Members Sylver Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Well, it looks like it was designed by, well, Apple. Very nice looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dylan Walters Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Like most Apple products this appears to be a very well designed product. I probably won't get one as it's a) $60 and b) I already have a Logitech Wireless keyboard/mouse combo. Still, it looks nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fantasticsound Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Looks nice, but the marketing department needs to get their act together. From the Department of Redundancy Department, perhaps?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jeebus Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Mintbeetle summed this up perfectly in the KB thread: Has anyone else noticed that every new Apple product, no matter how inconsequential, is somehow the bee's knees, world-changing, incredible innovation that only Apple could pull off? WOW, A MOUSE WITH LOTS OF BUTTONS! WELCOME TO 1992! AN MP3 PLAYER WITH MEDIOCRE CAPACITY AND NO DISPLAY, BUT YOU CAN WEAR IT AROUND YOUR NECK! THIS NEW DASHBOARD THING IS MIND-BLOWING, AND IT'S NOTHING AT ALL LIKE THE DESKTOP ACCESSORIES THAT FIRST APPEARED ON MACS 21 YEARS AGO!!!!

The top of the line machines come STANDARD with dual processors, PCI-X slots, firewire 800 and 400 ports ... A stable, smooth OS that comes standard with a photo editor, a video editor, a fully functional DAW/Looping workstation, DVD authoring, kick ass web browser and about a million other features that I won't go into here. A product line that goes from entry level machines a $500 all the way to power user machines and everything in between. Yeah, PCs are certainly much more diverse. They have so many more cool little error messages and crashes. Oh, yeah, gaming software is limited. Playing video games is such a good use of time, how could I not miss all THAT software. I see what you mean about no choices. You know, I've had my Macs for less than 3 months, after being a WINTEL user (and tech and repair instructor and DAW user) since the days of DOS 3.11 and I've not regretted my choice until now. Now, you have made me second guess my choice because the choices in the Mac world are SO limited(I've been using a logictech wheel mouse since the first week I got my Powermac, and it works great in every app, including the app I switched for, MOTU DP). You are obviously more informed than all of us un-technical and ignorant Mac people. I will be selling my Apple on ebay directly, though I will be missing that gorgeous 20 inch cinema display.

Members Guitar Centaur Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Originally posted by Sylver Oh, real mature, you poopiehead! Reported. I'm 45. I'll be reaching "maturity" soon enough. For now, I'd prefer not to act my age. Helps me feel younger. If you have a problem with that, the admins have graciously provided you with an "ignore" function. I suggest you use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylver Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Oh man, and I'm the one without a sense of humor. Do you think I really call people "poopiehead"? Jeez, you old HC people need to lighten up and learn when people are f'ing with you. You all take things too seriously. Sure, I was defending Apple, but there was plenty of tongue in cheek in my post. Oh, and I really didn't report you, though, you DID call me a putz. Though, regrettably, it is probably true. I am also know in some circles a a F***knuckle, but that is generally when I am spouting Apple propaganda. XOXOXOXOXO Sylver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, everyone step away from their comptuers and repeat after me: Computers are just tools, computers are just tools (heh heh, I said tool). Repeat until breathing has returned to normal.

Members Anderton Posted August 2, 2005 Members Share Posted August 2, 2005 Oh boy...Mac vs. PC again. As a public service, here is the final, definitive post that sums up all aspects of this debate: When a Windows computer is working, which is more often than not, it's great. When a Mac computer is working, whicih is more often than not, it's great. When a Windows computer isn't working, which happens more often than we'd like, it sucks. When a Mac computer isn't working, which happens more often than we'd like, it sucks. If you want to use software that runs only on Windows machines, you need a Windows machine. If you want to use software that runs only on Mac machines, you need a Mac machine. You're welcome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
