pc's from cheap ones to ridiculously expensive ones .

I have had virus's on every single one no matter what anti virus software i used , including microsofts own one .

18 months with a mac , no antivirus software slowing it down ........not a single virus.

i had a commodore amiga .......now that was state of the art! .

[Window Lickers]

I went to pay for my coal delivery a couple of days ago.

Handed over the cash - the fella made a note in his payments book of the transaction.

No long protracted start-up, no virus, no fragging, no hardware/software conflicts.

You can't beat a well sharpened HB pencil and piece of 90 GSM A4.

true but pencil drawn porn is nowhere near as good as red tube !

No it wasn't. Used to spend weeks copying code out of a mag for BBC pc, just to get a ball on screen bounce.
No don't miss it mate
