Oberon I meant it is what I know a windows PC I wasn't trying to stir up any prejudice about either one I thought the original joke was funny that I posted. You are going to get different opinions about them no matter where you go some people really love them I understand that they are just not my thing I hope you took no offense to it. But I have come across some MAC users that are "smug" about them they just don't want to know anything about PCs or other alternatives out there. It falls under the thing of branding take cars you have die hard Ford guys like me that wouldn't tough a Chevy not that there aren't nice ones out there they just aren't my brand same thing with computers PCs are what I know.
As I said Oberon No offense towards you or the other MAC users.
I appreciate that bikebum1975 - thanks.
And I DO know what you mean about smug Mac users.
I've been treated like a Leper in some Mac stores because I dared to ask if Macbooks came in a colour other than white (this was a couple of years ago).
My friend - who used to help me with my PC - loved nothing more than 'souping' up his PC, adding newer sound cards, video cards,
RAM etc. He loved it. I used to think that 50 years ago he would have been the guy with his head under the hood of a hot-rod.
I just didn't know what I was doing and it drove me crazy.
So, - best of luck to you and enjoy your machine.
Cheers.

Apologies Oberon, I didn't mean you're smug in any way.
I have several friends who have macs, and they love them. One of them though is one of those chest beating mac fanatics who drives me insane with his told you so attitude.
Thanks again for the info you sent over, I'll definitely investigate some more next time I'm in the market for a new machine.
Thanks Nicola, (Geez, I'm getting all teary-eyed).
And I thought you were a 'hot-rodder' kind of guy, bikebum1975
No worries Nicola I never thought the joke would start such a heated argument.
And DB yeah I guess Dodges are ok. LOL
yeah, I am in process of doing a dual boot with win xp and win vista..pain in the ass trying to get all drivers in. friend talked me into getting win vista 64-sucks for drivers.
Yes computers can drive you nuts but they are fun to mess around with.
Welcome to the forum
thanks.. glad to be here, its awesome to know i can get computer answers here..
You can get all kinds of answers here. Whether or not you want them sometimes too!! LOL
Anyone have a due date on them?
You may get answers about computers here, but we're no experts. Seems we'd have better answers about sex, which is infinitely more fun.
I didn't know Transformers 2 was coming out. Excellent!
The first one was a very good surprise.
I had a problem with downloading my 'Trend Mirco Internet Security' for 2009. It locked me out of a game I have played for 8 years. Trends on-line help tried for hours to fix it. We shut off everything - one at a time. Nothing worked. Finally, they said to un-install 2009 and 2008 and re-install 2008.
It worked. But it has a Pain to do.
Till I get an answer back from Trends, I will not install the 2009 version, just pay to keep the updates going.
Food for thought.
