[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]A computer is only a 'piece of shit' if it is absolutely worthless. I can and do use the Macintosh to get real-world work done and if I had to, I could conceivably use it as a primary computer. Can I do web surfing? Firefox works fine. Can I view videos and listen to music? VLC works fine. Can I write programs and develop software to do things? Xcode was available and Lazarus/Free Pascal work on it. Can I write documents and work on spreadsheets? Open Office is available for Power PC Macs. Can I edit vector images? Inkscape is available for PowerPC Mac and it works. Even DOS box runs on it. So shut your yap, you have no idea what you're talking about. All you're doing is showing your incompetence. You don't have to use it, you didn't have to buy it, you didn't pay for it, you don't have to see it, you don't have to write programs for it, and you have no background, experience, or knowledge to even be able to express an opinion about it any more than you can seriously express an opinion about Mandarin Chinese. How much time have you spent working on a Desktop PowerPC Mac with the latest software stack of usable applications to do real-world work? I suspect it hovers at zero. [/quote]
