Which do you prefer to use? A Windows OS or a Mac? Is it true that Mac is better than Windows?

jstevewhite These sorts of discussions always bring a lot of misconceptions out of the woodwork. Apples are now running Intel processors and generally off-the-shelf hardware. Their big advantage is that Apple knows exactly what hardware will ship with their OSX, and they...

jstevewhite I've bought several refurbished apple products from their website. They all come with the same standard warranty as a 'new' part, and I've had no problem with them at all. I bought a Mac mini, an iPod mini, and a 30gb iPod from their refurbished store. I say...

jstevewhite Again, it's worth noting that the characterization of Macs as 'graphics computers' is not inaccurate, but understatement. They can do anything you want to accomplish. I would definitely say that Apple has a distinct advantage in all creative fields (music,...

jstevewhite When I see an answer like this, I jsut have to ask, "Better compatibility with what?" It's a tough statement to support, nowadays, since Windows computers can run Windows, or Linux, or *BSD, while Macs can run Windows, Linux, or *BSD *and* Macintosh OS X....

jstevewhite Just a point - you say you've used Intel based computer for a long time with fewer compatibility issues than Apple. It's worth noting that Apple computer are now (for a couple of years now) Intel-Based systems. They can run Windows or Linux natively as well as...

jstevewhite I've got a few Apple computers, including a Macbook Air. I really like them, and OSX is the best general purpose operating system I've ever used. I'm a systems engineer, and I support Unix systems and routers and firewalls and the like, and the fact that OSX...

jstevewhite Heh - I'm an old fart when it comes to computers. I started back when "building your own computer" meant you had to own a soldering iron and wire wrap tool. My dad and I built a computer based on the 8080a intel chip that used toggle switches to control...

jstevewhite Wow, that's funny. I've had several dogs, but our latest (that we adopted three or four months ago) is the very first one I've had that's really scared of storms. She follows me around looking all sad and scared the whole time it's storming. She will come into...

jstevewhite Run like crazy. If he's with you and making these confessions, he's playing games. You shouldn't allow him to manipulate you with past relationships. It's possible I'm overstating the case, but I will give you this bit of advice as a man who's heard his...

Do you ever start having a discussion with someone only to realize that they have already discounted anything you are going to say? I hate this. I hate when someone is too stubborn to acknowledge other viewpoints. I am not saying...

jstevewhite Politicians hire people to develop their positions in a statistical fashion for the demographic they're facing at the moment. So they express their stance according to the numbers. For example, if I know that, say, 85% of the people in my district support a...

jstevewhite Wow, it's hard to take that kind of response, I know, but honestly I've been on both sides of that fence. I'm a computer guy (a systems engineer) by trade, and sometimes when I get into discussions with people about technology, they can say things that clearly...
