Back in Windows 7, Familiar Territory
Monday, March 3, 2014 by 3java3 | Discussion: Windows Discussion
Hey, it feels great to be back in Windows 7, after the disastrous adventure of messing around with Linux Mint Cinnamon 16. Ever hear of a system crash called FALLBACK MODE, and it's a loop, and you cannot seem to fix it or stop it or get out of it? Maybe I shouldn't have tried to install a cursor into the users/share/icons folder with elevated privileges.............. is it possible that Linux is overrated? Or am I in the wrong, and I did something I shouldn't?
oh well. It is what it is. Don't know if I will ever go back to Linux. Or if I do, just for Web Browsing.............

One thing though, back on Mac, I always heard and have no proof, never been caught touching a Mac(lol), that they used superior parts such as amounts of gold plate and different (better made)components? Any truth, just out of curiosity?
No...although they might try to claim that to justify their prices....
It is certainly not difficult to locate superior [PC] hardware than that used/priced within a Mac, just as it is easy to find inferior...

I do not think Mac hardware is superior to much of the upper-end PC components which are a fraction of the price. I'n fact, my niece is just one person who thinks Mac crap is crap. Her 1st and only MacBook Air was in the shop several times for repairs prior to her losing patience and opting for an ASUS machine a couple of years back, and that has been trouble free thus far.

I would find it difficult to return to plasticky laptops after having owned a Mac laptop.

ID...there are quality lappies....they're not all plastic.
Quality is where you look...eg my DiNovo Edge keyboard is the price of some laptops....you pay for what you get....and reverse...

The thing I don't get about Apple is they basically have the same parts as a similar equipped Windows notebook yet cost 3 times more. Why?

Commodities are priced at a point that matches what the market will bear....nothing else.
As long as Macs have an obsessive following [lemmings...whichever] they'll be priced to suit.
You match market share to profitability...and Apple has obviously found the right balance FOR THEM ...
PCs are an open and thus competitive market that sees more than one price-point reached to suit individual sectors of that market.

So, still waiting, was he wrong installing the cursor!?
Very informative reading. Now to decipher fact from fiction, okay, I got no idea. I await part two of the topic.

As for os, still I prefer not having to write code to watch a movie. I am the normal user for sure, and rely on windows to do the complex stuff. I got enough to do as is. People like convenience and easy and quick.
My 1 cents.
