ONE of the web browsers. I know, I know, but the way you said it made it sound like there was only one.

Sigh.... I now officially despise macs. Not the programming or look... the hardware and expense for shitty peices of shit. My laptop broke the first year I had it. That was the 3rd mac in our house broken withought reason in about a year and a half :? . Macs are just made to break down and force you into switching to PCs.... thats almost what they seem like.

Personally I don't care if you hate macs, windows, linux, or pretty much anything, but I'll tell you this: insulting macs is a good way to get people mad at you on this forum.

While we were in New York, I used a Mac again.

I lurve that little pop-upthing at the bottom with the programs you'd use most. I could really use that. If I had that, my desktop would have no icons ;)

As for the web browser, I'll stick with Opera.

My dad is the only one in the house that uses Macs

They are great work computers as far as I know.

i use a mac mini running OSX 10.4

I've never used a better compy ^_^

It runs on a pentium 2 processor so programs native to windows run really fast on it and the best part is how small it is. About 7" x 7" x 2"

Here's a pic. That slot is for cd's so that gives you an idea of the size ^_^

that's the hard drive there. You just hook up a monitor, key board, and mouse and there you go.

The only downside is that PPC macs lack decent processors…

…and intel macs won't run OS9…

…which sucks.

I have a PPC sans Classic. Apparently I accidentally deleted it one day. Meh, I'll get it again if I need it; for now, Oni's OS X port means I have no Classic needs right now. ^_^
