The Social Conservatives Safe House

I use to be known as the computer killer here. Then I bought my first Mac, used it 4 years and am on my second one. The only thing wrong with the first one, was it was getting full.

I don't know DieHappy, buying a new computer every year at what, about $500 or so or buying one at about $1,200 and it last 4 or more years. Not counting all the repairs I was needing. Money ahead with the Mac, but that is me, might not be the case for others.

And I don't think a Mac would run MW4.

"Even as it stands, the Home Guard could only exist in a country where men feel themselves free. The totalitarian states can do great things, but there is one thing they cannot do: they cannot give the factory-worker a rifle and tell him to take it home and keep it in his bedroom. That rifle hanging on the wall of the working-class flat or labourer's cottage is the symbol of democracy. It is our job to see that it stays there."

"Police, at all times, should maintain a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and the public are the police; the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full-time attention to duties which are incumbent upon every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence."
-Sir Robert Peel

True. I consider the premium price to be worth the saving in frustration over the life of the computer. My blood pressure is very important to me. My iMac calms me.

Side note - Buy refurbished - I bought a refurbished laptop a couple of years ago from them. It did save a couple of hundred at the time and the warranty is the same. I had no problems.

They're still making that game?
It seems like it has been forever since I played MW2.

Ha! it has been forever... I'm looking at the back of my cd (blows the dust off) and it looks like MW2 came out back in '95.

Wouldn't any brand computer be good if you got a good one?

Actually, Mac computers are now equipped with Intel processors AND you can put on either Bootcamp or Parallels and run Windows and Windows software. My sons both do that and have some games they run on theirs.

Grace, I know what you mean. Hey, when you get all those virus warnings, you take a quick peak at what they affect and get on with computing. Only about 2% of viruses are written for Macs.

I got a computer with twice the RAM, and over 4x the processing power of a mac for less money. (And I got a 19 inch LCD monitor)

My first computer was a mac. The SE/20, back in '87. 3" b/w screen. 20MB hard drive. Something like $2k. Almost no software available at the time. Still, it was state of the art at the time.

Too funny. Anyone else seen this?
