Mini-Mac sucks

[Mango]

I've spent 1700.00 over seven years. How much did you pay for your computer off the shelf?

Btw, my computer runs video editing programs just fine. 2.4 ghz with 1 gig of ram, 256 mgs of video memory, and 260 gigs of HD space. Its not top of the line, but its better than 90% of the systems out there. And because I'm not a retard, I've never had a problem running windows OS.

Sorry you got ripped off.

People have the choice to buy what they want. Stop trying to belittle people for choosing something OTHER than what you like.

[FragTek]

Can't we all just get along?

[Bluestrike_2]

Rooster, you amaze me.

You take it personally, as if my using a Mac has wronged you. Grow up. People have the right to choice. If they don't agree with your narrow-mindedness, then so be it.

For my needs, and the needs of many others, the Mac OS X is superior, without a doubt.

Ok, so you're not a retard with running windows. So? Does that mean that all of it's problems are acceptable? No!

Also, for the record, I used Windows for years before switching to Mac OS X.

Obviously, your time is worth nothing.

Sorry you got ripped off.

It's sorry, that you think that you got the better deal. But without people like you, I'd be unemployed. Keep it up.

You realize who you're talking to, right? This is like telling van Gogh not to paint, Michelangelo not to sculpt, or Edison not to invent.

It's what, nay, all he does; it's in his blood. You might as well tell a leopard to change his spots.

"It's sorry, that you think that you got the better deal. But without people like you, I'd be unemployed. Keep it up."

Yeah, without people to wash my car, I would be in sorry shape. Keep up the good work. And when I'm not at work I don't figure my time is very valuable, especially if I'm having fun. I don't go to a movie and figure I spent $100 of my time. I figure I spent $7.00 and two hours of my life.

Frankly, it is your choice to be a moron. It doesn't mean I have to be happy about it. Macs suck, liberals suck, dance, pop, and rap "music" sucks, Toyotas sold as Lexus suck (as well as Hondas sold as Acuras), soccer moms suck, the gun control movement sucks, the crime dramas on TV suck, all Big 12 college football teams suck, and all professional sports teams from New England and New York suck.

I'm sure somebody likes these things, but I'm willing to tell anyone, at any time, in any place that they are a moron if they like any of the above, and I'll tell them why.

[Bluestrike_2]

So basically, you hate Macs because Jobs is a liberial? Forgive me if I'm wrong, but that's what your post seems to imply. I'm a conservative republican, however I do not feel that I should use what is an inferior product just because the CEO is a democrat.

While I agree with you that rap is stupid, I don't walk around calling anyone who listens to it a moron.

You sir are an insecure fool if you take it personally what kind of computer I use. Pathetic!

[Load SM5]

I can't see it happening, but I'll give this a chance to return to a civilized discussion. Leave the feces throwing and political crap out of it.

... all professional sports teams from New England and New York suck.

OK, I figured it out.

The man hates winners.

Just to bring this back on subject.

nano-itx in a MacMini

Kinda cool. Kinda pointless.

But Rooster should get some tight pants over somebody putting a slower PC is a Macmini case, cause hey, it's one less macmini, right?

[teufelhunden]

Except there's no optical drive in there

[GoatBoy]

Generally speaking, the response to the Mac Mini has been pretty positive. Almost all the people I've talked to liked the product. This includes people who are PC users.

The only negative comments pretty much only come from:

1. People who hate Apple for some reason (sometimes a legitimate claim, even if it has no bearing on the hardware merits)
2. People who really just don't get it

And in this case, we have someone who is a sophisticated blend of the two. Either way, they usually don't come up with very compelling arguments, as we've all just witnessed. It's just a lot of nonsensical fanatacism.

I'm no Mac fan myself; I've personally disliked the whole "pre-emptive multitasking is just a fad" attitude that the Mac bigots held on to (for what seemed to be an eternity). Plus the whole "trying a little too hard to be special" thing got really annoying.

But OS X appears to be a competent operating system (complete with a kernel under the hood which does exactly what the Mac idiots said they didn't need), and the Mini looks like the best choice for removing the big, dumb x86 box that's driving my HDTV.


Oh, and I have a Mini-ITX system. I can tell you from first hand experience, Via processors are SLOW. And let's not even get into the "S3 Unichrome vs. Radeon 9200" thing. And then there's the whole problem with buggy Via chipset behavior (Via Rhine, anyone?). Anyone who pits nano-itx against a Mac Mini with a straight face... has been spending too much time at Fry's in the ATX case and LED illuminated fan department.

[Z-man]

I thought it said MiniMAG

Good post by Goatboy. Most tyimes I see people looking for a thing to try and show why Apple isn't doing anything good is because they have a bone to pick. I like em, you don't. Vote with your money and let me "suffer" with my choice.

[FooTemps]

so rooster... you're saying dance sucks? why?

is it because it's a whole bunch of sissies or savages? or is it just because it's an artistic mode of cultural expression?

[Rooster]

"The man hates winners."

Last I heard the liberals got run out of office in the federal government, Apple went from an over 70% market share to less the 10% (and is owned in a large part by Bill Gates now), The Big 12 got embarrassed in the National title game, The Red Soxs did win for the first time in 86 years, yes I do hate the Patriots because they have consistantly knocked the Steelers out of the Super Bowl, I'm not really sure what Lexus or Acura has won as of late, the assult weapons ban got discontinued so thats not really a victory for gun control advocates, and crime dramas and rap/dance/pop music dominate both TV and radio respectively so they are probably winners.

I just hate crap. In all its many forms.
