I think Knucklehead's involvement has something to do with that

For what I use my computer for I do not need to spend the extra cash on a Mac...it just would be irresponsible of me to do so....I know you get a ton of stuff with a mac....but i would probably use like 25% of it if that....I don't see the point

Anyways...I get it you love macs....all mac users do...Heck, I love macs too....I think they are great....but I am not going to spend tons of money on a personal computer when all i use my computer for is surfing the internet and doing school work (papers, powerpoint, etc.)

Now back to being politically incorrect since 1971....
Since you're not into long drawn out statements, I'll make it simple. A Mac mini is $599. If you consider that a ton of money to spend on a computer, then I think we just have different philosophies about owning computers.

not different philosophies, just different budgets....I can not justify paying much for a computer especially when all I use it for is the internet and writing papers...I am going through college and engaged...money isn't exactly something I can spend a lot of

I know you are a huge mac guy...but dude...calm down not everybody on earth needs to own one it will be ok

but thanks for keeping it "simple" for us simpleminded PC users...

now back to regular scheduled randomness

Yep. Apple has made me a lot of money and I'll defend them until they give me a solid reason to do otherwise.

No to mention that the sole reason I was able to start a career in IT is because I knew how to service Apple products at a time when very few did.

I owe Apple for just about every dime I've made in the last five years.

It's amazing. For once, I have absolutely nothing to add to this conversation that would make it any more random. I'm in awe.

Dear Knucklehead,

Thank you for downloading one of the 18 hexajillion known viruses for PCs. You have just inadvertently started World War IV. Have a nice day.

Warmest regards,

Bill Gates

Gentlemen, I am gently trying to get us back on topic. So let's talk RM and Hoops.

I think that this team will now be the Mac daddy. I think Rm will totally speak his mind and not be PC.

I leave for a little bit and the whole thread gets moved!!! I am not sure if I have ever seen I thread completely moved from one section to the other and given a new name!!

Kind of makes me laugh

Its alright Schocho if you love macs...heck, I like macs...and if I could afford one I would get on myself....but I can't, and its just wouldn't be responsible of me to get one...

since you are in the field maybe you (schrcho) can hook me up with a free one??

Just thought I would throw it out there

I never seen a thread cut and pasted like this one...
...it morphed into two separate threads.
