It's fine to read at low sizes and has a large character set so it does the job pretty well, and besides, I like the way it looks.


Don't you love it? I can't wait for 9.10. Also, you may wanna ditch the panels and use Docky instead. I have a small bottom panel on autohide that has my login/logoff, places, settings, and volume control. Everything else is launched from the dock. It works incredibly well, even across multiple desktops.

If such codes exist how do you explain people who use Hackintoshes?

and now uses the same hardware as Microsoft from Intel. Which is why windows can be run on Macs.
How is PC software superior to Apple software if they both use Intel chips......??

People have different priorities. For those who have a job and/or want to get work one, there are PCs. For those who want to look cool in Starbucks while drinking overpriced lattess...there's Apple.

Um... first off you can use Windows on Apple hardware and secondly, people who use OS X have jobs...

Since people here are loudly condemning Apple's prices, one would assume that you'd need a job to afford one.

I've built one. See the bolded part.

It's not hacking in the true sense of the word but more of "hacking" something together. You often have to trick the OS into believing that the hardware is Apple approved. Some things will work out of the box though.

Trust funds have babies now? I wasn't aware they were even f***ing.

Honestly all the lather people get into over this Mac vs PC rubbish is ridiculous.

It's a thing. It does a job. It's not important enough to get passionate about. If someone wants to use it, why should anybody else care?

I have a Mac book pro ... $12,000, the thing freezes all the time from logic pro and all my
software.........POS? Maybe....

But at the end of the day... Windows can't keep up, and isn't as media/artsy friendly.

****.

No one on this board - no one - is as obsessive and antagonistic as you are with Macs, but about clothes. It's not even close.

Bullshit. I've never photo-essayed tearing apart a half dozen computers to show you the inferior build quality. There is a 60 page plus thread where Manton argues against wearing black suits to work. You are right that it's not even close. You just aren't smart enough or too biased to see it. You accuse me of being obsessive and antagonistic, but you are the one who always has to open his fat mouth and say something stupid to or about me. Why is that? I address specific posts, you always come in looking for a fight. Have you contributed anything to this thread? I just looked over it and I can't find a single thing out of your mouth but complaints. Maybe you should stay out of these threads from now on. Unless you'd like to have me insult you. In which case, I'm more than happy to oblige. You just let me know by continuing your present course of action.
