You know...in my high school we had 1 Mac. It was used by the newspaper people. Some of the teachers knew that I could find my way around a computer and I knew Macs well enough. I'd say 8 out of 10 times they'd call me in to fix something, it was that fucking Mac. Yes...they are great for some things. But PCs will always have them beat when it comes to general usage. And obviously not all of them are crap...but they seem to have a much higher rate of problems than other brands.

Another huge problem with Apple is their proprietary formats. iTunes uses AAC format which doesn't like to be transfered to any non-Apple devices and their computers can only run on Apple-designed software (unless someone takes the time to adapt PC software to Mac specs). Remember when MS got sued for having a monopoly? Yeah...why doesn't someone sue Mac? They're obviously trying to control the market of their platform with proprietary formatting. Face it...Apple is bullshit. Anything that can't be used on any machine without special software (like AAC) is total crap. Try transfering your shitty iTunes to another MP3 player and see how they work. Here's a hint: they won't. Apple just fucked you and you're thanking them for the pleasure. Well played sir...well played.
