Interesting how the Wintel users always complain about the Mac users' fanaticism, yet it's the Wintel users who continually create "Macs suck" threads. . . .

<< Apple vehicles aren't rated in horsepower since it wouldn't be a fair comparison to the other brands of vehicles out there. A 50HP Apple is faster than any other 200HP vehicle. >>



true, true.

Hmm... accessories for the car would come out 3-5 years later than mainstream while proclaming "New for MAC!"

Apple would only drive on 10% of the Wintel roads, but they would own their own super highway with scenery to kill for, and smooth reliable roads. They'd call it Interstate OSX.

Ooh, nice

It'd look like this,, but perform like this. . We'd have cool looking cars sitting in our driveways up on blocks, but end up all taking the bus (made by Microsoft Motors) to work.

They would only run on gas made by Apple, sold at Apple gas stations thru out the USA.

<< Actually, joohang, you wouldn't see that many controls because a Mac car would never allow that much control over the operation of the vehicle by the user. >>



Actually Darwin is open sourced. So I have more control over my mac than I would a Winders machine

Funny thread, just didnt like the original post

<<

<< I'm sicken tire ofPC fanatics that are around me claims the so call "superiority" ofWintel/WinAMD machinesover other platforms. Trying to reasoning with them is a big waste of time.

People like you are just as bad as the people you hate. There are ups and downs of both platforms...only a moron can't see that.
>>




Actually, I use two G3s at work everyday. You're right, PC people that I work with have no problem using a Mac. Only the Mac people are afraid of use PC, are those the morons that you're refering to?
>>



The mac fanatics I know have no problems using an x86 machine. And I think they realize the drawbacks for both architechtures. Of course, they didnt limit themselves to Microsoft Windows either....

As a Mac, pc, sparc, and ultrasparc user, I enjoy laughing at these architectures when the jokes are good (like many of the posts here). Mac mags make fun of x86, x86 mags make fun of Macs (g4 cube tissue holder ), and Microsoft tries to beat Sun. Its all good fun when appropriate

n0cmonkey,


Fair enough. I'm in graphic line of work. Most of the Mac people in this field have major problems with PC in general.

I work in a NOC. Most techs here are UNIX people, and most that I have talked to (even the PC people) were excited about Mac OS X.

if apple made cars:

-all the professional racers would be driving them
-all the daily drivers would b!tch how expensive they are
-the next generation would blow anyone off the road (im talking 64bit g5 baby)

FYI: i have dual p3 800, 350mhz powerbook g3 and one ultra sparc.

im sure that 800mhz g4 is quicker that 800mhz p3. Theres huge difference whether you use altivec or not

<< When you run out of gas, the dashboard turns into a sad Mac. >>


lol...this one isn't even that funny, but for some reason I literally lol'ed when I read it(which is odd,cuz I almost never do that when I'm online)

Oh, and to all you mac supports, just go away if you can't laugh along. This thread is just for fun, to make people laugh. So quit whining and moaning about the comments people are making.
