Do Mac People Tick You Off?

[Ishmum]

I am really tired of Mac people talking how their macs are infinitely better than windows PCs, how they have OSX and App Store, etc etc

What else bothers YOU about these people?

No because every user is different. Windows users who go on and on about its "advantages" annoy me just as much. Ditto Linux users.

I just shrug it off, most Mac users don't realize recently there were 600 thousand botnet Macs.

Only the Ignorant ones.

Like the kid on facebook who was like: I continue to be amazed by how good my new Mac is! I can Stream 1080p videos!

I get annoyed when they go "My Mac Never Crashes!!! My windows PC had BSODs all the time!!!"

I feel like they need a slap in the face, most windows errors are caused by the users themselves.

How about this---A mac person told me their mac had a "Plastic Thing Less" DVD drive LOL

And I replied-- "Umm my Acer' got a slotless Bluray Drive"
The. they went--"Still, my mac is from Apple and it will never catch a virus"

I don't argue that my MacBook Pro is infinitely better than a Windows PC because I know it is.

Anyway, attempted trolling aside, I actually don't argue that the Macintosh platform is superior to Windows at all. Both platforms have their advantages and disadvantages. I have both a Mac and a Windows system. I personally like OS X and iOS because of the user interfaces and the overall user experience. I think it also has something to do with the fact that my first computer was an Apple IIGS. I should also note that the main reason I got a MacBook Pro is because of the form factor. I was either going to get an Alienware M18x, Asus G74, Sager, or MacBook Pro. I didn't like the bulkiness of the G74 and didn't want to wait for my computer to arrive in the mail as I really hate waiting for stuff to arrive in the mail. So I went with what I thought was the best choice and got a 17" MacBook Pro.

agreed but the die hard fans do....more so the ipad/iphone fans....i don't know why people like being stuck with one 1 choice and paying a ton but anyways.


sidenote...isn't considered a flaming thread...mod? *cough* Tsunade_Hime *cough*

[Ishmum]

Im not flaming Macs, just the annoying users who think they have theworldsbestthingthatneverhasaproblem

Who cares? Let them live in their little reality warped bubble. Just live in satisfaction with knowing that you know better.

Only when they assume that because it's expensive, by default it's better than their "cheaper" PC counterpart because logically being expensive means it uses the best stuff in there right?

Then I just ask what their £1000 Macs can do better compared to a £500 PC for their usage (which is usually just online browsing and multimedia playback) and they become really stumped after so they just try to change the subject saying "it just looks better OK?". This is actually from my friends and my boss believe it or not.
