Any Mac users?
« on: March 11, 2011, 11:15:10 AM »
I need to replace my computer at the house, it is mainly just used for internet usage and pic storage.  Occasional games of Starcraft I and II when I feel like getting my ass kicked by a Korean. 

Is anybody on here a mac user?  I was wondering about getting a Mac mini.  Is it worth it to pay the extra $500 for an iMac or Macbook.  My wife and I both have laptops from work, but we just need something to put some personal pics, work, docs on.

You meet a man on the Oregon Trail. He tells you his name is Terry. You laugh and tell him: "That's a girl's name!" Terry shoots you. You have died of dissin' Terry.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

Could you not use a cloud based storage deal like Dropbox?

2GB free, or 50-100 GB's depending on what you're willing to pay a month.   I use it.  Can access my files from any device I'm on that gets online.

Mini's aren't bad little machines.  I would love to have a PowerMac, MacPro, whatever they call it now, but not dropping that much coin on a machine.  A Mini with a nice NAS ($150) and you can have a nice little setup.

EDIT: Uncle Sani will hate this post.

I also like the Mac OS a lot better than Windows, it's a Darwin based kernel, but then again, I used to be a UNIX admin and I hate Microsoft with the burning fury of a thousand suns.

For now my data storage is getting moved to the cloud.  But I'm having hardware issues at home and just need a new puter.  Have never had a mac anything before and was just thinking about what to get.  Have thought about a Hackintosh but don't know if I want to get that involved to save a $100.

Your own hallucination football crew is necessary to outscore compared to additional clubs. Players often wear Casey Hampton jerseys

Just keep in mind compatibility. If you already have a ton of windows compatible shit, you might not like it much. If you constantly have to use, word, excel, or whatever - might not be the best idea.

Office for Mac has always been compatible using MS Office and even Open Office.

Then you're good. Some people don't think about that.
