Perchance do you also think a Kia is a perfectly good car?


Would you pay 25% more than everyone else for a Kia if it was badge Kia by Apple? I think so  :rofl:



LOL, What do you think Audi drivers do?



This thread has prompted me to sort out my i-boot and get OS-X 10.6 running on my Core i5, 4gb Ram, 320gb HDD Dell.  That cost £600.

Wow Goblin, that font screenshots was the worst thing to post. The windows one looks 10x better, the mac one looks like I took my glasses off.

And it seems everyone else agrees.


No it was the worst thing to post because its a fu;>&ng font for crying out loud, it makes me cry a tear of jesus that people actually give that much of a rats ass about something so trivial when there are so many better things to do.

Besides youre missing the point, its all about the rendering speed, can you guess how many times faster macs render fonts?

Theyre not crisper, they have no sub-pixel hinting, making it much harder to read, especially long passages.


Its that kind of talk which puts many people off of macs and apple I think...telling non-mac users why they are wrong and how it should be. Im sorry, I dont need to be told that the PC font is much harder to read etc...I can see for myself...and I can see clearly that if I was told to read a 30 page document on a computer, I would choose the latter of the option, knowing full well that if I tried it with the first option Id get half way through and have to stop. To most people, they dont give a toss about sub-pixl hinting or any other thing that makes next to sod all practical difference and actually looks like a step backwards, they just want to get the job done.

I reckon that would be three times as fast.
