HAHA YAH I still looove analog...but sucks with my mac since mac only takes digital...:/

noahs a computer nerd of course he prefers pcs:)
nerds like the pc
designers like the mac
end of story.

watch the commercial...the mac guy is all artsy and the pc guy is all nerdy:) lol

wow....good for u guys man. I am a graphic artist as well - but I dont like working full time in that...Im not passionate enough about it - but its fun to do once in a while:) I have little contracts here and there...enough for me:)
I think I might keep the mac...my bf convinced me...hehehe
Anyways - I have seen soooo many debates on what is better mac or pc...it never ends....

I like both:)
Both are very useful for different things. Now lets end this. :)

yes dj neoform is right - as most jobs I have had required mac knowledge and most adds u see for designer jobs ask for mac knowledge...its awesome main reason being u can have a million programs open at once. When I worked on my pc - having illustrator/photoshop/premiere/and flash open at once killed my comp...it went extremely slow...also compressing files takes a million yrs - but on a mac..much faster. It is THEE computer for the media industry.

lol yeah murdock - I would but I hardly do annnnyyyyyyy media-type stuff anymore...more for fun - simple things.
also...Im kinda sick of the mac layout....:(
what do u guys think of this laptop...would it be good for what Im talking about?:

also...I have a 20 inch flat screen monitor I intend to keep. How do you connect the monitor to the laptop? I never knew how to do that...
Oh have an extra mouse too:)

ok thats ok as I wont be doing much...more designing on photoshop/illustrator....

ok so if I were to use premiere and capture video it would go reaallllyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy slow?

anyone here have a laptop? are they good for listening to music/watching movies etc?

hahahaha
Nah I pay much less for hydro now I moved:) 100/month for 5 1/2 upper duplex..place is huge+heats well:)
but yah I paid too much for the mac..i need a hug

man thats one thing I love about mac...its soooooooo damn easy to install software....I love it...but finding the software..that is the question;)
I havent had problems so far though.

AMEN

I wanna get something like this:
[ www.tigerdirect.ca ]

lol uhh..hehe
I love macs still its ok;)

ah that sucks!
maybe I should sell my mac for 1800 and go back to pc!!!

I had all kinds of virus protectors/firewall protectors and still got massively infected. It was an ok computer but nothing compared to the mac I have.
ANyways I like both systems for different reasons so I cant really argue with anyone on this.
moondance- yes I spent a lot on my PC but I bought it 5 years ago before they were so insanely cheap - also I got it for school with top notch hardware for video editing/etc - costs more...I ended up having to buy 2 mother boards after that because spyware infected them...even though I was protected and reformatted a few times.
Its a crazy world out there!
I dont regret switching to mac and trying it out - its great...I do regret spending a large amount of money on it though...

u do? I dont remember paying for an OS update...

I have worked on pc all my life and when I got a mac it was a miracle!! lol
Its fast/smooth/Im able to work much faster with video than I was with a pc.
However I want to switch back to pc because I am no longer working so much on the graphics these days - not enough to use this powerful a machine.
Its more a question of what you are comfortable with. I know shit about hardware - I am more a software nerd. And I hated having to reformat every 6 months and upgrade on my pc - have it overheat and so on..I ended up spending about 4000$ within 4 years on my pc - when I spent that much on the mac that is supposed to last me the next 4 yrs.
I also think pcs are for the nerds who like building their comps and macs are for the lazy ones who dont;) like me hehehe.
I want something simple for now - a laptop where I can still capture video and burn it onto dvd ...shitty thing is I cant even do that on my mac because it doesnt support analog which is what I have!! I need to buy a capture box or something...

I just want to get rid of this thing LOL

then why do macs last so much longer and pcs need to be constantly upgraded? thats what confuses me...
I havent turned my mac off since I bought it and it still runs like a dream...I could never do that with a pc..?

I have no idea...:/

macs are better for a lot of reasons as PC...anyways
Now I have to think about losing over 1000$ - but gaining 2000$ back...hehehe

hehe the keyboard alone is 100+...an apple keyboard is pricey

yeah Im thinking of trying 2100 and seeing what happens......the keyboard and mouse are included too...

lol true - well I have an adds up so we'll see hehehe....

as I said before - I need the money AND I want to buy a laptop along with some profit...I dont use the mac fully and dont have much time to use it anyways I am always working/school etc.
Anyways looks like i am not selling it - not getting a good reaction...

u know what - u are right - after I bought it they told me something new came out - like RIGHT after...at the time I was like whatever cuz its still a really amazing computer...but I guess selling it for 1000 less than what I paid is out of the question now...:(

I ordered my mac off the apple website when it just came out - but I upgraded it to a more advanced model - not the main one they were selling - hence it came to $3400 at the time.
Specs are right - copied/pasted them from my mac.

LOL I am not that desperate regimental;)

sorry let me refrain:
I ordered it at BMAC but they order it from the Apple site with you.

Ok I will say it again...IT IS NOT A YEAR.5 OLD IT IS 4 MONTHS OLD I BOUGHT IT THIS JULY :)

Most of my mac freak friends tell me the price I have is a very good deal - I have friends who work with mac everyday and one of them was even willing to buy it for 2500 but he just left for australia so we will see when he gets back hehehe

ehmmm not what I heard...hehehe

really? but I got it when it just came out this july...
I got the newest mac - didnt wanna get something old...so its really 1.5 yrs old? thats odd considering the apple site usually keeps the latest machines on their site and deletes the old ones...
A friend of mine bought the pro for 3400....ehe its worth the price but makes sense that its 1000 costing more than mine and mine is almost new...

Murdock - I would keep it but need the money...:/

well I use a mac - spam protected:)
but yah the spam sucks...it killed my old pc.
yah i got the arabs too..but not that many

LOL ok thats true.

ehm ravewave became a looot like myspace in the past few years. Lots of random people messaged me in the past to be friends and I Dont mind but I dont really take it seriously...I am not really into the scene these days anymore - and have nothing against what people want...
myspace is the same thing - djs on here have their profiles - with reviews/party listings..whats the diff between that and a band or a dj having a myspace profile with their music/profile? and people commenting?
myspace also has event listings and message boards and chat...same thing as this..
and this is how bored i am at work arguing about something so stupid...lol

I have no idea what u mean and I dont think I wanna know ...

they have the worst luck - like last yr with koivu..:S

LOL

u guys are sick.

what! nooooo

anyone who bashes myspace and has a profile on here is kinda being hypocritical...like I said before it is good for finding old friends - discovering kick ass rock bands..if u wanna...
if u dont like myspace then who cares - let people do what they want. [ Rave.ca ] is practically the same thing - some people have extremely tacky profiles on here with ugly colors/ model and take pics of themselves to be cool - there is even a DATING SECTION NOW!!! and so on....its all pathetic and desperate. So whatever. :)
