I'm just wondering if anyone knows anything or has any experience with macs? I'm looking into the emac G4 superdrive. Anyone know anything about it?
Thanks,
Bacon
 
I don't really know hardly anything about computers. I know that the emac superdrive has a G4 processor and an 80gb hard drive.
I've been looking at them on macmall.com
 
if you do not know much about computers then I would definately recomment a pc. they are better supported when things go wrong and although they do not look as nice they are a hell of a lot cheaper.
 
yes, but to get an 80gb hard drive on a pc you actually pay more than for the emac. I just want to know if anyone has used both mac and pc and could give me the pros and cons of them

i got my 80GB WD drive for $90...thats hardly expensive. look for deals..a little research can save you $100's of dollars sometimes.

Yes but thats because PC users are getting 7200RPM 8MB drives, not 5400RPM 2MB drives :) (even then, at $75CAD its quite affordable)
 
I am still not convinced by Lorand. I think your comments are actually really dumb. Anyway, I'm not really leaning one way more than the other, but I still haven't heard from anyone who sounds like they have much personal mac experience except for those who used one once years ago. I'm sure that graphics or whatever have been updated in the past however many years. It seems to me that everyone is extremely biased and I think a lot of that is simply because macs are less common. Anyway, if you are all so hot on pcs what are some pcs that you all love the most?
 
Unfortunately I must work on Macs from time to time. And here's the Mac-facts:
1. A G4 with MacOS X is slower than my old Athlon 2000+ PC.
2. You can forget about multitasking when converting an eps to a 300 MB tif in Photoshop (I tried to work in QuarkXpress in the meantime, without any luck, so I had to wait 25 minutes until the end of that conversion).
3. The text reflows in a Quark document saved, closed and then reopened (this thing never happened to me on PCs).
4. Keyboard shortcuts - anything but ergonomic...
5. Mouse - no comment... you must see it for yourself...

You want some more?

what are some pcs that you all love the most?
Home-made PCs. :)
 
I actually wasn't talking about your comments Sir. I was talking about Lorand. Anyway, I wasn't trying to be rude anyway, I'm just looking for some opinions and advice. Did you look at the links I posted?
 
I was talking about Lorand.
Thanks... :P
Did you look at the links I posted?
The first link (Psycho AMD) is a pretty (not outstanding) setup, but the price is somewhat too high.
The second one (Super Mini) has an onboard video card, so I don't recommend it.

almost ALL there computers use onboard graphics/very low end cards(9200SE?!?! its a $1200 computer!)...i wouldnt get any of them. not to mention you could build that for half the price if not less.
and no matter how "dumb" Lorand's comments sound (i don't believe there dumb at all) you should still consider what he has to say. mac's have been TERRIBLE in the past...and thats not to be overlooked today. some people llove them...but you dont see those people alot online showing off there awesome rigs...cuz there not awesome rigs lol.

Other way around ... they were brilliant in the past ... now that PCs have more than caught up, they dont quite have the (performanc) 'appeal' they used to

Yeah but if you need to show off your computer ... that says something about you...... :D
