That one made my side split with so much laughter.

It's not beauty, it's terrible. The only thing Apple has going for it is a "clean" look, but the faux-interlacing and abused alpha blending are awful. Not to mention the complete stupidity of having 3 colored circles in the corner of each window.

At least MS knows enough to attach an icon to them so it's more intuitive what they do without having to mouseover.

It's the little things that create beauty.

The section below your belly should be quite beautiful then, Glonkyboy.

*yawn*

There is a difference between professionalism in XP and 2000, and a child toyish look in Mac OS.

Some find beauty in professionalism, rather than a OS famous for running Kid Pix.

That's because by 7th/8th grade you were hoping that with all the cracks about d!cksize your friends would whip it out and you could get a nice look.

I suppose you find traffic lights confusing then.

The three lights are more intuitive anyway, they change depending on what will happen when you press them.

It doesn't look like that. Yeah, I know. Sounds odd, but it doesn't.

I find advance-signals with arrows more intuitive than a simple green flashing circle.

And this is a redherring. I'm not saying they're confusing, just less intuitive (needlessly so).

Did you even think about this before you said it?

You honestly think a little colored circle is more intuitive than a box with a giant X in it?

Red means stop - you can't get any more intuitive than that.

Anyway, I'm not going to ruin a picture thread by explaining to you how easy it is for all but complete mental defectives to know what is going on in either system.

But wait, I might forget that the big green "X" is Excel.

I downloaded a nifty program called WinMac, which promises to change my Windows desktop into a Mac desktop. But I'm afraid to install it. It would be nice to have that beautiful look in my system.

Another red herring. I'm not sure if you just are incapable or just unwilling to understand.

The funny thing is, Kid Pix is STILL better than MS Paint.

Never said anything about MS Paint.

But if you bring in Paint Shop Pro (my personal favorite) or Adobe Photoshop... You know who wins.

Mac sucks. Period.

They are still stuck on old design and actually try to claim their best is faster than a good PC.. yeah right.. Apple lies more than Al Gore.

[whisper] Hey fez - there's photoshop for macs... always has been..... [/whisper]

I get more done more quickly on my mac than I ever did on a pc. It's not that I'm bad with a PC - it's just that I find everything so much simpler and more elegant on a mac.
PCs are cold machines. Period.

I'll admit it, your processors are faster - but that's not something I worry about anymore.

You sound more vindictive and bitter than you do knowledgable.

I am quite knowledge. All I need to point out is the PC is much faster than the Mac, which you seemingly conceded, and my work is done.

You say Mac is easier? Exactly. That is another point. It belongs in a 2nd grade classroom. Not in my room.

And the Mac interface is hardly elegant. Perhaps simpler, but not elegant.
