alt.binaries.mac will get you whatever your heart desires. alt.binaries.sounds.aac will get you an array of mp4's. alt.binaries.mac.games, alt.binaries.mac.osx, etc..
I've used mac for 3 years and have never had a virus, horse, etc. I'm not on a soapbox, it's just true. Let's see what i gots on my archive drive. Final cut pro, the macromedia suite, office, reason, pro tools, creative suite, canvas, quark, vectorworks. Final draft pro, after effects,mac the ripper, dvd2onex, 3000 mp3-4's , numerous games. whatever i want.
Now i did luck out on my tower and yes they are expensive. But they hold their resale value(FACT). Try selling an outdated pc on ebay. And P.C.s become out dated much quicker than a glorious macintosh. Check out my g4 tower specs---Dual 1.25 ghz, Four 180 Gig harddrives, 2 gig of ram, Geforce 4600 (Which has caused problems) Die nVidia. Cost 1300 bucks. ANd i have proof of it all. (For all the doubters) It's a pc world because most fools are sheep and have no idea what they are missing.
AND OS X KICKS THE SHIT OUT OF WINDOWS.(FACT)
Someone much wiser than i once said you get what you pay for.
And you can run virtual PC on a mac if you just have to use winblows.
DONT PUT WORDs in to my mouth, i never said they are bullet proof. Just better.(MONGO) And more reliable(FACT)
And if you need to update your mac, you click you mouse on the little apple icon. Go to software update and there it all is. No hunting around a mother board manufacture sites for the latest chipset drivers, then rolling over to your grapics card site to look for drivers, then back to windows update, then to you printer manufacturers site. so on so forth.
Ease,Stability,reliabitly and elegance.
Oh and OS X kicks the shit out of windows. This is the biggy. I have never seen a blue screen of death on my mac. I don't have to jump through hoops and go though restarts to add or remove software. I've had the tower lock up before, but i blame this on the shitty nVida card.
My Laptop has never, ever locked up. No program has ever crashed ever on it. (FACT)
MAC's rule.
