vortex 4's Profile

I have been a mac user for the better part of 17 years, although when apple got slow with the G4 i switched to the PC, i still use a mac (i use my mac for internet and nothing more- i do my real work on pc's).With the advent of the intel macs i went out and bought a mac mini, brought it home and set it up. Not a bad machine but with weak sound and graphics. I then realized the error of my ways- i took the mac mini back to the shop(here in aus with keyboard and mouse it cost me $1471), and got my money back and went and bought a 64 bit AMD turion compaq laptop for 1378$-why did i do this?? I figured that if people buy macs then apple will never bring OS X out for PC's, which is what i really want- as the mini was too slow and lame. I got a much better deal with the compaq machine(the macbook cost $1800 which is apples closest laptop)-the compaq machine has A 64 BIT PROCESSOR AT 1.8GHZ,128M X200 ATI GRAPHICS,DUAL LAYER DVD BURNER+LIGHTSCRIBE,SAME CAPACITY HDD,WIFI,6 IN 1 CARD READER,VGA+S-VIDEO VIDEO OUTPUT, EXCELLENT BUILT IN ALTEC LANSING SPEAKERS-overall this laptop is four times better than the macbook and six times better than the mini-MUCH better value for money-and boy it sounds soo much better. I really think apple hardware is still way too overpriced/underpowered and i'm not interested in spending on their custom machines-just look at my example-apple don't EVEN HAVE A 64 BIT LAPTOP, let alone one in the price range with such good graphics. I figured my old G4 would last a few more years and hopefully apple will by then have brought out OS X for pc's, if not then they are not worth buying. so yes steve please BRING OUT OS X FOR PC'S or else i may just forget about apple and keep using LINUX/WINDOWS. I am hoping that the use of the new macs will drop off as people find out that they are overpriced(when the original imac came out apple use in australia jumped to 4% but a year and a half later dropped off to 2.2%), hopefully mac use drops off and steve will bring out OS X for 'vanilla' pc's. In the meantime i will watch apple and see what they do but in order to try and force their hands i will NOT buy any apple product(ipod included), until OS X is released for PC's. I am also an avid hater of intel and it was hard to buy a machine with an intel processor(apples pentium 4 on the snails back campaign really got me looking into the quality of processors and even an apple shop employee told me how bad pentium 4's and intels chips are compared to AMD-apple were just too good at convincing me that INTEL IS RUBBISH, i could not now unknow what i know and buy INTEL like the other double standard mac users). SO PLEASE STEVE LET ME BUY A PC WITH AN AMD PROCESSOR AND RUN OS X ON IT-I WILL NOT BUY ANY INTEL GARBAGE YOU BRING OUT AND WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING APPLE UNTIL YOU BRING OUT OS X ON STANDARD PC'S. Thanks steve i know you understand.
