You can actually buy Alice face masks, for occasions when you want to look like a really old man wearing too much make-up.

Honestly, I don't understand the North American conviction that 'Apple' is a synonym for easy, or quality, or 'the best'. It takes people who want a no-brainer option and gives it to them. With a hefty price hike and a locked in ecosystem. Obviously the gear is nice, but utterly inflexible and enormously expensive. If only closed-source drivers kept up with Linux a little more or opened the source code, we would have a universally good and cheap alternative without lock-in. :)

But Mac users don't need any other version of Windows. Must be true because Apple has decreed it.

I thought it was Apple policy to ONLY support the current version, backward compatibility - phooy

Why would you buy a Mac and then use Windows on it though
Because the MAcBook Air is the best Windows laptop I've ever bought. (and no, you can't really buy the equivalent for half the money once you start comparing apples with apples. I thought I could too, but was surprised at the price parity)

Of course not, making better laptops as pretty as the macbook air got to be expensive. :laugh:

Do what I did. Grab a Seagate Portable Thunderbolt Adapter (was AUD$114 when I bought it - exchange rate hike has made it more expensive from here!)[^] Grab an SSD - whichever takes your fancy Grab some bluetack Grab a thunderbolt cable Use a blob of bluetack under the drive to keep it level on the adapter (which is designed for Seagate's enclosed drive) and stick it behind your Mac Now either migrate your HD to SSD or (what I did) install Yosemite on the SSD and re-install just the stuff you want - while leaving the internal drive for less frequently accessed stuff. makes it feel like a new machine for a couple of hundred bucks! I can't believe I didn't do it earlier - Thunderbolt external SSD can be actually (slightly!) faster than an internal one! (I read it on the interwebs, so it must be true!)

Really? Well I don't know about the laptops so I'll take your word for it. But in the desktop area last I checked that 'pc is half the price of an apple' was pretty accurate (k might not be exactly half the price but...) Disclamer: last I checked was 8 years ago so much may have changed :) Either way I think I'll stick with putting my own pc's together. It has served me well, last pc lasted 9 years (without having to re-install or any issues at all) and the only thing that broke at the end was the ssd (but I figured I'd replace the whole thing at once ;P )

You can get cheap laptops, and even cheaper PCs, but when you star asking for 256GB SSDs, i7s, really long batter life and lightweight, the costs quickly converge to "lots", no matter which brand.

What??? Are you kidding me? Apple is the most evil of them all. They fail to get the phone right, so they expect you to buy a new one every six months. :omg: They tell you their phone is better than the rest. But it only has one button and the others have 3 buttons at the bottom. So clearly the others are 3 times better. They take a Nano, strap it to your wrist and tell you its a smart watch and charge you 5 times the amount. X| They sell you a laptop, call it a MacBook and charge 5X the price of a laptop. And then the people who buy these install a Windows VM. Why not run Windows in the first place??? I digress. I've seen Satan's car. Or at least it was a red Volkswagon beetle that had "Satan" vanity plates, and yes you guessed it... an Apple logo sticker on the back. :mad: And remember, what got Adam and Eve thrown out of the garden. Oh yes... an Apple. So yes. Apple is evil.

I don't understand why you have this conviction that 'Apple' is inflexible or enormously expensive. If you want a quad core i7 laptop with a 600+MB/s SSD and high res (UHD or ~3K) screen with 7+ hours of battery life, Apple's products are priced at the low end. If you're wanting the cheapest laptop you can buy, well, then you should look elsewhere. The same goes for their other products. Yes, you can buy cheaper, but are you going to compare a Yugo to a Bentley or even a Ford Focus (the model you'd actually drive, not the base base base model)? They're different products intended for different markets. As for inflexible, how so, other than their phones, and even those can be jailbroken and you can do what you want.

I have. Let's just say that our experiences couldn't be further apart... It was the worst programming experience I ever had after Crystal Reports and DevForce :laugh: Well, to tell you the truth I worked on someone else's machine and none of us had really taken the time to learn the tools :) But no matter how awesome you think Apple is they still aren't exactly famous for being able to run all software out there. I think this rage comic explains it better[^] :laugh:

You are largely incorrect, it runs more than windows, since windows last I checked won't run OSX, but OSX will run Windows, and Apple hardware will run MS Windows, so exactly what was your issue? It sounds like you were trying to dev for windows on OSX, or doing a side project on OSX itself, otherwise your tools would have been the same.
