i have a mac, why does no one hate me?

the funny thing is, in the shop class, they had computers with XP on them just for running autocad (but i thought macs were supposed to be better for designers and artist types??? lol...) and these computers were made around the same time as the macs, had similar specs, and cost the same as the macs because the school couldnt afford anything more expensive due to budget.

This was in 2007-2008 by the way.

I hate Macs because they traumatized me.
I had bad memories with XP too, but when something went wrong on XP it was fixable. When something goes wrong on macs, nobody knew what to do back then

Yes, it's stereotype because the hipsters are huge faggots.

They saved their a dozen of welfare check to purchase a mac

They crashed all the time.. sometimes students would be in the middle of typing a 5 page essay and it would just crash and they'd lose it all. Even saving your document constantly, crashing would still make you lose paragraphs and having to spend 5-10 minutes rebooting the machine and this would usually break your train of thought, and the time wasted would cause you have to stay after school just to finish

some of the computers wouldn't print... the printers worked fine for some of the macs in the lab, but some macs just tarded out and wouldn't print even though on the mac's end, the printer was visible..

When you tried starting some programs, nothing would happen.. then 5 minutes later they'd finally appear and if you tried starting the program more than once, then multiple instances of the same program would all pop up

it couldn't have been bogged down with viruses or adware because "macs dont have viruses lolz!"

There was no major processes bogging down the mac's CPU or memory, because the only programs on the computer were the ones that came with it. They literally were laggy pieces of shit right out of the factory.

Mac used to not support flash either, did they? Just ridiculous.

Windows is still unstable as hell if you have a lot of files and software installed, sometimes i format windows to clean and get restored stable.

Are you using microsoft office for mac? it really sucks

The printers are from hell, because there no open source and require drivers for the printers, i hate controlled catdriges that wouldn't us allow to refill ink. You better rent Xerox printers.

Flash is unstable as hell too for mac and linux, why don't you use HTML5?

Macs use CUPS, just like Linux.

the photo filters that come with macs and get hipsters hard isnt the same kind of designing you do in autocad

It's not about the photo filters, not anymore. Here's a rundown of why Macs have this stereotype about being used by designers

First, the obsolete 'facts'
a million years ago it was the only operating system with a real GUI, and the only one that supported a mouse.
Photoshop has always been available (and for a long time better supported) on Macs

And now, onto modern day
They have this stereotype associated with them already due to the previous two points, and these things tend to perpetuate themselves. Design shops buy Macs because they have always bought Macs
Designers have no need for the office suites or enterprise integration that are Microsoft's strong points
Designers care about aesthetics, and Macs have the most aesthetically pleasing hardware and software available
Designers typically don't know anything about computers other than Photoshop, they want Photoshop to work with the least amount of stress and Macs are great at 'just working'
Apple makes the best displays in the industry and they have for years
Apple bundles a bunch of multimedia stuff into the OS, but I doubt any of this is of use to a real designer
However, they also offer higher end applications like Aperture which are only available for Mac

I hope this clears things up because frankly I'm sick of all the misinformation flying around itt

you were still waiting on puberty way back in the 00's... thus your opinion is without merit

From what?

he betrayed to us by a clump reason, it was very shame.

I made post about windows is unstable as hell... Did you read that?

I don't remember but I already knew that windows was unstable as hell
