Its pretty true too tbh. Was sorting out a wireless network for our student house over the summer (11 bedroom mega huge houseage so not as easy as usual), everything was going swimmingly until it came to connecting one of my housemates Macs to the network. It didnt have a builtin wireless card like the laptops, no problem i thought and popped off to see one of the other flatmates who happened to be working at PC world at the time (discount++). As i arrived i went searching for a USB network adapter (can't fit pci cards to a mac, its not cool enough) and low and behold only one supported her version of Mac OS. I bought it and trotted home feeling pleased with myself, plugged it in and hey presto... it work with the router (very decent NEtgear rangemax one, so don't blame the router). I returned the usb pile of crap and proceeded to search the net assuming the wider (but lacking a discount) range would accomodate. I was infact wrong, that was the only USB adapter that supported that version of Mac OS, because the majority with that version have built in wireless.


We now have a 30M cable running up 3 flights of stairs to accomodate for her 'far more powerful and versatile Mac' (she still believes its superior)

If you read that, well played, i wouldn't have bothered.

I always hear people say Macs are way better for grapic design. Why? A PC can run AutoCAD, Photoshop, 3DSMAX, use drawing tablets, and plenty more that I left out.

ALLL at the same time too on a PC.

I think it's that artsy fartsy look that some people get all hot and bothered over.



If I had this I would probably do the "googy googy" too.

Because people who buy macs are often too inept to build a proper PC. It's kinda like consoles v PC. "I could make a better PC or I could go buy this thing out of the box that magically works. OOOOO AHHHHHHH PRETTY WHITE!"
