You see, he didn’t really take the time to actually READ either the original post (which was directed at PC users anyway) OR the real context of the comments. He just started typing in a rabid knee-jerk fashion.

If he had taken the time to actually read the posts - what I said was “What I know about the Mac world would fit into a thimble.” I did NOT say “all Mac software could fit into a thimble”.

Like too many Mac users he simply started foaming at the mouth and typing invectives.

If he had actually taken the time to read the preceding comments or the post that they pertain to he would have noticed that I gave a very pleasant nod to the both Mac software (which I indicated was typically better written than PC software) and to the Mac hardware (which I noted was typically not only more stable and easy to use, but more attractive as well.)

Shame that one or two rabid fan-bois are the standard by which an entire group is judged, but it’s always the extremists that ruin reputations and cause problems.

you need to by a new card for the mac. thats a PC thing.
you need “mac the ripper” to rip to your hard drive or if you just wanna make ipod versions you need the program called “handbrake”. both are FREE (but donations would be great cause these guys make our world better)

[Editor’s Note : Links were removed because the DCMA calls into question the legality of the software aforementioned, which was one of the points at the very heart of the post if you had bothered to read it completely. I carefully considered leaving them in - because they pointed to tutorials that are pages and pages long on how to actually USE the aforementioned (illegal) software. Which was yet ANOTHER point in my original post - which as I said apparently wasn’t read.]

If it makes you feel any better, I can’t afford the Starbuck’s Double Grande Latte, after paying for my Mac. I am forced to stand forlornly by the window, looking in at all the shiny happy people, while I drink my Quick Trip coffee.

Ah, the heck with it:

I admit it, I like QT’s coffee better than Starbuck’s. And the atmosphere is better, too.

If you ever hear of a Mac version, post it for me, willya?

Hopefully I’ll already have it by then, but I’ll appreciate the gesture.

What I know about the Macintosh world would fit into a thimble.

And not a very BIG thimble at that.

I’d be amazed to find out that they didn’t make a video card that does basically the exact same thing for the Mac - and I’ve got a DOLLAR that says the software for it on the Mac is written better and more coherently than the P.O.S. I’m using on the PC. But I’m afraid I don’t know where you can find more information.

Why is my name Mac but I use a PC?

Because - secretly - I yearn to be part of the uber-cool elite Mac “in-crowd” and be seen drinking Double Grande Latte’s at Starbucks with my silver PowerBook while I live-blog my existence to the rest of the world.

So I adopted the name “Mac” to make up for the fact that I’m a worthless zombie PC user who’s Windows based machine takes a giant puke on my desktop every 15 minutes - or alternately lays on the floor of my study with it’s eyes rolled back twitching like a head trauma case because of yet another Blue Screen Of Death freeze-up.

And thanks so much for pointing out my painful shortcomings.

While your at it why don’t you give me some nice paper cuts and pour lemon juice in them?

You don’t happen to know if there’s a Mac equivalent to the card you mention, do you? Mac users don’t like paying to watch movies we already own, either, so I was hoping you might know.

P.S. If your name is Mac, why do you use Windows? D
