| ty stranglehold | What a pisser. I got home pissed last night to find my hard drive toasted. The goddamn thing is only a year and a half old. I'm over at Mr. Brown's posting this, so I'm guessing that I won't be around here for awhile. Remember to come and see the Hoosegow play on the 8th and 9th at Logan's and Lucky respectively. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:09am | ||

| Geek with a doob | Chances are if its 1.5 years old its got a 3 year warranty on it. Just goto the website of the manufacturer and get and RMA on the drive. dont worry, you'll find it. then simply send er in and get it replaced. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 2:32am | ||

| Shaggy User Info... | Just call the shop you bought it from Ty, they cover your waranty so you don't have to deal with RMA's. Although I'm sure you've lost a lot of data on the hard drive you didn't want to (mp3's, gig posters you've worked on, lyrics etc). - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 9:55am | ||
| Geek | Most any hard drive made before 2003 has a 3 year warranty. Some Western Digitals from 2002 started switching to 1 year warranties. As of 2003 , all leading hard drive companies have a 1 year warranty, as hard drive sizes grow and prices drop they had to make ammends on warranty policy. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 10:26am | ||
| Geek | Ive RMA'd approx 10 drives in the last year for various clients and freinds. TY, pray you dont have a Seagate, cuz if ya gotta RMA that sucker it'll be a few months till ya see it. A Fujitsu however, you will recieve within 10 days of mailing it out. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 10:28am | ||
| King Bong User Info... | What a PC crashing???...Buy a fucking Mac Ty and enter into the world of WORKING computers! Kola - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:07pm | ||
| Geekinator | HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh you Mac heads are FUNNY. King Bong. Mac use the SAME hard drives as PC's. EXACTLY. If a hard drive pooches out it doesnt matter what computer is running it. Its a mechanical issue in the drive. PS: New pc's running XP are faster and more reliable than any Mac, any day, and you arent limited in what software you can use. A dual 2ghz PC box can be setup for less than $1200, with loads of Ram. a dual 1.25 ghz Mac is running you about $3200 with a meager 512 mb Ram. And it will clock slower than the PC, and takes twice as long to boot up. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:12pm | ||

| King Bong User Info... | Oh, and geekanator you forgot to mention that you will replace the crappy PC twice as often because the hard drives are generally made by numerous manufactures that sell to the million pc manufactures at the LOWEST price! Lets face it, the PC is a crappy amatures rig, they crank em out like model T's and if you buy your gear cause it's cheep and you have to replace it every year PC is the way to go, Bill Gates is the Henry Ford of the Computer game..anyone who is serious uses a Mac ..get real..mac is in a different league..you pc losers are all the same...And as far as running the same hard drive ..you're full of shit dude..which PC are you talking about anyway...... - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:18pm | ||
| Computer Tech Geek Slut | I tell ya Bong, you are wrong. Gone are the days of Mac superiority. yes , they were superior until about 1.5 years ago. But the price ISNT right, and any cheap gigabyte/asus type motherboard is just as , if not more so, reliable than any proprietary money grabbing mobo that Mac uses. The Athlon XP processors clock as near as fast as any Pentium 4 chip, which clock faster than the current Mac processors today, for a fraction of the price. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:21pm | ||
| Troutbreath | Here we go AGAIN. I work with computers as part of my JOB. If I want to get the work done on time it needs to be done on a Mac. Windows boxes are good for Gamers people that actually use a computer to make money use a MAC. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:25pm | ||

| Troutbreath | That's really not true. Just getting the Video or Audio into the Computer is way easier on the Mac. It has to do with the hardware being integrated in a way PC makers just can't emulate. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:29pm | ||

| Anonymous | macs = Overpriced. I can buy good PC's for the cost of one MAc. MANY top notch music recording studios in the states have moved FROM Macs to PC's. For 3 main reasons: Overall cost is less Overall power is more now Software is upgradable. MOST MAc software isnt upgradeable from OS to OS, which means $1000's of dollars spent with each OS upgrade. Sure when windows went from 98 to XP a few software titles werent compatible, but not the expensive stuff, which MAc loves to do. XP is solid, quick, easy to maintain and use. OS-X is slow, buggy, and a pain in the ass, with waaaaay to much pretty stuff to slow down your resources. granted OS-9 vs Windows 98, OS-9 wins HANDS DONW But OS-X vs. XP? Sorry Mac, OSX SUCKS - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:38pm | ||
| Mac man | It's like Bong said PC's are for the masses, the great unwashed, they are the model T of the computer world and as Troutbreath pointed out any one who uses computers to make their living uses Mac, sure you pay a little more ,but in the end it is totally worth it for the peace of mind I have and for the time I save serching out a downloading PLUGINS! Fuck Bill Gates and fuck PC! - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:39pm | ||
| Cheese | Fuck ease of use and software compatibility issues. Fuck loads of free software for every function known to man on a computer. Fuck every single program being available on both with the exception of Final Cut. Fuck the fact that a dual 2ghz PC is twice the speed and 1/3rd the price of a new MAC. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:45pm | ||

