Madness does not always howl. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, "Hey, is there room in your head for one more?"

I love how the mac people complain that those are one-sided lies and you can do all that stuff on a Mac.

*All* the mac commercials are one sided lies!

Yeah, that too. But there's also the commercials about Vista that are crap. I'm not a vista fan but making it seem like every PC must be painstakingly upgraded to run Vista is a joke. If someone has an old computer, sure they may have to upgrade, but it's easy to add more RAM. Or you could just buy an entirely new PC and not have to upgrade. Or you could just not upgrade.

When OS X came out, I'm pretty sure many Mac users either had to upgrade their older mac or buy a totally new one to run it.

Those commercials were funny at first when they were advertising what a Mac could do. Now they've become nothing more than PC/Windows bashing commercials. Some of them don't even mention anything that a Mac can do, they just bash windows for the whole thing.

Well I know for certain that Apple does say from time to time "only this level of hardware and above can install this OS".

And that people have circumvented that restriction and gotten the newer OS onto older hardware anyway (artificial restriction just so that people have the experience that Apple thinks you should)
And gone.
