I use MAC Apple Computer  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer 3 years ago

I am new to the world of MAC. It all started when I have my new Iphone from Switzerland. At first, it was difficult to operate not only because of the difference of features in Windows but also, I am using an APPLE desktop and MAC laptop with German Language. Why german? First and foremost, I have to learn german because I am living here since few months ago. I also need to learn German through this computer so that it will be easy for me once I work in a company and they asked me to operate a computer. But all in all, I love Apple. I am still planning to have another laptop with windows because there are applications that is only applicable in windows and I have to dowload those applications. I also need to use windows once in a while because there are sensitive things I need to use in windows with english language.
Anyways, what computer do you use and how you enjoy it?

if MAC could have lisensed other players to sell laptops with MAC OS,. i would have gotten one..but apple are just selfish..they are the sole provider for macs..that makes them very expensive..the cheapest mac laptop in my country is about $1200!..too much

deewinc . .

sorry i cant agree with you that apple is selfish . . .

all i can say to you . there are many things in life that you pay for what you get . .

and when it comes to a computer and apple it rings true. . .

happy lotting to you!


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Hello there. MAC is really expensive but it does not mean they are selfish. MAC gives back what you pay. That is what I know. Since I am using it and I can say that I am really satisfied with what I bought. My desktop does not have any CPU or what we call Central Processing Unit. The brain of the computer comes together inside the monitor. You cannot see it because it is inside. My table also have much space because I do not need to put much wire, CPU and others like what I always do in my Windows ACER before. I am really happy to have it.

But thank you for the comment my friend. I hope you have a nice time here in Mylot. Have a nice day. At last, I am in my 100s posts here. It took me two weeks because I was not regular here in Mylot last week. Been busy. I will be more busy end of this month.

Keep posting,

Happy Mylotting

Jeff


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Thank you very much saw. Yes you are right. You pay for what you get. Of course, I will not pay for something that I do not want to have especially if its expensive. I have to think many times before I buy something. And I am sure that what I bought is something I like and I can use really good. I love my MAC. I think you also use the same.

have a nice day

happy mylotting

yuansplace .

welcome to the lot and welcome to the world of Apple! There is nothing better in my book than a Mac . .and my very first computer many years ago was an Apple . but then with everything on line happening and my daughters friends all had windows we went into the windows platform for a few years. .. but now that I am back on a Mac I could not be happier .. thumbup

Just so you know . .you can run windows on a mac . .. whatever you can do on windows you can do on a Mac . . .

Happy Lotting and so glad to see you took a bite into an Applerolleyes


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Hello, I think I wrote wrong description about putting windows in MAC. I am actually using windows. I was just confused while typing. But anyways, I was correct, you also use the same. I also noticed you have a perfect 10 star. That is really nice. Once again, thank you very much for your comment. I bite apple because I love to have it. Let us bite together.

Happy Mylotting

I would never use mac cause it's not compatible with major software and it's pretty damn expensive. Plus I don't care for design that much


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Thank you for your comment Bionicman. I understand what you are saying. It is really true that it is very expensive plus not many people use MAC. That is the disadvantage of having MAC. Another thing is not all software are compatible with MAC. So I know what you are saying. But I will stick to MAC this time. I love what I have. I probably will get another computer for outdoor use. Hopefully after I get my salary.

Thanks for the comment. Happy Mylotting. Keep posting.

Regards,

Jeff


myLot reputation of 79/100. Bionicman (1901)   ranked 97 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Yeah it's kinda funny cause when you use mac you need another pc. But when you use PC you don't need a mac...


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Hehe. I get another PC not because I do not want to use my MAC anymore. I am a person who collects electronic gadgets and I really love having two same things at the same time. It is really funny but this is my hobby. Also, I work hard for everything I own. For some reason, I also would like to thank Mylot for giving me some extra income. I was able to get some accessories in Ebay. Pretty cool.

Keep posting. Happy Mylotting.

lol Howdy yuansplace!... Are you a Filipino? Coz you look like a Filipino.

Anyway. I am an Apple Technology Fanatic and a Geeky Macatoids.

I have an Apple desktop iMac 20" 2.66 ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with a 2GB DDR3 RAM and 300gb of hard disk space. I got my iMac last April of this year. What you really, really want or think-of for a computer are on Apple Macs. It is fast, secured, smooth and seamless. You'll notice this is the least specification of an Apple iMac newest models for today but I am completely satisfied the are no less only more than what I expected for a computer.

