  1. Re:I've had it with Apple by Ilgaz · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    There are people using eMacs etc which can't pay that price, also people _have_ to use Macs for their jobs running on second hand macs...

    There are people with some trouble paying it...

    I see you have .Mac account too, $100/year, no problem... but STOP being RUDE to people (you all) can't upgrade to latest version of your luxury OS...

    I got a G5 here, one of the most expensive hw apple released so far, no money problems, yes I bought the fucking $34 upgrade CDs, installed but NOTHING justifies me to talk shit to people can't understand the damn reason why Safari does't work at 10.2.x , a 1 YEAR OLD Os!

    Had enough with you, your kind of spoiled, rich people makes people hate from Apple...

  2. Debian Anyone ? by shidda · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I am a newish MAC user, I bought the 12" power book when it first came out. I am very happy with it. Before I recieved my Powerbook I had allready decided to install Debian on it. However after using Mac OSX and finding out it was not to hard to get linux apps working (using Fink), I decided to give it a try.

    My system came loaded with Jaguar, so i had never bought a operating system from Apple. Panther was the first upgrade available to me.

    It all started when I wanted to download the latest version of X11 for Jaguar from the Apple site. Alas it was no where to be found! I then found the previous version on a web site. But that is not the point. I looked on the site just within a week of Panther coming out.

    Now Safari and Java. For heavens sake Jaguar is not even that old.

    All of these things are pushing me more in the direction og getting rid of OSX and installing Debian.

    If this is how Apple is going to treat its customers I think they have to reconsider their stratergy.

    Has anyone else been thinking of deleting OSX and installing Debian ?

    I reliase these are minor things at the moment, but put all of them together and they do not seem so minor. As allways it is the princple of the matter which is in question.
