Post Re: what kind of a computer do you use/own?
I have an old Windows XP which is VERY slow but most things work. I also have an Apple and my dad has a HP computer which runs on a Apple system :lol: . So It didn't cost that much. Take that Apple!!! :lol: And Macs rule By the way. Oh. Did you know that by the end of 2009 there not going to send anymore updates to Windows XP's???? They want you to buy Vista :( . What ever. (sigh)

Why did someone revive this topic :(

Well Windows XP will be celebrating its 8th birthday this summer. He's a strong fellow considering on how fast tech moves he has lasted long and still going strong.

Providing support for more then one operating system must be expensive and most probably stretches resources. Microsoft will most probably be releasing there next operating system at the end of this year so it is obvious that they do not want to support 3 major operating systems.

I don't know why people still complain about vista, it has became has become more reliable then XP.

Yeah, SP 1 fixed up everything but the over use of ram (though I'm yet to be able to download it properly)

I've a Dell Inspiron 1501 laptop, it's about a year and a half old now (got it for x-mas of '07 ) and I love it, my little hole to the world :D

Coincidence! I have a Dell Inspiron 1100, worse than yours lol. It's kinda slow and old, but I get along with it. Arya might be getting a new laptop today, because she says she needs an advanced one for college. So that means she might give me her laptop. :)

Wait, really? If that's true, that is just a tad bit fabulous lol. I take back what I said about Macs.

Give her some leeway, that was two and a half years ago. ;) I'm sure some hacker's invented Apple viruses by now.

I have a 4 or 5 year old Dell XPS. It's slow and it randomly freezes, but it gets the job done.

Lol oh okay, I didn't check when she posted that. :lol: I don't know much at all about Macs.

Lol that sort of sounds like mine, although it doesn't freeze, it overheats and then shuts down. I have to keep my 6-inch personal fan on it to keep it going. It's ironic, here we are, members of a forum who frequently use computers, and they stink! And on the other hand, there are people who barely ever use their computers but have one that's top-of-the-line, new, and expensive. So unfair. :(

My computer has taken on parts of my personality, like getting one-up on everyone in existence. ;)

Hey, what works works. =D Besides, we can use the extra money for other things, like food.

I use my Compaq destop the most. But sometimes I use Macs. I use eMacs in the band room, MacBooks at the local university, iMacs at the local university, and PCs at school. I prefer Macs but they usually aren't availiable when I need them the most. I have a dial-up connection here so it takes me about 5 min. to post a post about this long when it would take me less than a single min. on a Mac or a high-speed computer.

Post Re: what kind of a computer do you use/own?
Sounds like where you live is pretty high-tech =D

I just got a new laptop, as in, today. Before I forget, it's an HP Pavilion. Specs.... 4 GB RAM, 320 GB hard drive, 6 hours and 45 minutes of battery life, built-in webcam, 15.6 inch screen... I needed something small, portable, and powerful for college, so the battery life needed to be pretty good. And I wanted something lightweight but at the same time durable, so this was perfect. Early graduation gift, I guess.

I live where people like high tech things if you go about 30 miles away. I live in a VERY rural area. The university I'm talking about is about an hour away from where I live, but my mom attends so I can get on their computers. XD lol but it's really fun!

Lol I so don't even remember making this topic but

Nope Kotor. Still no virus out there that can crash a mac.... There isn't any viruses for mac's period.
There have been a couple over the years but Apple quickly corrected the problem.

Post Re: what kind of a computer do you use/own?
Well it really depends on what you're using them for.
If you're using your computer for work, school or just for internet access then Mac is definitely the way to go.
But if you're a big time gamer and using your computer mainly for that then you definitely want to go with a PC. Although I would still rather use a brand like Alienware.

Back on topic, I like Macs but I don't own one. I use PCs the most. Mine has a dial-up connection, but I also have Safari for my PC. I got it because I have iTunes and i asked it to tell me when I can get new Apple updates, and it gave me Safari! I use Safari to get on all the forums I'm registered on, including SF. it's faster than Internet with my dial-up connection. It's almost as fast as Safari on Mac. I'm not joking. Anyway, I <3 Macs but use PCs more often. ;)

Hi!
You want a Mac? So do I, but they're so high priced that my family can't afford one. I would love to have a MacBook.

Post Re: what kind of a computer do you use/own?
Oh sorry, I couldn't answer your question because I havent been reading this forum alot lol.

Which computer do I think is better eh?

Too be honest, I'll have to be kinda diplomatic.

Mac is uber-cool. Its design is way cooler than windows and so is its user-interface.

Coming to technology, Windows surpasses Mac as if it were leaves infront of an autumn storm (Quote from Arya or Nasuada lol).

Things that arent possible in Mac are possible in Windows.

