Windows is buggy and slow lets buy a Mac

you may not like them but without intel and microsoft computing would be nowhere near what it is today.

Decided to edit the hell out of my diatribe. "Computing" in general terms absolutely sucks today, especially the experience that is the internet and it's only getting worse. You can have it!

M$ and Intel were/are the catalyst for the mainstream to have taken computing down the over commercialized and mediocre state it's in. As time marches on, I'm taking less and less of an interest in modern "computing" and the Internet as a whole.

Why have plain vanilla when there's FRENCH vanilla? lmao!

As succinctly as I possibly can, when it comes to general purpose "computing" (word processing, photo editing, e-mail, database storage, internet), I want the system, hardware and OS to get the f@ck out of my way. I just want it to work and work well. Like my automobiles. You should just turn them on and go. This is why I prefer Mac's.

If I wanted to constantly be messing around with hardware and software configs all day long, worried if my latest purchase is going to be compatible or not, it'll be in the form of a hobby that is much more fun and gratifying to me. Enter the Amiga.

I've heard of Ubuntu, but don't know a thing about it. Sounds like an OS of sorts.

One thing I forgot to mention to the OP is that Mac's are no longer as impervious to the crap phenomena of mainstream computing since the change to Intel CPU's. And for those of us that purposely bought a G5 at the very end, during the transition, I can tell you that OSX support ala Leopard SUCKED. For the first time as a Mac user, I felt as if I had been duped "upgrading" my computer. 10.5 slowed it down big time and felt bloated and unnecessarily glitzy. Snow Leopard (the fix) isn't even available for PowerPC users!! Also, iTunes has been "evolving" and becoming ever slower with each and every update. I don't know what the 'engine' is called now that they're using, but it absolutely sucks on my 2.1GHZ G5. You'd hit a button and there's literally a noticeable 'lag' time before the feature kicked in! Starting with version 8 or maybe 9 it was (I forget). I purposely went back to using 6 or 7 on ALL my Mac's because of how crappy and sluggish iTunes now is. Seems as if we're being forced to go Intel, but what a crap deal. As a long term Mac user, I can tell you one of the major benefits of using Mac was the fact we got a LOT of mileage out of our machines comparatively. Not so true today. And for what reason? To keep up with all the bloatware, ads and God knows what else?? This is what I mean when I rip on modern computing today. What I'm observing is beyond planned obsolescence and seems utterly greedy and unnecessary to me as a computer user. Being forced and ushered into the new computing world order sucks!

Windoze is buggy and slow, and my 2.1ghz G5 is quickly becoming that way too. Hello MacMini and MorphOS!
