I'm not impressed. The new studio has 1 mac, 2 PC's. The PC's have been running without problem or reboot for almost 2 months. The mac has crashed twice today - and it's just sitting there listening to a quicktime stream monitoring our server. It even conveniently hard locked yesterday, command+option+esc wouldn't even save it...To it's defense, however, I did crash the video editing PC yesterday. Simultaneously rendering a 1080P, 720P, and a flash stream while editing in another window was too much for it Bet it would have hung on if background rendering wasn't turned on too...quality

I, too, have used a Mac.

i have had my mac for 2 years and never had a problem with it (except when i drove away with it on my trunk, of course)i had a pc and it always had problems thus, i am not impressed with pcsjust using your logic

that means there's something wrong with your mac or the OS installi've only had 2 or 3 kernel panics in the YEARS i've been running macs... and those were due to something i was messing around with.

I know two people that have Macs. One loves it, one wishes she had a PC.

It's a brand new mac... if something suxors it came from the factory that way.

I'm using my Macbook Pro right now.I <3's it.Seriously... never had a problem with it (except for a CD it couldn't read. Tried it on three other computers, all PC's... same problems... stupid CD)

Fork a Mac. And if I did have one I would have Vista on it. They rape your pockets, but at least they are hot!

Macs do crash-a-lot as far as I am concerned.
12/9/2008 3:16:23 PM
I've never had a good experience on a mac. have very few bad experiences on pc's
12/9/2008 3:18:21 PM
Every Mac I ever used in a Unity lab somehow frustrated me before I either left or jumped on a PC. Maybe I was using the lemons.

Did you try pressing ctrl/open apple/reset?
12/9/2008 3:27:36 PM
pc's what?everyone in my family has a mac, and we have a couple at work. the only one we've had a problem with is the very first one we bought, a first gen mini. it froze up constantly. i eventually reinstalled osx and it's been fine since. one of the powerbooks at work had to be sent in for the hdd to be replaced, but that was human error, not the computer's fault.my work pc is a different story. it has never cooperated over any length of time with any of the printers or plotters in the building. it occasionally just turns off for no reason with no warning. i had a double blue screen of death last week too. yay![Edited on December 9, 2008 at 3:32 PM.

I have had more problems on windows than I have on macs. But really, they are both computers, they both have issues. The only problem I have ever had on my macbook was it not shutting down when I told it to. But it's not like windows never has that same issue.
12/9/2008 3:28:41 PM
Bow down to the PC, just do it already.

Yeah, totally a great take on mac users Look who started the thread. In fact, look at how a majority of the threads that turn into mac vs pc dickriding contests... they are started by pc users bashing macs.Fuck this thread.

My Mac crashed every other day until the recent 10.5.5 update. Since then it's only shit the bed on me once.Windows 7 hasn't crashed yet
12/9/2008 4:19:01 PM
All I'm sayin' is that there was this great anticipation of getting a *reliable* machine. I'm not asking it to do something like edit videos or stream live webcasts. Just don't crash, keep quicktime running, and browse the web. As of yet it has not performed any of the mentioned tasks reliably.
12/9/2008 4:21:13 PM
well mine does so i'm happy!