Lol I'll be brief with this so I'll post 4 things in which Windows own Mac:

Microsoft has been accused over the years of stealing many of the Mac's features for Windows. But Windows 7 shows that there are things that Apple can learn from Microsoft. Here are four things that Mac OS X can learn from Windows 7.

Windows 7 taskbar

Start off with the new taskbar. Yes, I know that the Windows 7 taskbar has been modeled on the Mac OS X Dock, but Microsoft does it one better. Both the Dock and the Windows 7 taskbar do double duty as task switchers and program launchers. But the Windows 7 taskbar does it better, particularly as a task switcher. When you're running a program, and it's got multiple windows open, you see an indication of how many windows are open. By hovering over the program's icon, you can see thumbnails of every program running. It's simply better than the Dock.

Jump lists


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Related to the new taskbar is the new jump list feature. A jump list is a list of actions or items associated with a particular application. To see a jump list for any application, right-click its icon in the taskbar or in the Most Recently Used Application list on the Start menu. Each jump list's actions or items varies according to the program, but generally you'll see a history list of recently opened files, as well as ways to customize how the application works, such as pinning it to the taskbar. When you right-click an icon in the Mac OS X Dock, you also get a list of items, but they don't include recently used files. Mac OS X should learn from Window 7 and add that feature.

Insane Desktop backgrounds

The choice of Windows 7+ Desktop backgrounds is as strange and bizarrely entertaining group of artwork as you'll come across on a PC. They combine Sergeant Pepper-style psychedelics with Japanese anime, with a healthy dose of Hieronymus Bosch grotesques thrown in. Microsoft, for once, seems to have gone wild and crazy.

In the Mac OS X background, by way of contrast, Apple seems to have discovered its inner nerd. Beach, forest, nature, abstract art...yes, it's all there, and all exceedingly dull. I have no doubt there are plenty of artists at Apple waiting to strut their stuff. Apple should turn them loose.

Network Center

The Windows Network Center isn't new to Windows 7--- it's been around since Vista. But it was one of the best things about Vista, and remains one of the best things about Windows. It brings together every setting and option you can imagine about networking -- much superior to the Internet & Network section of Mac OS X's System Preferences. And the Network Map, which shows a live, graphical map of your network, is great as well. Apple should steal it.

The rivalry will continue till they both die lol. It depends. Today you find the Mac OS X better. Tomorrow you'd like tyhe latest version of Windows.

Personally I prefer Windows because it helps me in many things I do that I wouldnt be able to do on Mac.

And there are so many apps that cannot work on a Mac but can easily work on Windows simply because of the fact that Windows is older than Mac.

lol. Hope you choose well before buying any computer just becasue it looks good or it seemsthat it cannot get infected by a virus or something similar.

I've got it too, but does it come with the actual computer B4 you download it and store it in there taking up loads of space? No, I didn't think so.

LOL! I have both a desktop and a laptop. The laptop I've been using for almost a yr and I have gotten so used to mobility, I hardly ever use the desktop anymore.
Besides, the desktop has Vista as its OS, while the laptop has WindowsXP, and I feel a lot more comfortable with XP than Vista.
Vista is a pain in the neck! Or maybe I just like XP because I think I know my way around it a lot better than Vista!

@AnnieBee: I've got XP. I like it, but I have always liked whatever Macs have better.
@Shade-of-Red: Yes, I compress my files. I have a lot of stuff in a small amount of space and still have room for more.

I have Vista home basic, as i said in my last post. My dad says he'll get me Ultimate for Christmas. Or even allow me to download Windows 7 off the website. At least it's better than my load o' rubbish. LOL :lol:

Anyway, my computer is acting up. Random pop-ups that should have been blocked, pop-ups when we click the Start menu. Ugh, it's starting to get annoying.

What web browser do you have? Because if you are using Internet Explorer, that's what usually happens.

I have been using Mozilla Firefox for about four and a half years and I LOVE IT! It's very user friendly and blocks pop-ups in a 98%.

I also do have a good security system which helps a lot!

I have a Toshiba laptop and I really lucked up on finding it on sell. I bought it for about $250 off the regular price at wal-mart. It works great, though I really get a lot of pop-ups now and again. That's okay, though! :D

My dad recently updated a Toshiba laptop of his that I used before I got a eMac in my room. The Toshiba is a bit faster because it got switched from Windows to Linex but it is like so slow and crashes occasionally (well more like every 20 minutes...). Basically if the computer is at it's worst it will be almost done loading something which took 5 min and then the app will crash. Then it won't work until 10 min later it has finished recovering if it does at all. Sometimes it crashes when I try to turn it off which is really ridiculous :roll:

Never saw this!! Laptop, Sony Vaio running MS Vista Home with a whole boatload of built in RAM.

It runs faster on Avast than McAFee, I recommend switching to all Vista users as it speeds Vista WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYY up.

I know a guy who still runs Win 98 (Ekim). Never gets a virus, either, as no one makes them for that system anymore.
