Picked up an HP pavilion laptop last night, so far I think I like it. Bought it for the huge screen and the graphics, apparently its considered a "gaming" computer, but I'll MAKE it work for $1200 less than the Macpro I wanted.

Please more of you go over to apple and take all the hackers/crackers/virus programmers with you. I will gladly keeping pay less money for better systems that are now free from attack since you guys took them with you.

No doubt. My stock could use a boost. Some of you iPhone dabblers need to man up and buy a computer already.

I guess you aren't on any photography forums then. In other forums I find that Linux elitism is rampant.

Linux is definitely the worst. Mac a close second, I don't see much Microsoft elitism on the net. Mostly MS bashing.

Mac elitism = Done by people who judge a person by what they wear
Linux elitism = Done by people who need a life
PC elitism = Rare but done by people who are tired of fad hoppers and geeks who haven't seen enough sunlight yapping about how great an operating system is.

My sister had an Imac a long time ago, and I hated it. The fucker just wouldn't stop crashing. It was one of the lower end models, but it was still bullshit. My friend's parents bought a top of the line mac not too long ago and it's great. I don't know what to think of them, but I do know it's a hell of a lot cheaper to build a good PC then it is to fork out the cash for a mac. Not to mention mac doesn't support nearly as many programs as PC still.

I meant forums like car, bike, and other "male-dominated" hobby forums I've been on. Usually with these guys it's always about how great their custom-built PC is, how much money they saved (but probably spent more time)........But the biggest thing I notice is that they go on and on about how stupid someone would have to be to buy a Mac, and that Mac owners must have only bought it for the image, and that they are sheep, etc. etc.

In contrast, most Mac owners I know stick to themselves, and don't actively diss PC's unless they are attacked first.
