i know, but i think the lakers faired better overall in the eighties. great games though, im sure i watched every one between the lakers and celtics. they dont make basketball like that anymore, lol. it is lame these days. nothing even close to a larry bird or majic johnson. oh well have to get the old games on dvd or something.Matt Smith said:Careful now, it went both ways!

Boy ain't that the truth. I would HEARTILY recommend the new "Dynasty Series" (I think they're called) DVD box sets. AWESOME. I got the Celtics one, and it has several games plus a bunch of documentaries/specials/interviews/etc. Perfect for a dork like me. I'm also buying the old Finals on DVD off eBay; finally found some.

and if it's true, then you probably installed some Microsoft product on it, or try to use cracked programs or something else wrong.
and in no way, shape or form will i EVER believe, and it's likely the PC users of this forum won't either, that your PC laptop never crashes. sorry, you can't sell cookies to a Girl Scout, you can't kid a kidder, and you ain't foolin' this long time dual platform user either.
All computers crash.... but in 12 years of using both Windows and Mac boxes, the amount and severity of crashes is orders of magnitude less on the Apple side of things. this is all relative of course to proper maintanence... a PC must be defragged and optimized, and have clean installs of Windows done periodically to even be usable... Macs have their own maintanence requirements as well. i keep all my machines fine-tuned and this is the trend i have noticed, both in my own computers and with those of my peers... audio pros, all of them. if you keep your laptop sorted and the Macs you have had experience with were not properly maintained, then yes, you will likely see more crashes on such Macs. Keep a Mac's discs and OS maintained properly, and it will hardly ever crash. PC crashes too can be kept down with proper management, but don't say yours NEVER crashes... because if that's true i only have one question: So, how come you've never turned it on yet?

Come on, let's not go there. You KNOW the thread's gonna fall to the dogs. Let's just say everyone's had different experiences. I'm running a very meagre old Athlon rig and the only time I get crashes is when I overload my session with too many VSTs, so my PC serves me fine as it is (well, apart from the fact that it's too slow).

Cubase, definitely.
Had a hard time switching over from old VST to new SX, but now it's a relief and very comfortable to work...

I recently aquired a PC. The first thing I did was fortmat the harddrive and install a fresh copy of XP Pro.
Within 5 of dial-up (downloading Zone Alarm and Firefox) I already got a worm. It wasn't an easy fix from what I read on McAfee and other resources, so I downloaded everything I needed and copied all the installs to a partition and reformatted... Now no problems.
But I still can't wait to get a G5. So much nicer.

Everyone I know with a PC is going through worm hell constantly. There is no cure, long term, new worms are being created before anti-virus and anti-spyware programs can keep up. You can have a PC sit on an internet connection with no programs open and no browser windows open, and spyware will find its way onto the computer SOMEHOW over the wire. It's fucking amazing, but I've put this to the test and it's 100% true.
Yeah, it's a crazy world on the internet these days. I haven't owned a PC in two years, and spyware was starting to get big when I moved out.Kazrog said:
I found this computer in the alley, 533mHz, but hey, it'll surf the net and MSN fine haha. I've been using G4's and G5's at school the past couple years and I'm very use to the OS now and think I'm going to switch since I like it better and you don't have to deal with so much shit.
I definately wouldn't doubt the no programs open and getting worms though. Spybot and Adaware couldn't delete the one I got, it'd quarantine it, but it would happen all over again when I started it up again. It would even rewrite itself into the registry if you went in and deleted it.

Get a cheap junk machine for the internet, PC's are so cheap these days that you can pick up a awesome pc for under $500AUD which would be fine for the internet.

it never crashed. Well i bought it 7 months ago but I´ve been using it a lot. I´ve tweaked it a lot also, windows xp-wise.
You said it all: Maintenance. wheter pc or mac, that ´s the deal.
What i don´t appreciate is some people considering pc as the bible, and some other mac, as the bhagavad. And then...war will happen

So you'd suggest downloading software updates and burning them to CD on another machine... that still doesn't mean you'll be immune to spyware, worms, viruses etc. This is a lot of trouble to go to for little or no gain.
