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

Smythe posted:that parts irrelevent - they sucked b/c they were dog slow and had no software. here to help, OP they didn't magically get more software when they switched, they would have gotten more software either way macs are popular because the apple retail stores made it really easy to buy a mac and the ipod/iphone got people in the store