Actually my very first computer was an Apple 2e way back 80's on my teenage years. But now this my second life in the world of Apple technology.

Did you say windows applications? Well don't bother with those stuffs, I know for you like beginner or have just been switched it will be hard a little bit because I have also been that also. But as time goes on you'll notice or ask yourself "Why do I still need Windows applications or software?" And the real thing is that you actually missing out already the World of Windows because what you found out that the EQUIVALENT software and applications are much better or much has more power using on Apple Macs.

on my iMac, I have triple boot OS: The Apple Mac OS, a Genuine MS Windows XP Home (sp3), a genuine free download of MS Windows 7.

The Windows OS are merely for games or just an for alternative OS or for testing. My Windows games are those classic games because I still have those CD's installations. So, if is still working I might sell. But, lately I found out there are Windows games that you can natively have on Mac OS. The old classic window games and even the DOS games and also newest games. The difference of Windows and Apple MAC when playing those games there are no hassles at all when playing on Mac OS natively. But on the side of MS Windows there are some issue and that is of course compatabilities and bugs of hardwares and softwares.

For application and softwares use there's nothing to beat on Mac OS they are all marvelous and fantastic. As I said they are more faster, secured, smoother and seamless. And beside those triple boot OS I have Virtual Machines (Parallel and Vmware Fusion) so I can access my MS Windows OS while on Mac OS without booting-up. Plus I have an Linux Ubuntu installed on my Virtual Machines. I also have an Cross-Over Games, its an MS Windows emulator.

So as you can see my iMac of mine is so very enough for a computer to think of but this is a really computer or more than a computer you ever know. I have installed more OS on it without hassles they are perfectly working side by side. My iMac is a computer with more computers inside. So why, do I need a PC? If I can have it all on my iMac.

And if some software and applications still bothering you how about we discuss more and share more ideas and information for what all that matters about Apple Macs and technologies. Ok.

w00t Thanks and Enjoy!... myLot!...


myLot reputation of 57/100. pxm204192 (161)  3 years ago

oh,from the information above what you had said, you are the expert of the computer, and used for a certain time of using the apple machine of the second generaton of the computer, this kind of the function is very powerful for the current times, oh, it is a main stream function of the computer machine.but the mac. os ect. because of not using for me, i could not say about it.compared to you, i now use the machine is very some latter than yours, the cup of iv, 2g of ram, and 80G, but for my using, i think of the function can be full of my using, i just draw a picture of the cad picture, and write some words in the msoffice of word, is not be for the media making of using some film soft, yes, i think that my now computer is very full device for me, the getting on the internet is very streamline, very fast.i seldomly and not play games.


myLot reputation of 80/100. gjabaigar (1095)   ranked 62 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

lol Ni hao pxm204192!...

Thanks!... But no I'm not a real expert or advance in computers I'm just a user and of course has different experiences and using the computers. And also a techno geek at the side especially on Apple's technologies and also Linux Ubuntu.

Because my machine the Apple iMac is new for me I just bought a couple months ago. I have dedicated my attentions merely what the heck I'm going to do with this iMac. I reformat so I can make triple boot. I've done by trial and error by reformatting and repartitioned the iMac a couple of times but I've succeeded and make it right at the end. Now I can use Windows applications and games side by side whether for using or testing. I don't need anymore additional machine or PC just to have Windows OS. I think maybe at some time at the near future or maybe not happened (I hope coz I might really mis that world of computer) that the Windows OS might gone at all or I might take away that side of my iMac because it will be merely a useless space but what the heck. Or whatever. rasp

drool Thanks and Enjoy!... myLot!...


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

I am part Filipino and part Swiss. Swiss nationality. Why did you asked? But anyways you seemed really very good in computers. Hmm, you even specify detailed information about your iMac. That is cool. Your iMac is pretty new and mine is not really new. I think a year ago. But just today, I got my new HP Laptop. I am using it now and Windows Vista is running supported by some applications I do not know. I never knew that triple boot Operating System you mentioned. I am not really good in computer. I am just good in looking at it physically. haha. Just Kidding. But really thank you for taking time giving me enough, I should say more than enough information about MAC. I am really amazed. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting.

