My PC sucks

It's like two years old and has died many times

CD Rom isn't working
It crashes all the time now

I just put it to factory settings two weeks ago and it's just as fooked

It's slow, crap and old and any decent game doesn't work.

I'm going to buy Mac next time, meanwhile I'll use this crap to go on net and write English essays.

I want to play Warcarft 3 :(

My parents bought my first PC in 96 and it cost £1500 and now the only use is a paperweight

Stupid old PC microsoft crappy crap crap

Flagging sales? What the hell are you on about? The new iMac was the most reserved piece of hardware ever on Amazon and sold out everywhere in the UK (bloody impossible to get one when I tried, and Harrods did have 1000 go in the first day). Anyways, you seem to forget the major point and the reason I love my Mac so much. It emulates and runs Windows as a program. I can play what I want on my GeForce 4 G4 Mac and do what I want. It rips open any other computer in terms of speed and power and looks sexy too.

Mac's rule. Even more so now with OSX.
You pay for bluescreens and you pay for quality. Its your choice.

...Does Shanks mean Macs are good? I saw lots of letters and stuff.

Macs are prettier than Windows and have better colours. Tis my reason.

lol... er-no, single handedly trying to revive Apples flagging sales!

From what I remember, a recent survey showed that Mac users were more intelligent and more creative than their PC owning counterparts...

And they do provide a much safer operating environment, Ive noticed a lot of problems console gamers seem to encounter when trying out PC titles, which just wouldnt occur in an Apple O/S environment???

I was always a little surprised that Apple didnt embrace games developers wth more open arms (they always seem to have been a little snooty toward gamers?) Macs does seem to be the perfect computer gaming platform? After the shift from the Amiga and ST, I think Apple missed a real oppourtunity?

Speaking of which, for some reason I seem to have an old neXt box sitting in storage (aka my parents garage), with a full unix OS, 17" monitor, 1024x768 standard res, it was far ahead of its time in '91...

I want a mac. I have a laptop which is pretty decent but not a mac. Macs are far more reliable, and in my view have a better operating system and a good architecture.

I just need to finish uni, get a job and then get one.
