Ergonomy is not a word.

[gorickey]

I swear...the more I look at that site, they are making fun of Macs...

[Lateralus]

At what point in life do you become so much of a loser that you are driven to create a web site with the sole purpose of bashing a minority computing platform?

[Zimphire]

Eh, I've seen people in here hate a piece of software so badly the make fun of and bash anyone that uses it.

People have emotional ties to their software it seems.

I like to use anything as long as it works.

Windows isn't one of those things.

Wow that one looks so much better.

Apple has always had userfriendliness as a high priority with their previous operating systems. With OS X this changed. By basing it on a UNIX-system Apple lost all of their simplicity. Not that OS 9 was great in anyway but atleast you didn't have to mess around with a text based terminal to get things working.


In fact many applications available don't come with a graphical user interface, so if you want them to work, you better start making friends with the terminal.

I'm a little confused...but it's still funny.

2. It doesn't crash

Yes it does! And it does it alot. The difference between a pc based on Windows crashing and a Mac is that on the pc the crash is in 99% of the cases caused by badly coded third party software, when the Mac just has a faulty operating system. Why else would Apple themselves run their india website on Linux RedHat?
There is another fun part about crashes on the mac, it's almost always impossible to trace the source of the crash. When your mac crashes you simply reinstall the system. Sounds like a fun thing to do on your spare time, well buy a Mac then!

Everyone I know who has a habit of regularly reinstalling the OS to fix problems runs Windows.

And of course, since he's probably talking about OS 9, if he thinks it's impossible to trace the source of the crash he obviously needs to have a look in his Control Panels folder and find the Extensions Manager. Or consider not putting ghetto RAM in the machine.

And why again would you reinstall the OS just because it crashed?

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!

It's sites like this that make me laugh...

You can point for point disagree with them, but why bother...

[DeathToWindows]

hmmm.. how can he be hacked?

[dlefebvre]

Taken from the site:
�I was the Quake3 champion in my school. After we got a Mac I got really good at Mine sweeper.�

Isn't Mine sweeper a windows game? If they are to bash Macs, they should do their homework.

�Facts
These pages are a collection of objective thoughts and reviews on Apple's systems. It will guide you through their web of lies and show you the Mac's true value when it comes to speed, price, software, compatibility, userfriendliness and design.�

After the first statement, they lost all credibility.

The thing is, most Mac bashers don't own (or have ever used) modern Macs.

Most them are making fun of how they were 10 years ago.

They are not even trying. Comparing the game that were out first on Mac OS X (Server) and the primary reason to get Windows.

8. Office is Office, and then some

Yes, the mac comes with Office and this is why you should make the switch from a pc to a mac:

"The transition to a Mac is easy in part because you�ll continue using the same applications you already know"

Ask yourself this: Why would I switch when It's the exactly same on the mac? -Beats me. Apple does speak of some mysterious features in this sentence:

"And thanks to exclusive features, the Mac versions improve on their Windows counterparts"

As you might expect they mention nothing on what these features are. Well they're probably just wonderfully, perfectly and amazingly non-existent!

There's nothing like a good argument.



And that was nothing like a good argument.

All he had to do was surf over the the MS word site to check out the "exclusive" mac version features.

*sigh* We don't do a very good job of teaching our kids how to construct compelling arguments. All they do is reach for the hyperbole. *sigh*

BINGO!

When I find myself rolling my eyes at some Windows dork, it's usually because their arguments are "Macs use SCSI", "Macs can't use modern memory", etc.

Not for nothing, but you're not one to talk about someone else needing a spell checker.

That's true to an extent, and I do agree with you; but there are exceptions to this. Some software does become more than just bits n bytes of data, interchangeable with something else easily; software becoming a tool in which one does become attatched, but emotional is probably a step too much though.

For instance, in the high-end arena, the difference in software can become something of an issue, especially when the toolset provided, and the functionality, leads a person to a natural affinity to it. Even if alternatives which provide similar functionality are available, the move, or desire to even use it can be a difficult one.

Think of a craftsman, painter, or musician, the relationship between the person and their tool can become more than just perfunctory, and hence emotional attatchment.

I am not the most terrifictastic speller either. OmniDictionary is my most opened and closed application throughout the day.

But then again, I type quite a bit.
