buying a computer. (A Mac)

[baltimoron]

I am going to buy a PowerMac G5... it looks really nice, just what I need right now... I am looking for somebody to tell me a horror story about macs.... I am not looking for somebody to persuade me to buy a PC, but rather just some horrible stories about this specific Mac or any other story you have heard.

any praises for this computer?

No horror stories from me. I miss my days with my Mac. Just couldn't build my own and that became not only a priority for me but part of my fun. Oh how I miss my Mac.

I hated older macs. However, with the advent of OS X, the new OS is solid. More solid than windows in my opinion. Built on good old FreeBSd originally.

running a G5 here ... no complaints ... in fact, I'm rather pleased with it.

 

[baltimoron]

well, that's very pleasing news to me. I love the look of the computer, and the way Macs are set up...

 

[teknitroxdiver]

Sorry, but I've never had a horror story with a Mac.

Go for it. Which speed are you getting?

 

[baltimoron]

I dunno all my computer terminology.... but I think (I hope, I will confirm) it is FAST.

on my fourth Mac, no horror stories ever. Have a dual processor G5 now.

Horror stories of a Mac ???
That's an incongruity if there ever was one.
The closest thing I can think of is that these days they make you pay for customer/tech support. Unless, of course, you go into one of the stores and hook up with the 'geniuses', then it's still free.

Got several, all the way back to a 7500/100 (that one stays, it's got the lifetime support - and makes a decent printer server).

I have a mac both desktop and powerbook, only issue is on the powerbook with the screen, fixed now but was a pain, desktop unit has worked fine for me, not like my Dell which runs XP and has needed to have the OS reinstalled twice, Macs are fine, that's my 2 cents
