My Fellow Mac Owners (If you have an eMachine stay your ass out!)

[Deuterion]

After you got your own Mac did Windows just seem extremely archaic to you? I've been on Mac OS X for not even a full day but when I booted up my Sony FW390 laptop, Windows 7 looked like something Jesus used to write the Bible with. It looked like something found in an Kemetian Pyramid...an artifact. It sucks because I love Windows but it's luster is now gone and I don't think I can go back.

@ eMachine

but nah, not right away... but that's my fault because I just grabbed it out the box and didn't take the time to read things like making the bottom right side of the track pad the right-click button (which I got around to doing a day or so later) after that? yeah, forget about it!

nope, with windows I feel I have more control over my system, I can defrag and check disk to make sure my drives are up to performance, and contrary to popular beliefs macs do get fragmented especially when you are trying to resize a disk and you have 300 gigs of free space but can only resize 20 gigs out of it. Cut and paste is also I nice feature I like with windows and all my editing and gif making apps dont come in a mac version. One thing I had to get use to was how the mac mouse feels, even with the highest mouse settings the thing just drags comparing to using a mouse on windows

I've been using a Mac since OS 6. Whenever I use a pc then come back to my mac it feels like I'm home.

What do you do on your Mac that can not be done on windows 7?

I don't remember saying that OS X had features that Windows 7 didn't. What I did say though is that the design and layout of the OS makes it easier to operate thus increasing productivity.

I always found it awkward! Same with Ubuntu and they are somewhat similar to me layout wise.

[Word?!!]

Yo..... this was my exact reaction when I switched to Mac like 5 years ago.

A nigga felt like a Jetson at home and a Flintstone at work.

 

[Bigmario23]

Sometimes I get confused and frustrated trying to find simple task
in windows (mainly 7 and Vista) makes sense cause I used them both
sparingly...the last one i really use was XP in 02? lol

This apple/adobe shit though

 

[Brother Blues]

After I got my Mac, Windows became a burden that I was forced to use at work.

 

[hmmm]

what about the osx 'layout'(?) in particular makes w7 seem 'archaic' to you?

 

[Deuterion]

The whole entire OS from the way you access drives, to how you install software, it's menu system, it's icons and designs, it's literally the entire OS.

 

[Bridgep0rt]

upw do i do that shit

 

[bigdog_bx]

Funny thing happened to me today, which makes me love my mac even more. Some lame-ass hacked one of my friends AIM and was talking to all her friends. I knew something was funny cause you can tell when its your people. They were asking me if I would do them a favor and tell them who was in a pic with me, but the file was a .scr file. Obviously the Mac don't fuck with those. So this idiot try's to get me to go on a PC to download it. Anyway, Im glad the Mac didn't fuck with it cause I accepted it on reflex from my friend and had I had a PC. Im sure I would have been fucked.

i find myself on my mbp more than my pc workstation even though the screen size is 13in and my workstation is 27in. I use my 50in lcd as a monitor alot with my mbp. I just prefer doing everything but using ms office on my mbp. Dude on that show leverage has a mbp hooked up just like mine with a black speck case which I thought was cool.

I can use either OS. i like win7. I prefer windows' windowing method and file explorer. Its more convenient to me. I dont really give a shit either way as long as Im using a recent linux distro, leopard or win7/win2k8.