| Anonymous | Windows XP has too many security issues. And M$ makes you pay for patches to fix those mistakes. Upgrades to OS X are free. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 12:56pm | ||
| Anonymous | Check out OS X Server. Very good hardware, very competitively priced and you don't have to pay for the number of users. In the long run it's way cheaper. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:00pm | ||
| Geek Squad Supreme | XP Upgrades are free you dummies~! All Windows upgrades are free with the exception of new OS's. Unlike MAC who charge huge for each new OS and you need to replace ALL your software to match each new OS. And whats with this cheese ass Linux Kernel on the new OS X? NTFS kicks its ass. Gone are the days of the lowly FAT32. And the security patches for PC come out as soon as they are available, for FREE and if you are online, auto load EVEN ON PIRATED COPIES of XP. You MAC users are living in the stoneages. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:06pm | ||
| Dr Hardware. | New PC technology simply put CRUSHES new Mac Technology. For one thing, Mac are using the same processor technology they were using 4 years ago. A cheap PC mobo these days runs at 8x AGP and with an 800 mhz FSB. Thats a board you can get for about $120, name brand too with warranty. And no need for proprietary RAM. All PC Ram works with eachother next to flawlessly nowadays, unlike MAC ram which is iffy at best unless you buy the MAc approved ram which costs like $300 per stick of 256! Mac users always think their shite dont stink, but the future is grim indeed unless Steve Jobs grabs a brain and lowers prices. I have a close freind who uses his MAC Dual 1.25ghz for Final Cut usage. He watches me go on my lowly 1 ghz PC and he almost cries at how fast my computer is in relation to his. And my PC is ancient! - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:21pm | ||
| Anonymous | "Unlike MAC who charge huge for each new OS and you need to replace ALL your software" You make it sound as though Mac changed their OS once a month. OS X is the first new OS on the Mac for years. The Wintel crowd used to slag Mac cause they were using such an ancient OS. Now they're slagging them cause they have the most advanced and backwardly compatable OS. And no you don't need to replace your software, upgrades are available for all the major programs. Unix programs can be made to run on the Mac with a minor amount of tweaking. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:29pm | ||
| Anonymous | No Upgrade fro Protools or Final Cut - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:32pm | ||
| Compudumb | MAC is cool but only for the ultimate power users. Unless you are editing movies or recording expensive albums and such there is no need for a MAC. In fact the headaches caused by MAC issues and their slow resolve can be the death of a project. Windows gives a prob, especially XP its almost always fixable. Need that new piece of software, dont have $500? Get it for free offline ( pirated , yes ) And what with Mr Jobs at the frontline of killing the free mp3 industry and with rumors of MAC implementing mandatory licencing for listening of mp3's.. getting a little intrusive dont ya think? The MAC Power users I know wont even TOUCH pirated software with machines that go online for fear of being busted by Macs prying eyes. PC's have no problem with Microcrap spying into their computers for pirated software. No sir, Macs are overpriced and overhyped and too damn slow in relation to the newest PC technology. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:33pm | ||
| Anonymous | M$ will go into schools and bust them if they don't have all their M$ software properly licenced. Just ask the poor old IT guy at your local High school what he thinks of M$. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:47pm | ||
| Anonymous | Compare PCs and Macs feature for feature and I think you'll be surprised. Macs come with standard features that cost money on the PC, the Superdrive being just one example. No one has brought up the subject of notebooks and portables. The new Mac notebooks are very good and are becoming a large part of Apples business. PCs just can't do the same things because of CPU size and heat generation. - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 1:56pm | ||
| METALHEAD!% | Geek Squad Supreme - you have said the funniest thing I ever heard a try hard geek say "NTFS is better then the Linux kernel" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA That is the dumbest pile of shit I have ever heard. And just to prove you know absolutely nothing about what you are talking about, OSX is based of UNIX not LINUX, similar in GUI design and stability (perfect) but completely different OS's with different kernels. Do you know what a kernel is? PC's are great for gamers as some games come out only on Microsoft. PC's are cheap to buy and easy to maintain. Mac�s are expensive but are superior in many ways for development of software, video, and music. This is not worth the extra coin to some people. The OSX is more stable then any Microsoft platform. ANY. It is the same price as XP. The hardware in Mac�s are more efficient, but all the hardware can break just as easily in a PC as in a MAC. Mac�s have the small problem of lots of security vulnerabilities. Microsoft servers suck ass compared to MAC servers BUT Linux, Unix, Novell, etc servers kick the shit out of both of them put together and you should be running Linux if you are doing any kind of hosting. XP is more resource consuming than OSX because of the hardware compatibility. OSX has set hardware that it uses and the hardware is designed solely for OS 9.x and X. PC hardware is designed to run about 50 different OSs and henceforth has a lot of extra shit. Linux runs more efficiently then either system, as it does not require drivers to communicate to the hardware since it runs directly from the modules. Problem - only a computer geek who knows what he is doing and not talking out of his ass (see 80% of posts above) can locate modules for newer hardware. Back to Geek squad, you do realize that NTFS and FAT32 are file system formatting for your hard drive right? I just reread your post and it is clear you are using the fancy geek terms, but incorrectly. No offense to any of you, it just seems you all use only your own computer or played very little on the other OS's. As a test, someone here please tell me how to instantly switch your resolution up and down in the enlightenment GUI. This is one of the most basic commands that you need to know in the geeking world and anyone who has installed and played with a few OS's would know this. If you can answer it without looking it up on the Internet, I will verify that this person is not talking out of his ass. I use PC's at home because I can build old crappy PC's for virtually nothing and use them as test boxes for fucking around with OS's and for network compiling and what not. I played with many Mac�s in both video editing and programming at college, work, and friend's homes and I have always wanted to buy a laptop but I am too broke to drop $4000. I use Linux and Unix a lot, as they are the most superior OS's and have been for a long time. Most real geeks I know use Linux with a Microsoft dual boot on their main machine. They also usually have a Mac for editing and this usually takes the form of a laptop as you can work on video anywhere and do not need manuals or the Internet all the time. Video work is tedious and involves countless hours of just changing shades, frames, etc, and so laptops are perfect. No matter how much you disagree, no matter your geek terminology, no matter how much you threaten and slag me, no matter what your credentials are, I am right and you can't change it. I left out the benchmarking stuff since I have not found any person or website that is accurate. I can not give you the to-the-second off the line benchmark results but I will gladly give you approximate (within a tenth of a second) benchmarks for OS's and their specific hardware if you give me the details and I will give you the links to show you how I got the information. I think I just let on that I am a computer geek. Don't tell anyone OK? - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 2:20pm | ||

