That's IT, i'm done with fukking PC's

[Ayo]

had my macbook for 4 years now & not a damn thing has gone wrong with it. i run the latest mountain lion OS on it and all i did was upgrade the ram a bit, it runs fine. i rarely turn it off, never ever ever had a virus or anything like it, never lost a bunch of files, never had any problems.

I'm on my 3rd Macbook Pro in 9 years. Why you ask? Because I like Macbook Pro's. It's not out of necessity.

My little sister still to this day uses my 8 year old MBP with no problem.

And my gf has my 5 year old Macbook Pro and she's had no issues.

Both run like they were purchased yesterday. Let's see a PC laptop do that.

Macs unquestionably run better and longer.

Tried to go that route a few years ago. Didn't work out. I pirate too much shyt. PCs are better for that

I've had my PC (a no-name brand from some company in Cali...I wanted one without all that useless software pre-installed that I'll never use). Still running fine.

1st: Your documents are likely still there and easily accessible. Just get a connector and you can connect it to the usb port of another computer. The connector is like $10 or so (Google internal hard drive to usb) and taking your hard drive out is easy. If you have a microcenter near by you can just pick it up.
Edit: get the SATA/PATA/IDE Drive to USB 2.0 Adapter


2nd: stop downloading software just cuz it's free. Its not like music and movies where I'd say get it for the fukk of it. Only get software you need.

3rd: stop downloading porn. No need to do that in 2013. Too many streaming sites out there to feast on.

And of course, always browse with no-script.

Stop down loading porn

True they are great computers but still overpriced. I have owned 1 and it was my favorite computers. However having said that a pro is the only thing I would buy from apple and NEVER RETAIL.

Bout to pic a new one up but I might still cop an Asus

i stay backing up stuff....i nearly had to learn a hard lesson some years back when i slacked on doing backups and windows kept on freezing on me like a min after i started it up...the one time it didn't i attached my hard drive ASAP and backed up all my music, files, docs, pics, etc..all while praying my pc didn't freeze which thankfully it didnt

They are definitely worth saving for. In the long run anyway. They are also great tax write offs.

I buy retail because I take advantage of the education discount through friends who are teachers. I have a MBP, iPad, and iPhone. But I have no interest in the Mac Mini or iMac.

If Apple dropped a new Mac Pro though I would have to consider it. Those things are beasts

I backed up stuff to a WD once when I did a clean upgrade to my computer. Didn't eject the USB drive and lost 160gb

Got my replacement after filing a RMA. 2 months later lost another 100gb on my replacement when the USB chord was accidentally pulled out while writing to it.

Moral of the story is....WD drives + Mac = Always Eject

Couple of issues I see every time I read stories like this dudes are not

-browsing the internet safely, especially when downloading that much

-not doing regular system scans of there computers

- downloading that much content and not doing daily backups


II lost two desktops to viruses when I was like 20, didn't have hundreds of gigs but still a significant amount of data, ever since then I started backing my stuff up, first on cd's then usbs and now externals

This document explains how to use Disk Utility in Mac OS X to repair a disk. Disk Utility is included with OS X and can be used to repair system file permissions and minor errors in a disk's directory structure. It is located in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder on the hard drive. Disk Utility can also be run from a Mac OS X installation disc.

Mac's ain't immune.

Yes, no IBM-PC laptop has ever lasted 8 years .

I had a 2005 HP Pavilion DV9000T that was still going strong until my brother lost it 6 months ago. Goddamn a$$hole. Only thing wrong with it was a bad pixel on the monitor, and I had long-since lost the rubber "shoes" on the bottom.

That's seriously the best you can do Breh?

Because it comes with Disk Utility? I've used it 4 or 5 times in 8 years to format thumb drives or create partitions.

Macs also come with Terminal which gives you access to a full blown UNIX console. But I bet 99% of the people don't use that either.
