1. Women drivers.
2. People that have absolutely no taste in cars (Familys that don't even have 1 american car)
3. Women (like my sister) that parks their car to close to the other and making it a P.I.T.A. to ride my bike
4. People who think their hardcore rednecks by driving nissan hardbodies
5. When people buy a car and don't even know what engine is inside of it
6. People who know nothing about computers and buy MACS
7. People who think they get a great deal on something when they really don't
8. Ricers
9. People who think they're all that (i always end up outsmarting them)
10. Kansas drivers (I swear they never look when backing up out of a parking spot!)

I am 13 and live in Georgia. daily things...daily things..........

What'* wrong with women drivers? Some tests actually prove that women drivers are better drivers, though I think that'* B.*., it all depends on the person. What'* wrong with buying a Mac? Some people just can't admit they're better computers. My next is definitely a Mac, I'm tired of PC B.*. I can, however, totally agree with you about the redneck thing, it is totally ridiculous. I can also agree with you on the ricers. But, 100%, without a doubt, there is absolutely no way in h*ll I will ever own a Toyota, I DESPISE them (sorry anyone who owns a Toyota).

Info and Specs for all the OS'* can be debated and skewed to make one look better than the other. But Software support allows/makes/keeps MS on top. I have many things I like too well that aren't available in any other OS. Why is MS on top. They think total picture. The others? Too many geeks running them who only think within the OS platform box. I hate Mac. I hate the way Mac looks. I hate the way Mac always has to rewowrd everything and make it work differently just for the sake of being different. Not a fan of Bill Gates, but His way of perceiving what the public wants is a legacy left even after he has given up the day to day reins. Spout off all you want, the public votes Windows with its wallet. Nothing else matters. Software follows the money. So put that in your Mac/Linux pipe and smoke it.

What'* even worse is when those people try to argue with you why MAC is better than PC. Ummm hello you just paid for a 3k word processing unit while my 3k computer could probably devise a plan on how to murder your MAC and make it look like an accident

Ho boy, a Mac/PC thread. We might as well all state our preferred religion, political party, sports team, and beer.

I'll just say that I've got both a Mac laptop and an HP tablet. They each have their merits, though the Mac*is my primary computer. The PC is saved for car software, the occasional game, HP'* (awful) IE-only partner apps, and anything that requires being away from an outlet for more than 15 minutes (because I'm too cheap to buy a new battery for the Mac).

I didn't have to pay out the nose for the Mac, but I did anyway. Good thing, because after four years, it still flies. Since I bought it, some of my nerdier friends are already upgrading to a new PC laptop for the second time. Definitely got my money'* worth.

In the PC'* defense, I will say that with Windows 7 and the decision to make Security Essentials freeware, Microsoft has definitely stepped up their game.
