Yes they were, I had one until a recent thunderstorm :disturbd:

You couldn't see too much though, just the CRT, a few capacitors and a load of heatsinks.

Macs are also used in computer science (at least at my uni) because of 1) Media and 2) Unix.

That's a good point, both of my machines run Linux too :p:

And Macs can run Windows too, so shouldn't this thread be called Mac vs Mac?

Antisilence, the foundations of MAC OSX are all on Unix, you also got a fully working Unix kernell and command line in the os itself, thats what Damien ment with it.

robster for what kind of card you need Mac drivers, if its ralink cards go to www.ralinktech.com and there select support. if its another card I might even be able to find something for that ;)

the few macs i've had the chance to have a go on (various os releases) all drove me stark raving bonkers... no doubt if i gave it more time i'd get used to it, but there's little incentive.

Heh, I think AntiSilence was pondering why Damien felt the need to tell us that Macs are used in CS labs, at least at his university anyway... rather than the *nix origins of OS X.

Not sure anyone had previously questioned whether they are or not.

Sorry I should have quoted someone earlier in the topic who mentioned how macs are used in the home and how they are good for home users. I was pointing out that IT professionals and Media professionals also use macs and they are not simply a 'home' computer.

Mac OSX is not Windows Lite, Or "My first pc" type OS. Its a powerful operating system and very very complex if you know what your doing.
