I do all neural net and genetic alogirthm programming on a command line via ssh into *nix servers.
Were Macs faster, or cheaper, then they might have value to me.
But they aren't faster, they aren't cheaper, and having the prettiest server on the rack isn't enough for me.
As a result, while you enjoy your "mp3 stuff", I personally have no use for a Mac.
And that HappyScrappy douchebag isn't even here anymore.
hi martha,
youve obviously clearly determined your values and needs and decided a mac is not the correct solution.
thats fine. i totally respect that.
now my values and needs are somewhat different to yours so whilst neither of us are actually right or wrong, we both form views that differ.
in other words, we're technically, both correct in everything we say (if said sincerely ofcourse).
for me, i just wanted something that was small. that could make music cds, make films (ive gots 10 years worth of home made porn that needed to go on dvd before the tapes wore out

and something that was quick and nice to look at.
i am, however shallow it may be perceived by some, impressed by "cute" design... my mac feels more like a pet. its the sissy side coming out in me , perhaps, but not really, i just like them - does the reason matter?
i just hate unsubstantiated rants and raves involving grossly over-generalised, unspecific, falsehoods.
im certainly also not saying macs are perfect. of course not. but i like it the best. and thats what counts
