        This man speaks the truth, once you go Mac you never go back. I was a PC user up until about 9 years ago, and had to buy a new PC every 12 - 18 months due to the tech falling behind and machine becoming a giant paperweight.

        In 9 years I have owned 2 Macs, the first one I paid £700 for (at the time this was much more than a Windows laptop), and sold it 7 years later for £400 to upgrade to my MacBook Pro.

          My story almost the exact same as Mega's.  For years Kiya had been whinging on at me to go Mac.  Like Gav, I changed my Dell once per year cos it was a heap of crap.  Almost 3 years ago I bought a MacBookAir - it has no feckin idea what a virus is, runs the same speed as it did the day I bought it and even dropped it onto its corner onto a concrete floor from waist height, apart from a dent, it merely laughed.  Initially, I had about 4 weeks of stumbling around and there are still some things that frustrate me, but overall, never looked back…..

            And you'll get pretty decent forum support. We're a helpful bunch and most things are pretty simple.

            I still love love love the Ellen Feis switch campaign, best ever :). Such a stoner 🙂

              i dont know, i've never really fucked with a mac
              i know NOTHING about them at all

              That's the point, you don't need to know shit to use them. My old man, who is completely computer illiterate, uses a Mac and loves it. Easy to use with less problems.

                guess i should NOT stop drinking alcohol 😠
                haven't lost an IH item this time, but my OGL iPhone case including my bank card + drivers license

                (which i was able to get back today, ogl case + drivers license (getting a new bank card, so they dumped the old one already!)…somebody found it in front off the bank building and handed everything in. so today, as i had to go to the bank to pick up some cash for the fucking peugeot, the guy recognized my name and asked me if i was missing something! so after a few more minutes wait, he came back with my goods in his hands 😃 new bank card should arrive during the next day!...guess i´m a lucky fella 😉 )

                …also almost my iphone, but i was lucky and the woman that found it turned it in at the local hotel and called a mate of mine so that I was able to pick it up...hurrah! -.-

                fixed! 😉

                                Not sure, am I allowed to mention the surveillance state I live in here or is that considered too political?  Honest question.

                                    You can mention it, but depending on where you go with it, it could be an issue.  Sorry, but the definition gets a little vague around current events.  Well, the police state has been developing for years, but the fact that we've become aware of it is current…

                                      I'm just going to leave it there.  I can see how something like this could evolve into a debate and I don't want that.  More importantly, I want to respect the forum.

                                      Instead, I'm going to complain about the NBC crew that's been covering the NHL Western Conference Finals.  Bad camera work making me seasick, bad production cutting away from the action at just the wrong time, and really poor commentary.  Go Hawks, let's end this misery tonight!

                                      Think it, be it.
