Computer technical support

it may be half the spec, but the 1.25 ghz, 512mb ram powered powerbook g4 i have that is 4 years old still runs alot better and faster than most new machines, try to remember that macs dont have all the cluttering crap that microsoft put in so dont need so much power to make it run fast!

on the plus side as well this g4 is second hand, i know the person who had it from new, and he only had to do a special reboot (holding down the power button for 10 secs) once, and i havent had to do it yet, how many windows pc's can you say have been that good?

The three that I built? All are still running happily serving different purposes. Occasionaly they need a little tweaking but generaly not much.

The oldest is around 8-9 years old and has the same spec as your G4.

Comparing Macs and PCs is like comparing a mitsi warrior bling machine with an old landy. One costs a fortune is lovely and shiny but isnt worth poo when its gets serious and you cant do a lot of modding to it, the other is cheaper needs more easy maintance, has nothing to beat it and you can change bits of it on a whim 'just to see'.

If you are happy with an ultra reliable, underpowered, overly expensive chelsea tractor then who am I to argue with you. Me, I would rather eat razor blades.

Yoshi:
i dont see how you can say its underpowered? if it was underpowered then it would struggle to keep up with other machines instead of passing them when their on the hard shoulder!

Bob696:
Hey if you want to spend £700 on a machine that has the same specs as a machine I would buy for just over half that just to be safe thats your choice.

This thread was about computer technical support as apples are so good I dont see how you could make comments on it   :wink:  LOL
