I wonder what the difference is between Chinese plastics/chemicals and the stuff everyone else uses... hmmmmmm absolutely nothing? A lot of factories outside China use Chinese plastics.


The Chinese have been known to STILL use lead in their "environmentally" friendly plastics....
A series of children toys sold in Norway (and probably the rest of the world too) was containing lead...
In Norwegian (sadly)
Some of these products are made in china.... My kid sister has some of those plastic animals shown on picture 5... made in china....

You clearly hate the mac and its users.
However, have you ever tried a mac?
Most mac users on this site is or was hardcore amigans back in the day, and some still are.

But to my point. I stopped using amiga in 1999 when i bought a pc. my first pc. Today i have a relatively good pc. It can do most jobs a mac can do. with a similar result.
But the mac cannot play the same games as a windows machine can. (with a few exceptions)...
However.
At a job i had at a youth center, there was a mac.
It was purely purchased for video editing purposes.
I am not going into details. However.
Seeing how the icon of my usb pendrive showed up on the desktop.
I got a sudden flashback to my good old amiga days.
My guess is the mac os is as close as you ever will get to a modern os running on modern hardware. and still being developed...
Sadly, it cannot run amiga software. If it could. i would convert in a heartbeat. disregarding the prices completely..
other than that. i don't really like the mac os. mostly because i have not familiarized myself with it...
And i have no use of it...
But i respect it.