| some girl... | I used to use a Mac at work, but then good ol' daddy took it away replaced it with a crappy PC (since I have to use Simply Accounting and all that office crap). I miss my Mac. Macs don't freeze: the program may, but the computer itself wont. Also, I can't use Aquisition on my PC (the free mp3 program, I'm sure you geeks know what I'm talking about). I guess that I shouldn't complain though, considering the fact that I should be working right now! - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 5:16pm | ||
| Shaggy User Info... | What Metalhead said, but also... NTFS is indeed a type of format, but also much more. It also adds some enhanced security features to keep files safe, or block them completely from view (unless of course the account you use upon login is allowed to view/edit/delete etc those files). - Mon, 2 Jun 2003 5:23pm | ||

| Stevie Handjob | OK, so we all know MACS are more stable than the PC platform and have slightly better hardware. Other than that, who gives a rats ass if they're slightly better when they only run 5 to 10% of the worlds software. More companies are writing for Linux than MAC's so who cares! - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 10:56am | ||
| Whatever | Funny, I have been running a 1 ghz PC for a year and a half now, with a measly 900 mb of Ram, and windows XP. I do everything from Adobe Premiere, Photoshop 7, to games like Unreal Tournament 2003 and other resource hogging entities. Ill be playing games, listening to my mp3's, and when Im dead, I minimize my game and work on Photoshop stuff till the next round, then I maximize my game window, play another round till dead, and so on and so forth. meanwhile Im running a software firewall, Norton Anti Virus, MSN, ICQ, and a few other random applications all in the background. Ive NEVER had problems. Ive NEVER crashed or frozen up. Worse comes to worse, I just ctrl alt delete anything that acts up, out of commission. My machine boots quicker than my freinds Power Mac Dual 1 ghz straight out of the box and all my high rez photoshop images render just as quickly and efficiently as his. Seeing as how I can get a 2ghz PC fully loaded with 512mb of ram right now, brand new for $550 , I know my old 1ghz is worth about $100. Those new Power Macs are nothing to brag about, my buddy spent like $3000 on it and my 1ghz performs on the same level at the extremes we are using them. Im sure there are more taxing software titles, Maya or Final Cut or something, but its not like we are Disney animators here. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 11:44am | ||
| some girl... | Honestly, computers are just like cars: we brag about them and have cool fancey features that we never use (like the direction N,E,S,W on the rear view mirror) but in the end, most people just get wrapped up in hype. My brother is an animator, (his own web/animation company) so he needs a Power Mac. I, on the other hand, use my crappy PC for posting on LiveVictoria, downloading mp3s and doing office work: so I basically don't need a mac, I just want one. Just like the guy who wants some crazy yuppie 2-seater Lexus car when all he needs it is to pick his kid up from hockey practice. We may be able to speak geek-o-nese, but it all comes down to what you need (and can afford) to get around in. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 12:04pm | ||

| Whatever | Oh I didnt mention how when Im not Photoshoping I also build flash and HTML websites and such. I do all of my online video clips with Adobe Premiere. You dont address my point about my 1ghz machine doing all these things in a similar timeframe to my pal's dual 1ghz. So go fock yerself. PS: No I dont game and run premiere at the same time, but Photoshop, any HTML editor and new games, all in a days work.. Die, work, play, die , work , play, whats the matter? The new Power Mac cant play games while running big applications in the background? maybe it has to do with OSX's horrible interface with the new Power Mac motherboard. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 12:28pm | ||

| Troutbreath | About 80% of the work on a computer involves typing. Typing text for business reports, business letters, resumes, school papers, typing into spread sheets etc. I have an old Mac Classic II with 10 megs of RAM a 250 meg hardrive. I've used it to write a book, a play, set lists for the band. When we videotape the play then we'll be using a G4 to do the editing. I mean, how fast can YOU type. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 1:28pm | ||

