What kind of Apple products do you have? I have a black nano and a macbook pro

I want an iPhone, damnit! lol. They won't be available in Asia till 2008 Sad

What is the Apple experience like in Korea? Have any of you been to the Apple store there ?

On another note, let me just take this opportunity to slam windows vista as a crude copy. hehe

I'm not directing this at you coder.....I just scrolled down until I found the first pro-Mac post I could find.

It's a nice article which sums up what drives PC-users crazy about Mac people.

Whole article here....

Wow, that is a stinging indictment of mac users! People will always find reasons to bolster their initial dislike of something, despite evidence to the contrary.

Yes, mac users CAN be snobby and annoying, but many are not.

As a refutation of the bitter quote, apple's OSX operating system is not a " fisher price toy" the part about it not being a real computer is funny, as osx is based off of UNIX which has been around since the 70s and is extremely stable. So the part about macs not being "real computers" is just some dudes bitter rant. Unix/Linux are extremely stable, and are used by the government to run nuclear and military installations. Can you imagine windows... "windows has enountered an error and must detonate the warhead" HAHA. Unix compartmentalizes all the applications so they can not corrupt they operating system environment if they crash. people just love to talk trash though..

I have an ipod mini. that's it. I stood in line for a long time to get it. Two years later, it's still chugging along even after having been dropped a couple hundred times and been fallen on whilst skateboarding a couple hundred times.

I'd like a new ipod but as long as this one keeps ticking...I ain't upgrading.

I wish they had something mid range that didn't have stupid monitor attached to it.

I won't buy a Mac anything at the moment, because all I hear about is batteries dying, macbooks overheating, and general "made too cheap in China" type problems.

The last two Mac things my girlfriend got (including the Ipod I got her) were dead in under six months.

Neither of us will bother anytime soon.

They do have the mac min mini (not the ipod mini )... though it does lack a discrete graphics card, but still plenty fast

An iMac G5 with no Intel.
A fine, fine machine. Never had a problem (serious or minor) with it. Plugged in and took off.
I'd buy another one in a second.

A 20gig photo ipod. My wife bought one but it didn't last the year. That was bollocks. Unfortunately, we bought it at a "not Mac" store so it didn't have a warranty (we didn't realize this until we tried to get it fixed). If it would have been under warranty, ie, had we bought it at a Mac store, it would have been replaced. Unfortunately, we had to give up on it.

I bought my own ipod (same model/size) and have had it for about 8 months with no problems at all...with the exception of a not awesome battery life (it was a display model so we got it heap cheap).

I have a MacBook Pro 1.83Ghz, AirPort Express base station and a 2nd Gen 4GB nano. I'd like to get my hands on the black Macbook, too.

I am a long time Ipod user and new MacBook user. After using my new MacBook for about a month, I will never buy another PC. I love this machine... it is so much more stable than any Windows machine I have ever used.

Here are the Apple items I currently own...

1. MacBook - 13 inch white / 2.0 Ghz Intel core 2 duo
2. Apple Ipod with Video - 30 Gig model
3. Apple Ipod Photo - 60 Gig model
4. Airport Extreme Base Station (802.11 n)
5. Apple Wireless Mighty Mouse

I've been using the Airport Extreme Base station for about a week... it is terrific... I have a couple of external disks and a printer hooked to it... It's nice to access them all wirelessly (with ease!).

I can't wait for the new operating system to be released this spring. I will consider buying a MacBook Pro or iMac at that time.
