I'm a Mac user, but is this what others think of us?

Most PCs have USB slots on the front of them. All of the computers in my house have a USB slot in the front (oldest PC is a P2).The only cool thing about macs is that you can plug in memory keys right into the keyboard and don't have to mess around with USB ports at the back of computers
Let's put it in another way: I don't know of any Mac where there isn't a keyboard USB. On the other hand, there are still lots of PCs around with all their ports hidden in the back behind a lot of wires :)Originally posted by ShawnD

They had a bunch last year that were pulled by the British (I think) version of the FCC because they made bogus speed claims. Apple doctored benchmarks to make their pc's appear faster. It was more than the usual Photoshop-is-the-only-relevant-test shtick they used to do. Heck, the tests are probably still linkable from their website.Originally posted by Pergatory
Fraudulent advertising? Don't know about that... the only advertising I've seen for Apple merely emphasizes the colors it is available in. I've never seen Apple make any claims as to their hardware being capable of actually doing anything.
Intel's 64 bit Itanium has been out for like 3 years.I only know of 1 thing Apple has said that was knowingly wrong; "The Power Mac G5 is the world's fastest personal computer and the first with a 64-bit processor"
AMD announced the Opteron (64-bit processor) on April 22, 2003.

If I want to download a PDF I have to save it first, where it randomly puts it somewhere on the HD without asking, I spend 15 min looking for the file, open it, try to print it: not enough memory :S or it prints it but two pages on a single face.. I try to change it but there is no option in the printer menu to do anything..

Yes, that's right, $10,000. If you thought that Macs were overpriced before knowing this...well, you had no idea.
This thing seems so outdated, and twice as ugly.

The main difference between a Mac and a PC is the operating system. Macs run on macOS while PCs run on Windows. Macs are also known for their sleek design and user-friendly interface, while PCs offer more customization options.
Some people prefer Macs because of their reliable and secure operating system, as well as their user-friendly interface. Macs are also popular among creatives due to their powerful and efficient software for editing, designing, and other creative tasks.
Macs are generally more expensive than PCs, but this can vary depending on the specific model and features. While Macs may have a higher initial cost, they are known for their longevity and durability, making them a good long-term investment.
Yes, Macs have the ability to run Windows through a virtual machine or by using Boot Camp, a built-in utility that allows users to dual-boot between macOS and Windows. However, this may require additional software or a Windows license.
Some common software compatibility issues between Mac and PC include certain programs only being available for one operating system or having different versions with varying features. Additionally, files created on one system may not be fully compatible with the other, especially when it comes to fonts, formatting, and file extensions.
