I do wonder how this has all effected poor Bean, you guys should be ashamed of deeply offending her on a personal level.

Nige has already told me he plans to come round and kick you all in the nuts!  

I think this (NSFW) is more appropriate given the amount of handbags and hissing in this thread.

Carnivorous plants its religion it seems. (dont ask).

You mean there are sectarian divisions between Venus Fly Traps and Bedfordshire Wart Moss Gobblers?  :shock:

FWIW I think the keyboard on the £1200 Macbook pro isnt fit to grace a £300 Acer laptop.

Nah, its the old chestnut of creationism. On a certain newsgroup Im on every now and again someone voices their views on it and suddenly theres about 30 people all ranting and raving about creationism/fanatacism etc. Things like carnivorous plants being animals and Darwin being a heathen etc ><

People go to war over national disputes and terrorism attacks, not whether Apple or Microsoft is better. Its stupid.

Oohhhhhhhhhhhh. So thats what Afghanistan is about, I thought it was because it was where MS was producing Win 7?!

Seriously, Im the youngest person on this forum, and even I think youre squabbling like immature dicks.

Beans, Macs are for retards who cant use PCs to uplink pictures from their ups cameras to print on their hifi printers but want to impress everyone with a cool thing that matches the colour of their ipod. They dont care that the one button mouse is a stubbornly retarded design flaw, they dont care that theyre sh*t on a ms network, they dont care that behind the shiny surface of the OS all the systemy tasks are a pain in the arse, because emails on a mac are of a much higher standard than on a PC and Lady Gaga MP3s sound way better and ooh, look how good it looks on my coffee table everyone, look!

Thats why itll take you a while to get to grips with. They kind of make sense in a 6yr-kids-logic kinda way and theyre fine to use.

Thats why I have a 1st BSc in Applied Computing then?

Strange, my MBP supports one, two, three and four finger clicks and gestures, making it much more usable than a two or three button trackpad.

they dont care that theyre sh*t on a ms network

Correct, because Im not on an MS network, but several of my friends are and have no issues

they dont care that behind the shiny surface of the OS all the systemy tasks are a pain in the arse

Examples?

In other words they are easy to use and that makes them worse?

I had an IBM keyboard once, it was the best keyboard i ever used, it lasted about 10 years
