Administrators, moderators, and users are pretty much ignoring my attempts to improve the general appearance of 64Digits by making a reward for good grammar and spelling. More on this in future blogposts.</fieldset>Yeah, so my mom signed me up for this class that teaches teachers how to use iMovie to make movies, because she heard I could get college credit for it. I already know iMovie because of previous experience from the eighth grade (remind me sometime to upload the video I took…pure hilariousness), but I thought that having some college credits before I even get to college has to be a good thing, so I agreed to it. Right before the class starts (8AM this morning), my mom tells me that she was wrong; I'm actually getting <i>high school</i> credits. I'm cool with that, the less actual school classes I have to take, the better. Plus, iMovie is incredibly easy. So I go to the first day of the class, and it turns out that I'm not eligible for high school credits either, because I'm only a freshman (going to be a sophomore)! So I say "what the hell" and take the class anyways. It's something to do.Anyways, after spending four and a half hours in front of a Mac OS X computer, I'm…<font size=1>thinking about buying one.</font>Yeah, I know. I'm thinking about getting a Mac. Shoot me. But first, did you know:<ul><li>Mac OS X is UNIX-based, and has bash and such in it?</li><li>Macs come with <i>barrels</i> of free software</li><li>Macs come with GarageBand, one of the coolest programs on Earth</li></ul>Yeah, those aren't really that many reasons, but meh. I'm not becoming a Mac fanatic or anything, I just want to try something new.So yeah, let the flaming commence.And because you're all flaming me about that, feel free to ignore the following news tidbit: <a href="http://64digits.com/games/index.php?cmd=view_game&id=860" target=_blank>the editable TOPDOWN I released a couple of days ago</a> has had over fifty downloads, only one non-takua108 comment, and zero ratings? What's wrong, are you all on a gag order or something? Jeez.Also, admins, the comment I posted on TOPDOWN today was posted a.) from a Mac, b.) using the shitty web browser Safari, and c.) during a minor outage of my school's network. Therefore, I had to re-submit the comment, thus erroneously resulting in the comment count being upped by two, even though there's only one comment. So…meh.The class will take up my mornings for the rest of the week, so, associates of mine, I will be away for large portions of time (both for the class itself and to make up sleep lost by the class).<b>[EDIT.01]</b> Also, the PM system is broken. I can't see any message contents.<b>[EDIT.02]</b> Ignore EDIT.01; I didn't see the front page.
I won't flame you. I've used Macs before and they are very easy to use, but there's definitely a lot more (and better) software available for Windows. E.g. Game Maker.
*BANG*
Do you like computer games? Dont expect to be playing them on a Mac.
I've used Mac OS X, its the only mac I've ever liked…
I used to have a mac, except I did a voice-match thing and I guess my voice changed a bit and it won't let me log in now. I think I gave it away or something…
Macs are pretty cool, just less compatible. There's TONS of cool software that comes with them, too. When you but a mac you get a free random game. There's a dinosaur game (it's cool, collecting eggs, there's tons of different guns you can get) and a prehistoric racing thing, which looked weird. Those are the onl two I know of…Anyway, if you go to a mall of someplace, they sometimes have Apple stores full of Mac software. Kewlz.That's exactly what I was saying, Hootie and Hali (lol). I'm considering buying a Mac OS X machine, but not as my primary machine; just for fun. Like my Mandrake Linux partition on the computer I have now; just for fun.
hth can you afford a Mac OS X? Its insanly around $2k…
Buy a randomly shutting down machine for fun? lmao
Kaz: I'm pretty sure OS X doesn't shut down randomly. I've used it for four hours today, and uncountable hours in middle school…I do agree that Mac OS 1.x-9.x blows massively, but that's no reason to put OS X into the same category. It was rewritten from scratch and is based on UNIX now. Meaning it has a bash prompt. That alone improves its coolness considerably.
