Anyway, even if Windows suddenly becomes total absolute crap, smothered in viruses and spy/adware, I'm never going to switch to a Mac. It's not that I'm a dedicated Microsoft lover, it's not that I'm stubborn, it's that all the Mac users I know seem to be annoyingly arrogant, and I don't want to be in the same group as them.

That in itself is pretty stubborn Tongue.  There IS a middle ground you know?  I love my macbook pro, but would never trade my AMD64 gaming rig Wink

Basically, I don't like how some Mac users I know act like, "How come Windows is so popular if it's such crap? The Mac is so much better, it should be in Windows's place," and they fail to realize that if the Mac was as popular as Windows is now, it would be suffering a lot of the same problems that Windows has.

Sorry, I know the discussion about this has ended, but I don't like so many people having so many misconceptions.

Linux + Apache powers about 60% of all webservers, making it a much more viable target for virus writers than Windows. Do you see any virus warnings for Linux?

Good community and good OS design go a long way.

im sorry, maybe this is just me, but that's the most arrogant, ignoramatic, stereotypical and somewhat contradictory statement i've ever heard. do you mean to tell me that it's absolutely fine for PC users to be thick-headed and completely closed to the idea of trying/using a Mac (despite the obvious benefits) but it's arrogant for the Mac users you know to defend their choice of OS vigilantly?  Is it okay that you can classify ALL Mac users into one category that you dont wish to become part of?  I think that's absolute crap.

Let me tell you, Hawk is one of the biggest Mac enthusiasts i've ever seen.  Yet for all, i know for a fact that he's also very open minded.  I don't even think i can cound the number of times i've seen him intervene in a thread because all the Mac users are about ready to jump the lone PC user.  Now you're about to set urself up for some SERIOUS flamage and ur calling the Mac users here arrogant?  You might wanna rethink your whole position and ur arguement cus it's completely out of line.

Exactly, I'm surprised he hasn't done it this time already. I've already PMed him correcting him and if you guys choose to do the same that's fine, but this really isn't what the topic is about and Hawk does get really annoyed when people start flaming one another in the forums.

So remember, a PM a day keeps the hulk at bay!

Oh my god I can see the future!!!

I have a question though... Why is mini Hawk with Piro? Isn't he just a figment of Hawk's imagination?! Or some small sentient being who chooses to look like chibi-Hawk...

Hawk is part of every apple.  it's apple's marketing scheeme.  you walk into the apple store, and approch one of their machines.  *POP* out jumps hawk telling you why you should just "Get a Mac" and then displays his... affections to the mac... publicly...  in front of you... in broad daylight...

apple is a sick bunch, aren't they?!

i suspect that Seraphin and Boo were unavailable, Prio's in a serious crisis of cons... consious... (i can't spell that word even enough to get the spell checker to look it up when i right click on it, but you know what i mean) so the CEA had to send someone... miniHawk probably not to best unbiased choice Smiley

I think the chibi-Hawk can be loaned out. Or forced onto someone. Likely forced. The CEA wouldn't use Hawk now, would they? Boo would be a better candidate. Tongue

Think Hawk shoved chibi-Hawk onto Piro last time they met and chibi-Hawk has just been biding his time...
