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.
My favorite part about the mac was not being able to shut it down. Removing that battery brought a euphoria that cannot be surpassed by any substance. By the way, this is a great site for anyone interested in switching to a Mac.
Who said anything about switching? I said "I'm <b>thinking</b> about <b>buying</b> a Mac OS X machine. Easy.
If I ever do blog about <b>switching</b>, send someone to my house to assasinate me instantly. equa_olien knows where I live.Polystryene, I know what you mean. That's my favorite FEATURE on a Mac.
Personally, I find Macs harder to use, and find them less user friendly, and I find that they don't make much sense. Yes, it does come with Garage Band, which is a cool program, but meh. And Mac OS X's do tend to have network errors a lot.
And I forgot to mention that they have the crappiest mice and keyboards ever devised.It sounds like no one has clicked on this link yet. It's very...er... informative
Seen it.
To me, the single most retarded thing about a Mac is that instead of being able to right-click, they only come with one mouse button, but in order to do normal right-click-menu features, you have to <i>control-click</i>. At least they have the brains to make it so that if you plug in a Windows mouse USB-style it allows for the right mouse button to act as a control-click. But if that works, why don't they make one-button mouses in the first place?!
Style. Two-mouse buttons look nerdy, and Mac wants to be trendy. They don't even have a scroll wheel! They're fighting evolution… kind of like Internet Explorer.
