How many of us are mac users?

Post here if you're a mac user! (Then we can band together and defeat those stinkin' PCs!)

Not me, though I see myself potentially converting to macs after my PC kicks the bucket (which it'd better not do until after I graduate!

).

Macs are #1 on college/university campuses.

I think that says enough.

I'm a Mac user.

I would be a Mac user, but unfortunately, I do not have my own computer.

I've been a Mac user since the summer of 2006. iMac G5 from 2006-2008 and MacBook Pro from 2008-Present. $\:D/$

Pick me! Pick me! Yes, I have a 13 in. White MacBook, and have owned 3 iPods, all of which I have loved dearly (except maybe the one I haven't opened yet, but I don't have time).

I'm on a mac right now. I'm getting a macbook aluminum in the mail any day now for college. $\:D/$

I've been a Mac (or Apple) user for more than 20 years. $\:D/$

I'm currently on a 17" Aluminum PowerBook G4. Not that it's any different than the one I've always been on since joining here, but I figured I'd restate it anyway.

Macs pwn all! $\:D/$
I have an iMac, but that new Macbook Air looks extremely tempting...

I have a Macbook and a desktop PC that doesn't really count because I built it (so, naturally, it works excellently.

)

Mac rocks! Down with PC! Has anyone noticed that in one of the latest commercials the only argument that PC has against Mac is that Macs cost more? *

plays funeral dirge* I think that says it all!

Yes, I'm a Mac user! $\:D/$ Just purchased a new iMac. Waiting eagerly for it to come.

I wouldn't mind having one, but they're too expensive for me to justify buying one.

If/when I get a laptop I'm definitely going to consider getting one simply because they're pretty good as far as doing graphic design goes..

Yeah..

And as far as safety goes >_>.

..Yeah, and I've never had a virus in the ~11 years my family have a computer.. Actually noone in my family ever has..

Trent DeWhite · Post by **Trent DeWhite** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:22 pm

Viruses can be avoided on PCs provided the user knows what to look out for and how to avoid them.

Random crashes and freezes, on the other hand, are not as easily preventable and will remain a part of the overall PC experience.

J-man · Post by **J-man** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:27 pm

I think I have an aura of computer workingness, because I don't generally have random crash/freeze problems (or any problems that aren't easily fixed, really). The only time I do have problems, it's definitely not an OS problem *growls at firefox*

Edit: ..and I don't want this to turn into a mac vs. pc argument. Carry on with the original topic. $\:D/$

Iron and Light · Post by **Iron and Light** » Fri Jun 05, 2009 10:35 pm

Yeah.. the random crashes and freezes really are the pits, though.

And for some reason, Windows computers just seem to be worse where security is concerned. I had a very old Mac, and it never had a virus, even though a 'friend' of ours removed essential components and everything (not to mention, we never had a firewall or anything

). Yet, take my Vista- I have multiple different firewalls, antiviruses, and everything else under the sun... yet it crashes about once every six months, freezes weekly, just got over DNS poisoning, and has also had a Trojan horse virus $\:D/$ .
