Well, you can now start gheying out 24/7 with your new gheywad mac friends. :dunno:

serious replies only, please. am very lost on this thing. tried to log on to ksufans earlier and sent me to a porn site. pleasantly surprising.

I think you should have bought it AFTER figuring out if there was cool crap you could do with it. Do you own a diamond mine we are not aware of?
-
You can now probably go to a coffee shop sit down and and act like your browsing the internet and they will all accept you. just like this > :users:
-
You can go to the Mac store and talk to those smarty pants guys. They work for free I think.
-
Does anybody else think macs are overrated? I mean they are cool and I would take one, but they are extremely over priced and you can basically do the same things on a Dell, HP, etc. I am very satisified with my HP. I also use most of the Microsoft Office programs, and I believe that macs do not come with all of them.

:comehere:
if you're just a Word-Excel-Powerpoint-Internet-iTunes computer user, there is no real difference between a mac and a pc. anything beyond that, and it's all personal preference. since i got my mac, i've personally had less problems with freezing and the mac has some pretty cool apps to streamline your computing experience (AppFresh, Quicksilver, Spaces, etc...)

seriously if this doesn't bring pissclams out of hiding I don't know what will.

Basically all you can do is post on forums that you have one.
And get a turtle neck.
And pancreatic cancer.

also good luck I hear those things get viruses like crazy nowadays.

i have never seen so much jealously in one thread.

Good luck man, sounds dangerous being a Mac user.

As for things you can do on your Mac that you couldn't do on your Dell: Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

I'm going against what everyone else is saying to tell you that you made a smart choice. Plus, you ARE able to run Microsoft Office on a mac. Just buy/pirate Parallels which will allow you to run Windows and Mac at the same time if you want to do that.

You made a smart choice, I just won't tell you why and give a laughable example of having to use virtualization to run basic software.

Yep, the $399 HP Laptop from Best Buy, they sold 10 of them while I was there. Very happy so far, first PC with Vista though, and Vista sucks IMO, but the performance the Laptop itself is fine.
BTW . . . the Samsung LED TV's . . . :eek:
Just not in the budget right now . . . :-[

Got that same deal. Vista is ghey too, but hopefully Windows 7 is :thumbsup: when I get the free upgrade in October.
My fan is not even noticeable. Don't even know what it sounds like :confused: That sucks PPat :-[

I like my dell studio 17" monitor I got for $699. Don't remember all the extra stuff like RAM, HD space but I'm sure it's awesome. Had it about a year and love it no problems (has vista) meh.

Vista complainers are huge tards, but W7 is even better, running it now.

Wow. They have Microsoft Office for Mac. You made a great choice. Many people talk about all the crap they got for their PC for small prices, but the average PC user is going to have to spend more than that to keep it running because they'll eventually encounter problems with it. Also, Macs cost more, but their resale value is ridiculously high.
The user experience has also been rated much higher. Macs are easier to use and Apple has great customer service.
BTW, LOL at Vista users for having to run tons of extra software to do anything (like rip a DVD).
Some elite things to do:
- Download QuickShareIt
QuickShareIt is a free application that you place in your dock. You can drag any file to the icon, and it'll upload it to the Web and give you a link to the URL. If you drag a folder or multiple files at the same time, it'll .zip them.
- Download HandBrake
A great application for ripping/compressing DVDs.
- Use the included software
Add your contacts to Address Book, set up your e-mail account on Mail, use iCal, etc. All of these applications work great and are integrated together. Also, if you have your information added to Address Book properly, it's very easy to auto-fill any form online.
- Use iLife
iPhoto, iMovie, iWeb and GarageBand are all exceptional software thats better than anything that comes built-in with Windows. If you want to make a ringtone, edit a movie, organize your photos, make a Web site, etc., there are plenty of things you can very easily with iLife.
More to come...

Customer service:

Resale value:
http://www.applematters.com/article/the-amazing-resale-value-of-your-mac/
To run Handbrake on Vista, users must also be running SlySoft in the background to get around the DRM-protection.
BTW, how much extra crap do PC users normally buy when purchasing a new laptop? Anti-virus software?
-
Anti Virus software is free. Every single thing you need can be had for free (legally)
And in case you hadn't heard, Apple recommends OSX users to run an anti-virus now.
There is NO disputing the Macs are the easiest computers to hack.

Good luck running games on your Mac, loser!

Oh. Well, I used to be a PC user. I got a Mac and I like it a lot better.

Looks like I won this argument 8-)

I didn't realize this was a Mac vs. PC thread. I thought this was a thread for people with Macs to talk about Mac stuff. Nobody cares what PC users think about Macs.
-
No, this thread was about what he could do on his mac that he couldn't do on his PC - hence a PC vs mac thread.

Why do you think Vista sucks? Especially if performance is fine?

iChat, Front Row, HD!!!

Don't you feel like a total dumbsh*t using software that all starts with i ??? I know I sure would.

whenever i see someone w/a mac, i get angry because they are better than me.

iChat, Front Row, HD!!!
i mean, that can't be the only perks of mac can it?
having switched back to pc, i feel like i can do anything i want on it. mac didn't offer the same flexibility. only reason i thought macs were better, were because the pc's i had were sh*t.
4gb, vista, big hd, freedom, $700, :love:
-
i mean, there is just an elite image w/mac's. the people w/them exude ridiculous confidence.
but they are totally crap to use. like the ones @ hale, jesus they suck.
