Why are Apple computers crap

But these Apple computers ( I'm on one now ) don't format the  same way a s other computers. for example Apples won't display the template on my crappy free website. Everytime someone tries to copy and paste from something i've sent them using an Apple it comes out all cockeyed. A few people have told me to stay away from them. Bitchy things. emails get srewed up as well. Myspaces don"t format. I can't believe this company is in business. I went to the Apple store downtown and the sales staff don't have a clue. One kid tries for half an hour to get the template up on my website which is a picture of Father time here it is www.thedayoftimestop.webs.com and can't get it to display along with the blue background. He blames it on the site then I show him all kinds of other formatting problems. Then he blames gmail progarchives and military.com for being f**ked up

How can this company be in bloody business?????????

Understandable. And clearly, some people are indeed happier with PCs, but it all comes down to preference. To call one make of computer/operating system 'crap' when compared to one you normally use seems a little rash even to me, and believe me, I used to say that about Windows machines all the time. Anymore, though, I just realize that we all have our own preference, and I can see why some people prefer PCs over Macs. The reasons you gave for preferring PCs are legitimate and were presented in a calm, non-hostile fashion. I applaud that.

Hell, some people even prefer Linux.

The hardware is essentially the same, except the PC platform gives one a choice of hardware, and which hardware, in the PC case, is exponentially configurable to the whims of the user.

 

OS is just a matter of choice.  Some like Mac OS, some like Windows.  Neither is inherently better.  The argument can be made that Mac OS is less sucsceptible to viruses, malware, etc.  Why would anyone spend time fishing in a pond only occupied by 10% of the fish?, when the other 90% is so much more willing to bite.  The same reason they'd be writing software for that 90%.

 

Apple makes excellent consumer devices.  I don't need to list them, but I will:  all their pc's, the Ipod, the Iphone, now the Ipad.  There is nothing wrong with any of these.  My family has more than a few.

 

Many diverse manufacturer's make excellent PC hardware, and MS once in a while makes great software.  We own more than a few of those as well. 

 

My daughter had a decent consumer-grade HP laptop.  It died.  My son had a great IMac.  It died.  About four years lifetime for both.  I've got an Acer netbook, running XP.  It works well.  My wife has a Gateway desktop, running Win 7.  It works.  There's an old Compaq desktop 'round here still working.  It's running XP.  It ain't so happy anymore, but jeez it's six or seven years old.  It rebooted one evening and re-installed original XP.  Don't know why and frankly don't have the inclination to figure out why.  Have an HP laptop that frankly is a POS.  Not Microsoft's fault, as it's well known that the AMD configuration for the machine is garbage. 

 

Just bought a ThinkPad running Win 7.  We'll see how that goes.  At least it ain't no Macbook Air, which was a very appropriate name.

 

f**king computers. To quote Homer Simpson, the cause of, and the solution to, all of our problems.
