    I was told to use FDISK, so thats what I use.

    You able to use that most those other programs from DOS?

    I have a mac, PC and a Linux box... and I find the Linux system the most stable...

    I liken a lot of PC users to Harley riders. They don't like the idea of something being better or even superior. So they blinker themselves to it and throw scorn from a position of ignorance. Hehe.

    Seriously though, each to their own, but from my own perspective, PC's just seem so overly complicated compared to Macs, and no-one else has yet convinced me otherwise.

    I'm with you Ceebie, I don't have any preference really when it comes to computers, they're the same thing to me

    but each to their own.

    I have qualifications in both Mac's, and Windows based systems.

    In my opinion theres nothing good about Macs. The range of software is medicore at best and the most useful utilities and apps don't support Mac OS at all.

    A Windows based PC is nearly 100% stable and effective when in the right hands. I have left my home PC on for just over 7 months without a restart before, and it only got restarted because I installed new software that required it. You can't fault that.

    I never have any spyware or virus issues, even though a good proportion of my use P2P and .torrent related.

    It's all about the user, sure a Mac will give the average dumbass less problems. But the average smarter person will realise the humble PC is the best option, they cost far less, are far more upgradable, and you can be assured any software you want to use will be supported.

    There's a reason Mac's are crushed in worldwide use numbers by Windows systems, and that's not just because of Microsofts stranglehold on the market. It's also because there are just plain better.

    the scary part is that he's bloody right lol , one of my mates is just like that, glasses and all.

    Also if Mac's are so great (i donno much about the comp world), then surely they would outsale window's if people say how crap it is. It doesn't matter if your the biggest company in thr world etc, if you have a shit product, no one is gonna want it lol

    Macs main target aren't the home user, there main target market is the multi media industry, audi, video graphic design etc... (tho the PC can do exactly the same thing cheaper)

    True to an extent...

    Until the release of XP, Microsoft OS's were not exactly quality(except for Win 95 ), yet they still outsold Mac's big time...

    Microsoft does seem to blind the world into almost believing Mac's don't exist...fair enough though, they shouldn't exist...

    Yes, but I guess to go against what I have been saying, Mac's do perform well in this field.

    Its an error generated by the software used to create the restore CD's (Which is probably why NEC support have no fucking idea, because only the guys at NEC who create restore CD's would know about it)
    Most common cause of errors like that is a scratched/corrupted restore disc set.

    So do PCs... I use my PC over the mac here as the software is cheaper... and it does the job just as well...

    just don't clutter your system up with crud and it will run smoothly...

    Blah

    Own a brand new shiny iMac. Best thing I have done.

    I spent over $3000 building a top of the line PC, each part chosen carefully and spent alot of time and effort getting it perfect. What a complete waste of time and money that was! Yes ok it could play the latest games at full res with grunt to spare, but geesh the constant updates, the neverending patches and then the software incompatibilites etc etc too much hassle. A year later, and the computer was almost a different machine after almost every part had been upgraded to 'keep up'. What a waste of time and money!

    My shiny iMac has never failed me.

    You take it out of the box, ALL the software is allready on it. Everything is designed to work together seemlessly - and it does. There is close to zero maintanence required - ie no weekly virus scans, then running three diferent adaware scanners and de-fraggin (which FYI is done on the fly on a mac).

    Everything is EASIER, SIMPLER, LOOKS BETTER, and now thanks to clever Intel chips FAST too!

    As for upgrading? heck I wont need to pay anything for at least 3 years, then I will just go out and buy a new one! Actually cheaper than keeping a PC up-to-date!

    And now thanks to mac mini they are cheaper too!! The whole 'macs are more expensive' is mearly an illusion. Your getting a whole lot more for your money when you buy a mac!

    Oh and the reason why sales are less? May I remind you who Invented DOS in the first place!!! Then sold it to Microsoft... they then spent billions and made all the mistakes, at no cost to Apple while Apple sat quiet and spent its money on making a product that actually works!! Its funny how everyone was oohing and arring over the look and feel of XP when it was released? Well a lot of the cosmetics (look) of XP were actually stolen from mac os! You look at longhorn and you will see an uncanny resembalance to mac os x - the current os of apple macs!! Apple is leading the way! Bill Gates cant keep up...

    Bring on the revolution!! Buy a Mac!!
