Title: Evilbore Exclusive: Drinky buys a Mac :( :( :(
Post by: Van Cruncheon on September 13, 2006, 11:42:19 PM
Our good pal TVC-15 sold me his 17" Core Duo iMac (2GB RAM, Radeon 1600XT) for a cool K so he could pay the sales tax on some quad-core Mac Pro monster, and I have installed it downstairs. I feel the general uselessness and frivolity of OS X radiating from it, yet I am attracted, not repelled. I am questioning my staunch Windowsexuality. Help!  :-[

Yes!  Another Macsexual has joined the fold.  Don't you just feel better than the dirty PC poors?  Do you feel the power of FreeBSD bursting between your legs?

I do most of my dev work on my windows desktop, but just got a macbook to tote around for email/etc.  Personally I'm digging it, but I definitely wouldn't switch completely; for instance I can't watch 90% the Mormon porn torrents I d/l, which is a total bummer.  Perfect for a laptop though...

Hey, I still own a PC that'll shame all yours -- with maybe the exception of millionaire boy there! It's still my main rig and the destination of my heart's yearning :heartbeat

Mac OS X as a casual experience isn't bad at all. On the other hand, as a computer professional, I'm frustrated by how embedded and arcane access to real system statistics and options are -- I wound up finding the Terminal and hacking around from the FreeBSD prompt (ah, the Unix-esque life, it's good to be back.) It's certainly not an OS for those who've made computers their business and lifestyle, although it isn't unusable. It's like night and day over my LAST Mac experience, which was under the well-nigh unusable OS 9 -- how Macfags EVER hyped that Win3.1 grade piece of shit is beyond me. True multitasking when they FINALLY got it in 2002 musta blown their little idiot minds.

My wife, on the other hand, likes that all the shit *she* cares about is RIGHT THERE -- the browser, the weather report, iTunes, the DVD playback, the aquarium screensaver -- without the need to dredge around a bit in various menus.

Capping off the seal of faggotry would probably be something like joining a frat.

Drinky, within the next month, Codeweavers CrossOver should release, which emulates winapi and directx.  The current beta runs steam and Source engine apps with no problems whatsoever.  Soon you won't even have to virtualize Windows to use its apps.
