i'm sick and tired of all these jony-come-latelys who started using a mac in 2010 and think its the best, as if it hasn't always been the best

this is a safe space to talk about the old days of mac os when it was still good and had file type/creator codes, a lack of filename extensions because they're stupid when you have type/creator codes, resedit, and the spatial finder

pre intel macs were loving useless garbage, and if you willingly purchased one it's indicative of extreme fail disease and broken brain syndrome. looking forward to this honeypot thread to identify all the extremely stupid people ITF (in this forum)

op has it backwards, if you used macs before the return of steve (pbuh) you were the idiot. if you used them anytime after, you had seen the light and are now part of the future that apple has created and that everyone else rips off.
