Well it is nice to see that once again blind faith and Windows are a match made in heaven. The universe is still working properly.

REASON #1: I have cut my wrists in front of people to prove my loyalness to Microsoft products. Why? They claimed Apple is better.
REASON #2: I have a strong Christian faith, and further believe that Apple is the devil(hidden beneath shiny buttons and transparant Windows.) I will not degrade myself down the road of sin like you all have.
REASON #3: What is Apple trying to prove by designing desktop computers that look like jube-jubes? Why does Apple design their laptops out of Titanium and Aluminum? If I want my HP shiny I can wrap it in tin foil.(Yet you waste thousands for this kind of "feature.")....*sigh*....scares me how ****ed up people are nowadays.
REASON #4: Dont bullshit yourselves any longer. XP is the one true OS, and OS X WILL die. It IS a fad that will fade away shortly after Longhorns release. You will all come crawling to me on my Windows forum...bleeding, crying, beggiing for forgiveness. You know what? I will kick dirt in your face and take a **** on you. Because you had your chance.

Wow. Even if you ARE kidding, that's just sick and one of the most non-christian things I've heard in a long time. Freak.

You did about as good a job slitting your wrists as one would expect from a 13 year old windows user. Any mac user worth his salt that cut his wrists wouldn't be here to brag about it.. he'd be dual-booting with the lord.

I say we all pitch in and buy Billy some sharper knives.

Those of you who posted multiple times count as 1.5 Mac-zealots.

Thank you for participating in this survey.
Spliff, do us a favour and fuck off, will you. You don't have a point because people on these forums fall for most trolls, even in the lounge when the subject has nothing to do with computers (Try a billy boy session on religion there and watch how it grows, then come back and tell me that they're Mac Zealots).

And be honest, will you. You're trying to tell me that your posts have always been above the post count level?

You seem to have serious personality issues... maybe we need to warn your parents.

And the slip up has been made. bettafish, the same guy who not to long ago posted the retarted powermac/powerbook rumors (both here and then shortly after at appleinsider) is billy_2004. This was just his new way of getting more attention? Why else would bettafish apologize for anything? He forgot to switch user accounts (back to billy_2004) when making this last post. So he quickly tried to edit, and cover his tracks. But a bit too slow there billy

Mods, any chance I could get some confirmation on this (checking IPs?)

Lead by example Billy. You preach God but talk so much crap it makes your faith look like a joke.

Perhaps you need to find God?

You can start by looking in that lovely God-made machine the G5...

I can see 2 possibilities:

1) His little bro got hold of the computer
2) He was bored

either way, I found this thread highly entertaining.

Came to this one late-

hehe. Some troll. Didn't he really come up with some poor points. I remember the hoo-ha when MS revealed the XP GUI. Still doesn't look any smoother. I think billy should sort out his multiple personality disorder then go and upgrade his os on his G4 to Jag or Panther (I am still at Jag on my Dual USB iBook). He will then notice the superior OS.

This thread has since moved past the fact that XP sucks, but my college forced me to buy a PC laptop, I would like to think that it being a 1.4Ghz with 512 MB of RAM and a Geforce 3 with I think 64MB onboard RAM and XP, that I would have a beast of a machine that never lagged and would be better than my 400Mhz orginal G4 tower.

Every time I go onto the internet with it I have to run msconfig and Ad-Aware because some website is trashing my performance with some leech program. That is still the least of my worries, because PC hardware SUCKS, I have a laptop that is brand new but its onboard battery charging architecture is blown, so if I am not plugged in to AC I can't use my laptop, I now have essentially a $2500 desktop with a crappy keyboard...... the joys of owning a brand new PC. Right now I am typing this all on a G4/400Mhz Sawtooth, 230GB HD, 640MB RAM.... its 4 years old and NONE of it hardware has failed, even though I installed PCI cards, RAM, and HDs.

If it wasn't for counter-strike I wouldn't touch that PC.

Also should I upgrade to Panther even though I have an older G4? I got Jaguar right now and its pretty good, not that great for gaming though damn ATI Rage Pro 16MB.

Haha, that makes me laugh my ass off. You use your PC for counterstrike. See? PC's are the best. Why? Because you can do things that you love on them. Unlike the Mac which you cannot. You can only press F9, F10, and F11 so many times. Cmon you guys, give it a rest, Panther is the ****ing lamest piece of **** I have ever seen. Mac needs to get a brain. And so do you hogwheels. I recommend HP's for everyone, now THATS a real machine.

Hey boy or what ever you are. I use to sell HP's. In fact, when HP produced the first P4's 9 out 10 of them came back. I seriously doubt Apple has ever had a problem of this magnitude with any of it machines. But the story doesn't end their because I represented HP at several different retail stores and there were times that I wouldn't sell any HP laptop or desktop because they were usually broken out of the box.

I remember I had a customer come in and purchase a high end laptop. The store ended up opening six seperate boxes before it found one that worked. Get a life. Get a MAC.

maybe you missed the point, the only real reason I still boot up that laptop is to play Counter-Strike, but when it comes to everything else I use mac.

you know on the Bond movie Goldeneye they have that EMP weapon, I wonder if one of those could rid us Microsoft's office.

No, he looks like someone that got found out, and in an effort to try and save face (or something) he is acting like a major dumb-ass to get banned. On one hand I am schocked this thread is still here (if not locked at least moved). But at the same time maybe it is good. It means the Mods actually got some time off to spend with family over the holidays

::clicks the report abuse link:: I just wanted to say bye before the mods do. Have a nice day, nice life and a nice time. Hints for your next trolling persona on how to convert Mac people to PCs:

1.Don't be rude
2.Stick to the facts if available
3.Don't flame Macs
4.Find a better sig
5.Grow up

Hahah. Billy you're such a geek.

This message is being typed from my Athlon 2500+ Running Windows XP Professional. But I'm gonna go play on my iBook next because i like that too. God I'm soo stupid... if only i was less ignorant and realized that apple copied xp! oh dear god iTunes sucks and Quicktime is garbage too! OH NO! AND MY DOCK COPIES THE START BAR!!!!!

OH I think i need to go take some asprin these thoughts are so depressing.

Billy have you ever owned a mac? Maybe you've answered this but I didn't feel like reading 200 posts. I'd assume no. I like using all sorts of different OS's. It's fun.

I hope all your internet friends are impressed with your mac bashing posts. I certainly am.

Awww come on km, I'm not.. i still find it funny

See thing is he just said because the PC makes a better toy, that the mac, is in fact a toy in it's own.

Does this mean I shouldn't buy a sun E450 because it can't play counter strike? Geez!