But then I'm an MMOG junkie so I'm probably somewhat biased ;) It's fun to piss around gaming rather than sit in front of a TV that lowers your metabolism, and generally has no intellectual value at all (can't recall where I heard that, but was a study on kids that were overweight and watched too much boob tube). Games have communities, just like music communities. Games can teach strategy, eye hand coordination and patience. Not all gamers are d00dz or anti-social boneheads.

| READ THIS | Type MAc Vs PC into a google search engine. http://www.digitalvideoediting.com/2002/07_jul/features/cw_macvspc23.htm Conclusion As you see, the dual Athlon is still the fastest PC we've tested, but the single Intel P4 2.53 GHz machine runs a close second, and even beats the dual Athlon on some of the tests. And, as expected, the Mac dual 1GHz G4 could not even come close to keeping up with these two PCs. Even though the P4 machine has only a single processor, it was easy for it to leave the dual-processor Mac far behind. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 6:07pm | ||
| Get a Life People! | Bigger... Faster... Better... They all get the job done for crying out loud! McD's vs A&W? Coke vs Pepsi? Tea vs Coffee? Cream of Mushroom vs Vegetable? Player's vs Du Maurier? Sprinkles vs No Sprinkles? Pampers vs Huggies? Live and let live... everyone has an opinion... but you don't have to fight about it like a bunch of idiots!!! - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 6:22pm | ||
| Oh My | Read any reviews these days of Mac Vs PC. Mac users get soooo mad because they spend so much money and now a $1000 PC out benchmarks the most powerful Dual Processor Mac G4! Do it. Type in Mac vs Pc on any search engine. Enjoy your redundancy :) - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 7:57pm | ||
| Whatever | Ill be at Steamers tonight too. you better watch out MAc punk. I have a joystick built into my crotch and Im gonna RAM it into your Firewire hole. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 8:03pm | ||
| Anonymous | Look at the Mac Dual G4 hehe. It does less than a now obsolte Athlon 1600! You can get Athlon XP 1800's fully loaded at ATIC.ca for $450! And MAYA is a top industry program is it not? - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 8:07pm | ||
| Anonymous | Except Geo-Cheese doesnt allow remote linking so: MAYA: http://www.geocities.com/sw_perf/maya4.gif Photoshop: http://www.geocities.com/sw_perf/PS7Bench_10.gif here the G4 does quite better, but no as fast as the new Pentium 4 3ghz. Still, its barely better than an Athlon Dual 2ghz which is less than half the cost of a G4 Lightwave: http://www.geocities.com/sw_perf/Lightwave7.gif Mac G4 dual 1ghz sits at the bottom. CineBENCH: http://www.geocities.com/sw_perf/CINEbench_2003_2.gif The Now Obsolete Athlon 1500 does better than the top of the line Mac G4. Anyhoooo. Mac freaks , enjoy your $3000 machine, Ill be quite happy with my $1000 PC. And Dont forget about HYPERTHREADING! New Pc technology that will almost DOUBLE the speed of the already faster Pc Architechture. Sorry Again Mac Freaks. Your days are history. Yes, for many years you dominated the pack when it came to processor power and speed. But those days are gone. Watch XEON dominate us all. Steve Jobs is the wool king, and he pulled it well. You didnt think it would last did you? I mean, as soon as Athlon ( remember American Micro Devices? ) broke away from designing chips for Pentium years and years ago, and after their embarrasing attempt at continuing the Socket 7 technology ( K6-2 ) and their subsequent Athlon pocessors that meet and beat Peniums mspeed monopoly, it has been a never ending battle between the two companies to outdo eachther. MAC on the other hand have no direct competition for their market, and with so many Mac heads lost in a cloud of Mac blindness, they have no need to invest the millions it takes to come out with a new processor every month. Athlon and Pentium have been doing it non stop for 3 years now, and they have surpassed MAC real fast. Now as they leave them in the dust and break into hyperthreading.. well, lets just say WHY WERE THERE NEVER MAC COMMERCIALS BEFORE like the ones we have now? hehe. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 8:09pm | ||

