Haven't spent much time in Louisiana, have you?

Drive-thru Daiquiri Huts. Yep, lived there.

No, and I consider that to be a positive thing. Much like "never having had an STD" and "not having had much dental reconstruction surgery."

The audience of the Windows 10 unveiling... there seems to be a common thread among the people attending... (yes it's on Reddit, commence the rustling of jimmies)

What's that? Media types use what's hip and trendy? Huh, never would have guessed.

Um, Bachelors in Computer Science with a MacBook here.*

*Started out as journalism major. Mac caused me to have to use the labs a lot.

PatrThom · Jan 21, 2015

Standard PCs - can run Windows and *nix.
Mac computer - can run Windows, *nix and OS X.

I'm assuming that's all it is.

That story sounds to me like a ski pro having to rent his skis and poles constantly for years because all owned on his first day was a toboggan.

Why would anyone pay the apple tax for a laptop and then not run OS X?

Tell you what. I'll give you 10 bucks for every laptop in that audience running windows if you give me 1 for each one running OS X.

I'm not saying I understand why someone would do it, but I will say I've seen it fairly often.
"Are you saying you want to dual-boot with Windows? Like with Parallels or Boot Camp?" "No, I just need it to be a pure Windows machine."
THEN WHY DID YOU BUY A MAC :confused:

Do I have to include the phones? Cuz if so that's waaay tilted towards you.

Hey, it's what I'd do (I always prioritize maximum versatility). But I realize I'm not typical.

If I want to game, I'm on Windows. If I want to crunch numbers, I'm on linux. If I want to get shit done, which is probably what a journalist wants, I'm on my Mac, no question. Plus, there's the fact that a Macbook is physically built like a tank, which makes it an awesome conference laptop.

I can tell you none of the "shit" that gets "done" at this office, or the office of any other job I've ever held ever was done on a Mac OS.

They sure are neat for making home movies and posters and stuff though.

Well, I mean, I can counter the opposite, so anecdotes and all that.

Alright. Here's some non-anecdotal sauce then, about why Macs are still a single digit share of the personal computer market.

Yeah it was definitely unpleasant, but not awful. It was probably for the best that I wasn't working where I lived anyways. I also definitely wasn't about to spend another $1000 on a laptop after dropping ~$2000 a year and a half before.

Argument flow violation error.
You said you get shit done on macs.
I pointed out most professionals get shit done on windows based systems.
You said my point was based on anecdotal evidence that you could contradict with your own.
I provided non-anecdotal link in reference to businesses still doing shit on windows, not mac.
Now you're trying to say that the link I posted doesn't disprove that you, yourself, do your shit on a mac.

Getting Shit Done on Windows is the overwhelming standard.
Getting Shit Done on Mac is statistical anomaly.
That you personally do so does not change that.[DOUBLEPOST=1421882106,1421882016][/DOUBLEPOST]

I also have to chuckle at the implicit acknowledgement of the apple tax... that it takes $2000 of mac to match $1000 of PC.

That was a re-railing of your flow violation. You were trying to JCM the argument by pushing it to something it was never about, and I pointed out that this really isn't what I was talking about. Whether other people get shit done on a Mac, and whether it's a statistical anomaly has nothing to do with my original point.

Then let me rephrase my initial reply to you -

"I get shit done on a mac"

"You are wierd and not statistically relevant."

If that's what you meant by that, it was as clear as mud.

Linux - Do everything yourself. Have fun.
Windows - It's the way your dad did it, and it was good enough for him!
Mac - Get good results with little effort, ~~as long as it doesn't break~~ but expensive to service.

I've actually been thinking of getting a straight razor. Seems like a rather manly thing to do.

At my old barber's, he'd always take a straight razor to my sideburns. Felt nicely tingly. I've often wondered if I can reproduce the effect if I do it myself.

From what I hear, make sure you practice on a lathered balloon before you actually try it on your face. Because that shit will peel you like a blood-engorged grape at the slightest errant twitch.
