Harry, I know some people that are Mac addicts. They

other system.
Software issues aside .... are there any claims or evidence
that
Mac hardware is better ... more reliable .... longer lasting

etc. than the typical CPUs and components used in PCs?
Eisboch
I don't see how that could be, as the main ingredients are
pretty
much the same quality, and depend more on price. If you buy
certified memory, you are getting something that may be better
than
uncertified memory. The drives are the same, the cpu's are the
same, the ergonomics are a lot different.
The CPU's are the same?
Just goes to show how ignorant I am about computers. Last I
knew,
Apple had their own CPU's.
Eisboch
Intel is now making Apple CPUs.
Well, isn't *that* special.
So, what's the difference between a Mac running Windows (I've read
that it can) and a PC running Windows?
Eisboch
Eisboch, With all the problems everyone has been having with Vista,
I
can understand why someone would want to buy a Mac.
"Everyone" isn't having "problems" running VISTA, but I can
understand
how some might have problems running VISTA or XP or 98 or Tiger or
Leopard or MS-DOS or even an alarm clock.- Hide quoted text -

Yeah, the only people that seem to be having trouble with Vista are,
well, everybody except Harry and JimH!

Correct......because (as I stated several times already) our
computers run WinXP. It is my son who has VISTA on his laptop. The
laptop was built to run VISTA. I asked him just the other day (he
is home till the 19th) is he has run into any problems and his answer
was "no".

The 3 main problems folks are having with VISTA a

1. Some hardware is not compatible with the system.
2. Computers running the system with inadequate memory.
3. Folks upgrading to VISTA rather than running a clean install.

Got it?
Actually there are many more problems than that.

Got it?

If you do not run that OS why are you so obsessed with it?

BTW: Add Scottie to the list of folks running VISTA with no problems.
You need to reread my comment, I NEVER said no one is using Vista
without any problems.
You need to reread my comment. I never said you did.

When you played with your son's computer you noticed it did not seem to
run as fast as you expected it to run and wanted to tweak it. That is a
very common complaint.
Yep. Same with Dell computers running WinXP. Dell has a bunch of
programs running in the background that only eat up resources.
Disabling them makes the computer run faster. Heck, even my 12 year old
nephew knows that.

I don't obsess about Vista, but I also would not recommend anyone
install and/or buy it if they have another option.

You *are* indeed obsessed with it Reggie. Got it?
I am bored with you, goodbye.

Got it?

What I get is that you suddenly get bored once you are on the losing end of
a discussion.

snerk :)
