haha ok jack, i agree, all of the iSoftware is kind of ridiculous, but apple's business plan is awesome. for people new to the computer, they can buy something that looks fancy, and does everything a PC can do, but a mac can do it right out of a box, and most retards can figure it out.

i recently bought an apple powerbook to see what all the fuss was about. this is certainly a great computer, and maybe i could use macs for the rest of my life, but i was born and raised on PCs. I've had this computer for 6 months and still cannot be productive when trying to do web development, image editing or anything where i want to be able to manipulate the GUI real fast. Plus, the overall reaction speed of a 1GHz G4 is sluggish, on winXP wiht a amd 1GHz, or in what apple would compare, an AMD 1.6GHz is a lot more responsive.

The only thing i can successfully argue is that Apple has put all of the essential computing tasks into their own software and made it work flawlessly with OS X, and they took out all the questions of setting things up and made certain things a lot more enjoyable (reading mail, setting up fax machine, listening and organizing music, printing changing viewing and organizing photos, making a DVD, and even chatting with a webcam or microphone.

alas, i am going to go back to a PC for now to be more productive
