I've been seriously considering getting a Mac, since I just recently found out that GM is compatible with it, and that aside from making games in Game Maker, all I do is type documents and edit videos. Does anyone else here in the community use a Mac? I've always enjoyed their design but have avoided getting one because I thought that Mac's couldn't run GM, and that would have destroyed me.
…Now I wonder if Google Chrome is Mac compatible…Just checked, yes it is.Now I really want one. Buy me an iMac 27", 64D!As always I love you guys.Feel free to argue Macs vs. PC's below, if you like. I'm a fan of both :)
I'm not a fan of Mac mice. The design's cool except for the fact that getting something small caught under the mouse will prevent you from clicking.
For you Windows-only users, the whole mouse is the button. And yes, it is capable of right-clicking. Not ideal, but capable.I can't stand the fancy mac mice. If my inputs aren't explicit, everything is too vague. Luckily, the U in USB stands for Universal, not "Windows Only".
Thanks for reminding me.
The USB ports in most Mac keyboards refuse to accept flash drives. Some work, but most don't. It's pretty inconvenient, I have to say.I'll keep my Razer Orochi over an actual mac mouse for my macbook, thanks.
mac mice blow. its another example of apple's elitism, thinking that their stuff is the best regardless of what everyone says.
I dont like most apple products, but what they do have is good support, efficient design (especially with batteries), and a nice OS. And that it is simple, which wouldnt apply to me because its too simple that its actually complicated for me.Hey, maybe I like overcomplicating things.
I keep reading comments where people state that OSX is "powerful" or "good"… How exactly is it better than Windows 7 or [insert preferred linux distribution here]? I have yet to see a decent argument in support of it. I mean I guess if you never use third party software it can be alright. About 75% of the software I use has no Mac support. I'm not one to use obscure software either.
Also, didn't Apple start selling OSX as a standalone operating system a while back? Or was I imagining things?In addition: I can't speak for new Macs, but my friend got a Mac a few years ago and dual-booted it with Windows XP. He had nothing but trouble with XP, as Boot Camp wouldn't allow him to do a lot of things in it, such as update video drivers. Though he still used Windows almost exclusively, despite him giving his XP partition very little space. He originally intended to use the OSX partition most of the time while using XP for games. He didn't stick to that plan.I recently watched a couple people debate on whether Macs were superior at design or not. The one defending Macs couldn't come up with anything decent to defend her side.
That said, the only area I think Macs are superior in is virus security, because nobody targets OSX, because of how unlikeable it is. It says so here in their file. Unlikable. Liked by no one. A bitter, unlikable [trash] whose passing shall not be mourned. That's exactly what it says. Very formal. Very official.