WOw. really WOW. PXM, how long have you been here in Mylot. You have 204 thousand posts? That is really a lot. I am sure you earned so much from here. I am out of the topic but was really wow with your posts. I wish I can also reach that much. I am just becoming very lazy day by day because I have other works to do. Sometimes, I not even use the website because I must concentrate on other sites. But thank you for making a comment to the post of gjabaigar. I appreciate you. Have a nice day. Keep posting. Happy Mylotting.
Jeff


myLot reputation of 80/100. gjabaigar (1095)   ranked 62 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

oh wow. That's really so nice. Sorry I asked about it. I had a feeling your a Filipino because you are like a Filipino based on your photo. And I am right. Cheers! oy! Pahinging chocolate!.... hehehehhe joke lang.

No, I'm not really that good I have to prove more, experience more, and researched more on the internet. But, thank you very much for that wonderful remark.

Your running Vista inside Mac OS? You must be using either VMware Fusion or Parallel. I have both of them installed so I can access my other installed "from the boot" the MS Windows (Vista and XP Home) on either I use VMware Fusion or Parallel. The other reason I installed those two Virtual Desktops (beside accessing MS Windows without rebooting) because they provide free and full usage of antivirus softwares, but I installed the antivirus McAfee in the VMWare Fusion on the MS Windows.

For tripple booting Mac, just research on the internet you can find them surely. But, I hope and I know you hoping also that you have lots of time and even patience. hahahahha. So I suggest and assume, just don't do it at the moment but if you really want, then why not. But I think you won't do it, I know your a very busy guy.

oh What is your Mac? anyway.

I once tried the mac operating system. There is much difference in use between mac os and windows. Its interface is very beautiful and it runs very quickly. In order to manipulate and control it, I have to read a mannual with several hundred pages in English. I could operate well at that time, but to tell the truth, I have forgotten most of the operating ways since I gave up the mac os two years ago.Good luck and have a nice day.


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

I actually even enjoy MAC OS now to my windows. I just bought today a HP Laptop and I almost forgot my knowledge in Windows Vista. I have not use this OS for long time and because I have been using the MAC way back, I can say that MAC really is more easy to use and have good interface.

what new about your ocmputer?your computer is not different from our now computers, what side difference of such this computer, what good point have your computer, have any characteristic of your computer, please speak out clearly your computer.i think the apple is very orginal serie goods, nowsday there is few of them which can be used by the now people. i think this is very difficult for you to grasp it, one is to know the knowledge of the computer very familar, secondly, the german language is grasped freely, two of them is not easy for the normal people, but good luck for you.


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Hmm sounds weird. But I appreciate you come back here just to comment again. Well, with regards to my computer specifications and characteristics, I really cannot explain because I do not have good knowledge in computers. I am person who just loves what I physically see and when I use it, I know that it is good to use and easier. That is why I was able to compare it to the PC with windows OS. Well, it is very challenging for me to really familiriaze the computer components plus its applications and programs. I always believe that it is always nice to try something new that is why I am familiarizing myself to it. Second, you mentioned about learning the language at the same time, I already learned a lot and I am sure I will progress better and better because of this computer language. Thank you once again and I wish you good luck too.

Keep posting. Happy Mylotting.

I'm both a MAC and PC user. But I believe that MAC is better than PC. Though you can't install softwares as much as you can with PC, I still enjoy it because Apple really cares for their users as they continue to create good applications for you to download. Hey don't forget that you can still use Vista with your MAC. You can do that with bootcamp, if you want to know more about this, use your search engine of your choice! good luck!


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

Thank you for agreeing with me that MAC is better. It has limitations in software that we can install but it offers the best applications and programs. Thank you for information abour bootcamp. I will be doing my research later on after this response. Have a nice day. happy Mylotting. Keep posting.

Hi friends!perhaps pc's are built up with US English in some situations they prefer there own luanguage and the company's are kept manuals for usage,go through the manual it is easy to operate any kind of pc and any kind of electronic goods the manual are very helpful for us.


myLot reputation of 81/100. yuansplace (228)   ranked 1,059 out of 6,370 in computer  3 years ago

I hope you understand why I use German in My pC. First, this is one way for me to learn German faster. Second, I would push myself to work in an office environment and it requires a person to be knowledgeable in computer. I might have the knowledge but the language is different then its useless that is why I am learning through this way. Keep posting. have a nice day.
