hahahahahaDid he lose his manbag containing his guide to being a smug pseudo-intellectual twat? So all his adoring fans hate him now? Such a fickle life.

Well I was thinking it was rather a tepid thing to say - I've heard much worse comments about womenmostly coming from b3tans. ;)

it was a stupid thing to say, but so what?he tells people they should all buy every Apple product too, if people want to believe everything he says then that's their own gullible lookout

Precisely, personally I've never paid much attention to his ramblings about his gadgets,to me he's just another rich tosser telling everybody just how very rich and priviledged he is. Not that I bear him any ill-will but if I could afford an Apple Mac and replace all my software I would have done so a long time ago - yet my conscience keeps nagging me and telling me that Apple Mac's are no better than a well-specced PC, so why the need to throw away good money just to look trendy with the designer-set?

You only need to be rich if you feel the need to be trendy and get all the newest stuff to flash about in your trendy bars,if you just want a nice simple stable mac just buy last years model or get one off eBay from someone with more money than sense who just got the trendy new version.
It usually takes about 6 months for Apple to iron out all the bugs, lower the price and make it a worth while investment anyway, so just leave it till then if you want one.
Avoid all the silly paper thin, super sleek, all packed in super shiny super compact stuff, it looks nice but IMO it's just for show (a laptop without a CD or hard drive for example, pah!), get the practical boxy stuff no one queues for, it's a lot cheaper and way more serviceable when something goes wrong. If you want something with all the functionality of an iPhone without the bill get a nokia 5800. Or a touchscreen Android.
And I can assure you finding downloads of Mac software floatin about free online isn't impossible, maybe a bit trickier than for a PC but you only need to find it once.
If ya don't wanna come across as a flashy tech nerd, don't be one, but don't reject all of it for fear of being accused as one, that's as bad as following the other sheep!

I'm not opposed the having an Apple Mac but it seems a big leap for a little upgradethe only tempting thing is that all Apple Macs are 64-bit whereas most PCs are 32-bit and in order for me to upgraded my PC to 64-bit I could just load up a 64-bit OS but there would be no real benefit unless I changed the Motherboard to gain extra memory slots and fitted a newer faster Processor. But I see no real difference or real benefit by switching to Apple Mac.

Fairy nuff. A lot of folks are!I can see why, all this stupid overpriced shiny stuff and daft trendy tech nerds queuing around the block for days just for something they can impress their mates with, but I hate teh idea folks avoid ALL of it for the same reasons, just don't get involved in the silly season stuff and go for the older or more practical products, it's good shit and they last for years anyway!
*edit* Ah well you see I'm not a techie boy so can't answer that, but that's my main reason for liking macs, I don't need to know about or deal with what's under the bonnet, it just works and needs very little maintenance, practically none in fact, everything I add new adds itself, anything I remove removes itself, it rarely falls over or gets sick, and I love that!
Mind you my experience of PCs was about 10 years ago when Windows was it's former over bloated over active self, I'm told it's new (Mac OS style) self is way nicer and a lot less random and poorly, but I notice my friends with PCs still seem to be spending at least one weekend every other month re-jigging them to keep 'em running properly and stable, and they talk to one another like a couple of binars.

No I agree with you I've often thought of getting a last season's Mac from Ebay or suchjust money is very tight at the moment, but I'm sure I'll have to move on soon before I'm caught completely on the wrong side of the the 32-bit / 64-bit gap.