| PC Graphic Designer! | BINGO!!! I've been a PC user for 13 years. As a graphic designer, MAC snobs have always looked down their noses at me! However, I accomplish just as much, just as fast and just as professionally with one mega graphics package (CorelDraw - $1,000) than any MAC. I am able to make use of my clients' files because they are all generated on PC's and this saves them money and me time!I am also able to save virtually all my files in MAC format to forward to other designers or print shops that are MAC based. Too bad they can't do the same for me!!! A client of mine who has a MAC is constantly sending me files that she can't open so that I can convert them into a format she can read! CorelDraw has been acclaimed in many trade publications as being far superior, much more versatile and all encompassing than any of the MAC based programs. Yet still I get looked down upon. However, my service bureau and printshop, which service both MAC and PC files have never had any problems with my files. - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 8:53pm | ||
| Anonymous | its just fun to rile up the mac heads, especially now that the PC's are faster and cheaper, something Jobs promised them would never happen :) - Tue, 3 Jun 2003 8:57pm | ||

| some girl... | hey King Bong! You asked me where do all the punks hang out now that Soundgarden is no more? Come on, that's easy: punks hang out where ever King Bong plays (heee heee hhheee! I just said that to make your morning even more special). I hang out at home: dress up like a slut, contemplate getting drunk and usually end up at the Garricks' Head Pub. Unfortunatly, everyone knows me there (because of the scenes that I make) so I have to tame down. So sometimes I alternate the Garricks with the Old Baily. I still have to give Thursdays/Logans a lot of credit for providing a decent place to go to. Unfortunatly, I can't think of any extreme places to go to. Lucky=house music, Thursdays=hipsters, Hush=very bad bad heathenism, evolution= ummm, I don't go there anymore since it brings back bad memories/black outs... Steamers= bongo drums and hippies (usually not so much in the day though: I actually timed their appearance to 8:37). I guess there isn't any place dedicated to punk??? May be I'll be cool and hang out at Subway or the City Hall? I dunno... (I'm obviously being sarcasitic about Subway etc.) - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 11:06am | ||
| Some girl | oh, hey: an epiphany: punks aren't supposed to have a place to hang out, are they? Isn't old school punk "not belonging"?? hmmm, I guess that's a can of worms. - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 11:20am | ||

| some girl... | When I started going to Hush I never considered it an actual "gay bar." I don't know why this is. I usually have more fun there than any other place, but when I called the actual bar basically a den of heathenism (not the sexual preference there) I was saying that b/c it's packed full of kids high on drugs that they found under the kitchen sink and such. I used to love going to the Limit though... - Wed, 4 Jun 2003 12:09pm | ||
