bloody000:
nice flaming.

ZOMG you got the lion king's wife as your icon.
Why?
Anyways Mac would be great@geoffreak if only it weren't over-priced faulty hardware that dies after 2 years of use.
Maybe you should tell all my IT friends that they have been going down the wrong path and have been totally blinded by their 4 years of intense computer training. ;)

I will never abandon the PC for such a superficial reason.
Why are you people falling for Apple's marketing ploy?
Apple is gay and will remain gay in the Computer Industry until the day they die.
They have the portable mp3 market. What else do they need? Just give up, Jobs' successor will never beat Gates' entourage of google-esque geniuses. Now they have resorted to bundle pricing and the old peanut gallery trick not to mention gibber goober-gabber gayness galore. (Aka "The 5 G's of Gay:) among the uber-l33t techie crowd.)

Well you can't say that all Macs are universally faulty and fail easily - I personally have one from 1993 that's still running like new :P In addition to that, I have 3 or 4 other post-2000 Macs that have all been under extremely heavy use and still work fine to this day. It's not uncommon for design studios and the like to be using PowerMac towers that are several years out of date.
In other words, they're generally pretty durable, but there's a few lemons in each batch.
Also, if you ask me, any IT guys that want to ensure they have a future should reach outside of their MSCE certification and become capable of maintaining *NIX machines. Windows might not be king in the corporate ring forever.

At my college they require students to take classes on Linux. Since a growing number of businesses are already abandoning Windows Server in favor of Linux solutions like Red hat and SUSE.

Macs before the sealed batteries were fine for durability. Now I wouldn't touch an Apple notebook. For a long time I wanted a G4 iBook as a transport for my DAC due to its silent, fanless design.
