It's a PC. No, it's a Mac. Wait, it's a PC again. Now it's both.

Bwahahahahahaha

Then this popped up.

Not sure updating the OS is a good idea as it's a tweaked/patched OS X but the others should be OK to do.

Now, what can I do with it?

leowyatt · 04-11-2007, 13:51

What do you want to do with it? You should find the patched version of Leopard and put that on there

To be honest there isn't anything special that you can do with a mac that you can't do with a PC.

Be smug in the fact that you're running OSX?

Kitchen Meister is right, there isn't really anything you can do with a mac that you can't do on a PC.
However, doesn't stop me using macs because it's true that they don't break - I've had this since 1st july and it's only crashed once.
Everything is included/intergrated with the OS which is the good thing because it means everything is linked somehow.

If you had a mac running windows, then that would be a good thing

I just wanted to play with it, see how it works, what it does etc etc. Now I can do that, I don't know what to do with it!

SidewinderINC · 04-11-2007, 14:21

hehe, theres not much to it really. The fun things are hot corners, they make mac life really simple. and the dashboard.

They're the only 2 really cool things I can think of from the top of my head.

Oh, the standard screensavers are better than the windows ones

The main programs I use on OSX I can also use on Windows. Its just that its the small things I prefer on a daily basis.

Here's something I ponder.

Apple integrate everything into the OS, no one bats an eyelid.
Microsoft do it and its anti-competitive.

petemc · 04-11-2007, 17:04

Guess its cos MS own the market.

So you force a company to be uncompetitive with another product? That's hardly just. I'm not particularly fond of MS but it is a bit daft that what they enforce of MS they're not enforcing on Apple.

I'd agree, but you can't really accuse a minority player (as much as Apple might want to be otherwise) of being a monopoly now, can you?
