Smerf,
I suppose I used to feel that way about macs, especially pre osx macs. I thought pre osx macs were the biggest piles of **** ever.
What? No multitasking? Come on man, even windows did that in 1992. (of course amiga did this in 1985!
Back to macs...
The hw was fast enough to multitask but the os was such a pile of ****. I used to laugh at the idiots paying huge money for them.
I have to say though, the HARDWARE of the models they made for osx are beautifully made. Osx though? Not a fan, used linux for years to me its retarded someone paying such huge money to basically run a prettied up linux distro. (I know its not based on linux but its so similar its funny)
If you actually look at the enginnering, the construction of a powermac g4, mac mini, cube g4 and even the g4 emacs, you see they are pretty well made. Myself? I like the hw, but think osx is bloated and over hyped. Take that hw and put morphos on it, and I think its a good reason to buy that nice hw...
