Mac vs Windows (version umpteen)

[Mr Keshy]

Look I'm sure you didn't mean to come off as bratty, but your comment kinda gives that impression. Yeah YOUR friends might have those reasons, but don't forget there are many more people outside your small circle. In saying that you think most people don't buy macs because they can't afford it, it almost appears as though you're trying to assert your own privilege/financial status, which I'd say is unadvisable.

Trust me, you don't want to cross that line...I doubt I'm the only one that's holding back from spewing some seriously heated words.

I really didn't mean it that way, very sorry to anyone who felt that way..

I don't know if it's what I said before. But I restricted what I said to MY friends because I know them. They always say that mac's suck, they're too expensive.. Only because their parents don't allow them one. (yes our parents buy our computers). My parents thankfully bought me an iMac, then I sold it and used money that I saved up to buy my Macbook.

I never ever boast about my parents financial status because I don't think I have any right to. It's their money not mine. They choose it to spend it however they see fit. Dad works with computers everyday as well so I think he has good reason to justify purchasing a mac for me.

Guys, this is the second time, cool it. If you want to call someone out for their shortcomings, do it constructively. Don't let this thread descend into rage posts.

EDIT: Cooled. Phew.

I said it would go into a fist fight didn't I?

Look honestly, I know this will go no where. As far as I see it. If your content with what you have. That's awesome. I'm very happy with what I have. I have a gaming PC and a macbook for schooling and music production! Gaming PC is approaching 3 years though.

Chicken_65 generally comes across as genuine and nice.
But he does have the unfortunate habit of sounding BAD when in fact he is trying to be GOOD

Someone fix me up.

(Have I done this multiple times argonaut? )

Lol kesh dw, just beware of your phrasing

Is this the right forum for this thread? ITT we have 17 year olds telling us the only reason we don't buy Macs is because we can't afford it.. When all of us here have worked and saved up many times what this guy has in his whole life?

What?

I think this has raised an interesting point, however - quite a few people tend to express their distaste for the other when they have not even tried them both themselves... I know a fair few people that do this.

Yeah you're right, I moved it to OGD. I meant to earlier but I got distracted by some idiot messaging me on fb

It appears to have been unintentional. I'd say we drop kesh-bashing and go back to mac-bashing 

And stick, true, but I've used a mac, and didn't like it. That said, everyone's entitled to their own opinion

oh wow. Can you please understand that I said it was limited to just my friends who I know well.......

[Stick]

I'm not accusing anyone of doing it and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It pisses me off, however, when people reckon they know all there is to know about both when they haven't even tried one of them. I'm sure we can all relate to this somehow.

Yeah, I think that's why my fuse partially blew

[Russ]

You actually didn't say it was limited to your friends, you made a generalisation which is why people are annoyed

Okay mate. I'm sorry, I made a mistake.

They aren't the only people who buy it but yes, in all honesty, I feel that way sometimes. People simply can't afford a mac so they always say, it's over priced etc.. I'm fortunate enough that my parents allowed me to purchase one.

I said sometimes here, maybe not the best way to say it.


Either way, maybe I didn't say it right, maybe I crossed the line. But everyone makes mistakes right?? I've admitted it. You can stop talking about me now. Thanks
