my dislike for ipods. price, much more than better mp3s in my opinion. the scroll thing on it i dislike aswell, itunes just so damn slow and doesn’t want to sync with anything unless u delete your library/u cannot remove music, where as if my 30gb creative zen vision w was still with me (i threw it at a wall…. long story) i could just go plug it in at a friends house and unload my whole library nice n simple drag and drop into folders.
my house has two mac computers and one macbook pro, i have used them loads…. i do not like them. like yes macs seem to not get viruses but they don’t seem to be able to run loads of stuff i wish to download off the internet, everything is made for PC!!
Ah I only ever encountered the issues with iTunes the first time I loaded all my tracks to the iPod, then the odd few songs added never seemed too much of a hardship.
When I lived with my olds and use a Mac more than my PC I only encountered problems with software if it was something specialist (breaking firmwares on phones, consoles and other things like that) if it was word processing, internet browsing, emails, burning CD’s or the other stuff I would generally use a computer for there has always been software available for Mac’s or Linux that worked as well as what was offered on Windows.
Things like updating the operating system to the latest version was simple, buy a very cheap DVD, stick in disc drive and let it do its business. come back 1/2 hour or so and it was done… Windows involved sitting choosing options and wasting a hour or so in the process.
Whether using a Mac, Windows machine or Linux I have found them all pretty easy to use. Linux can be a bastard sometimes until its running properly, Windows is just odd with its issues, but Mac’s seem to work with any product designed for them.
They seem generally better thought out products… If I had the extra spare cash my money would go on a Mac.
