I got tired of the stupid useless GWX process running in the background, have heard enough horror stories about it, and clearly don't have the hardware for it; also I don't like where MS is going with interfaces (not every computer is a tablet!). So I am going to stick with Windows 7. If they stop supporting it, I will install Linux on this bad boy, too.

I doubt it's going to run well on this aging hardware, and seems like getting it requires having a Mac of your own. Plus I really, really hate the Mac interface. I can't believe it's 2016 and they still haven't done mouse buttons properly.

And if you use a mouse with two distinct buttons and a scroll wheel in the middle, pretty much the standard for any modern PC, you don't find yourself repeatedly "right-clicking" when you distinctly wanted to left-click, a recurring problem with demoing games.

I use my Mac for coding and my windows for gaming

only because I learned UNIX and having the command line feature in android studio rules

and you can only write iOS apps on Mac

so

your operating system is a piece of poo poo

I don't understand why ppl like coding on macs. it's equally as bad if not worse than windows. like what's the point of having a Bash cli that doest support apt.

1) professors at least in my uni do everything in unix and they wanted us doing it all by sshing into the uni's unix server for the first year so we can get used to working in that kind of environment and it's annoying to do in putty from windows

2) MacBooks are super nice and high quality and last forever so it has great value

3) i work for apple so i got a $2000 mbp for $850 so that was pretty much the deal breaker lol

when i was a child i heard the elders tell stories of the mythical isiah who was known for his heroism and death in the great wars. the last piece of his body was kept by monks who worshiped him and made him a saint
