i want a mac but..

[MrPinkPanther]

The warranty is one year which sucks and no they don't last forever. I've never really come across any compatibility issues with anything (just fyi) My screen on my iMac is already ******* up 6 months after warranty is up, it gets weird thin stripes down it (like half a mm) when it's warm, WHAT A JOKE!

I haven't bought a Macbook in ages but I still have my Old'un from around 8-10 years ago and it still works. I thought the warranty used to be 2 years?

Yes, thanks for that Sherlock. It is impossible for something to rise, and drop at the same time. it either rises, then drops, or drops, then rises. He has said that in the present tense, NOW, right this SECOND, it's rising, and dropping at the same time.

Can I just say what a great argument you put across :rolleyes:.

Whilst the market share can go up due to one specific thing it can also decline due to one specific thing - BOTH at the same time as these 'things' are not related in any way apart from the product that they effect. Honestly, grow up and post about Mac's not pissing market share.

OS X is just about what you want. I'm a fairly technical person, but I'm buying a Mac. Why? It's just because I like how they look and the operating system is great, in my opinion. There is also, in my opinion, a higher percentage of quality software than there is for Windows.

I'm not under any illusion that it is more secure or that viruses are impossible. If you know how to use your computer properly like many of us on this forum, you would never get a virus, regardless of any protection and firewalls.

I know you said in your opinion, but even you know that statement is false.

I was actually just pointing out to Jewish Bear that his post seemed a little strange, saying that the market share is rising and then alter on saying it is falling, all in the present tense. (BTW: You didn't say anything to Jewish Bear, he was talking about market share in the first place so... yno.)

Don't tell me to grow up please. I think you need to look at yourself to be honest, sat on a forum telling people to grow up? LOL!

Just for your info, As he was typing

When OS X starts getting more (it's already started happening) market share

1 mac was bought.
As he got around to typing

OS X is already starting to lose market share to Windows because the guys at Redmond

2macs broke down.

You may say that...but I do believe it. Look at all the amazing looking apps that work brilliantly - Coda, LittleSnapper, EventBox - all built by little companies, but great quality products.

You look at Windows software, and not much of it looks very nice (although I agree this isn't overly important) and most of it I don't feel is worth buying.

As I said though, it's just my opinion.

Filezilla is extremely functional unlike this "cyberduck" which is just pretty by the looks of things.

Transmit is better.
