TE is also provides excellent technical support for those using Windows. And by using our customer support services all around the world, it's available 24/7 and in a variety of languages.
Windows users don't need to get the Microsoft (pun NOT intended but there it is, I'm sure some will run with it :cool: ) extended waranty for this service.
...And yet TE Tech Support will NOT cover Microsoft run errors or mount/unmount failures.
I've been looking at a PC recently who seems to have incredible compatibility, memory and processing features. Unaware of hardware and peripherals included, however. Should probably stay that way. :rolleyes: Yes, I cross platform. Yes, I love my mac... but I'm not dead, either. ;) :D
Beware any PC that claims to be "a Mac trapped in a PC's case." This does NOT happen, is NOT a good idea, and at best would make a lousy Mac anyway, at worst is a very weird and unstable PC...
Linux is most compatible with Mac (note the Unix kernel info in OSX....) and yet... not.
Confusing beyond words...
>>Mount :C
:C cannot be mounted.
>>Mount harddrive
harddrive cannot be mounted.
...Let us return to plug 'n' play fun, with iBuzz, iCuddle and iMelt.
So much easier!
Yes, PCs are definitely less expensive, but most of their needs are relatively simple. They're just born that way. I guess most PCs find the extent of their processing power used for Blood Money or Tank Commander.
In contast, take the elegance of Macs in white (even after Labor Day), their big, wide screens, gazillions of colors and the friendly, fecund Creative Suite. It even sounds pleasant. Ahh... Creative Suite.
Sure Macs cost more, but face it, they're MACs.
As someone who has done some cross-platforming in the past (OK, so it was mostly in the college days) and even some multi-OS-using (no comment) all I can say is there are pros and cons to both.
I was wondering when someone was going to mention Linux.Quote:

We Linux users must live without iBuzz, iCuddle and iMelt, and even sound and video sometimes, but at least we have compilers. :rolleyes:
ok, now I'm totally lost :confused:
GF 1.0 was dumped faster than an AOL CD turns into a frisbee at the hands of a happy Firefox/Qwest user.
GF 2.0, though? by contrast, the difference between OS9 and OSX! iCook and iClean are fully appreciated and the Spite and Guilt widgets seem to have been left out of this v. entirely. iCry needs not happen as often, but when it does (uh, maybe autoexecuted by overuse of beer 5.0, wine 6.0) :o it's a cleansing and restoring program, instead of a sign that one is on the way to system failure.
warm_fuzzies and HotFood, when run with the DVD player autoloads iCuddle. ohhhhh iCuddle! I'd started thinking that that was a fictional program! Oh how long ago that seems... :D
No threats to restart. No BSOD or heavy system balking when I run system eval or inquire about processes... *bliss* ...and she runs iBike! !!!!
This was the first time I read this thread and I about pee'd my pants.
Too funny.
I am currently running Husband 1.0, I guess now it could be considered beta since some of the bugs have been fixed with service pack 2 which included bike 1.0, long deployment 6.5 and travel planner 6.0. Long deployment and travel planner have been crucial in keeping husband 1.0 running smoothly. travel planner will be upgraded shortly with additional add-ons such as malaysia 1.0, australia 4.0, and china 1.0.
A great thread, but i need some help...I'm now running Husband 2.0 (better graphics, newer model, bigger hard drive, and complete with iron.exe, dishes.exe, and rememberbirthdays.exe - and an extra special buyyouabike.exe which I never thought I'd be able to find), but now, well, I've got two small laptops (one Mac, one PC) with extra sound cards, and I've crashed my sleep.exe, getalong.exe, and s.exe. I've also been infected with pointlessbicker.exe and clutter.exe. I've installed DayCare1.0 as a virus protection device against any further infections, but I don't want to run Motherinlaw2.0 as well, although I may have no choice. Any advice? Like where's the 'mute' on the laptops? I did try Lingerie9.0 to restore s.exe (needed to upgrade from Lingerie5.0 after we got the laptops), but it seemed to only restart Snoring7.5.
For my laptops a pacifier peripheral functioned as a mute switch allowing nap.exe to autostart.
Please realize that Daycare1.0 increases the likelihood of virus infection for all other machines on the home network.
I love MACs. I tried windows Husband 1.0 which kept crashing because of the GF1.0 program overriding the Husband 1.0 program and trying to run. Once I got a new hard drive and installed GF 1.0 permanently my Mac really purrred. The only problem now GF1.0 has some bad virus I didn't know about and think I need to look for some new software - GF2.0. Once I went to a Mac I will never go back to windows. ;)
I am still running the Husband program, but have upgraded the original 1.0 model with new RAM (installed painfully, with the shoveitup.exe Run application), so he now runs more like Husband 2.0. (I eyed up the new models, but decided, since I had learned to work well with Husband 1.0 over a ten year period, an upgrade would suffice).
Upgrade installation was very tricky and required several reboots, but so far Husband 2.0 runs dishes.exe., childcare.exe, and youhavealife.2.exe., which were all missing from the original program. Jewelery application is running surprisingly well, and listening.exe, never very strong in Husband 1.0, has been an especially useful app.
Hotfood.3.0 now runs well on Husband 2.0, but only with the vegetarian default, which is non-barbeque . It does include an enhanced applet called soupmaking.exe though. As we know, Hotfood3.0 was only previously available for the Mac models (GF 2.0, Wife 1.0., 1.1., 1.2., 2.0., 2.1 and 2.2) which tend to be ahead of their PC counterparts.
We have three little Laptops, 2 PC and one Mac (middle laptop) which needs more re-booting than both the PCs together and is especially hard to shut down as well. All three spontaneously create new programs, get infected by viruses, and require regular maintenance. Lingerie 7.7 has not been run in years, although Hotfood.3.0 is frequently run. Nanny 2.1 is an absolute must, as long as you manually delete ibarf, icry and ileave programs.
Great thread!

lol, you guys are too much. this thread is the only one i actually enjoy reading. :o :D
I, too, will never go back to a PC after having gotten a Mac. :cool:
Amen sista! heh. Good thing the current Mac doesn't want an overhaul... I guess that would mean I'd have to load in Buttlift 2.0, Totalfacelift 3.2 and Liposuction 2.8... I hear those are very expensive and once they are loaded, it tends to look for another Mac that is more asthetically pleasing as well. I'm so glad that the my Mac has Roadbikelove 3.4 and Mtblove 2.5 and is wonderful the way she is. As usual, the Mac proves completely compatible. :cool: :D
On an unrelated note, I have to actually take the Mac (computer) in for repair today. I am of course, writting this on my PC. Whooda thunk? :o :p
How do you get a Mac to accept a program like roadbikeluv 1.0 or mtnbikeluv 1.0? Does Mac need an overhaul if no programs will download or run? Is it a virus if Mac only wants to run sitathome 1.0?
Having gotten rid of an old PC with way too many bugs and troublesome programs installed by it's builder (mamasboy 1.0), I am currently existing w/o either platform. Yup, it's just me and my handheld device for now.
