Had to reformat - Page 4

Avatard · 01-26-2010, 01:25 PM

Fanboy? That can only be directed at me. Maybe you missed the part about Windows, and Linux, and need to go back and read for comprehension. I used to be a PC consultant. I am not a fan of ANY motherfucking computers [anymore]. I never even said the shit would last longer than 5 fucking minutes (someone mentioned longevity). I wish people would stop projecting their Mac fears onto me.

I just said that you plug that fucking shit in, and it works, and that leaves ME to get back to what the fuck it was I was doing...living my life.

In particular this resonates with me as it has to do with my sheer motherfucking disdain for the literally thousands of hours I've lost in my fucking lifetime to badly made hardware, badly written software, and stupid incompatibilities.

FUCK building PCs out of parts, and FUCK getting proprietary shit from assholes.

Apple finally went Intel, full-industry-standard hardware, and their shit WORKS. It works, it's quiet, it costs 18 watts to run when it throttles back - what's not to love?

But trust me, fanboy I'm not. I'm sooooo not a fan of computers, that my studio will feature a RADAR system from Otari. For those who don't know what that is, it's basically a "tapeless tape machine". While in the box you will find a PC, it runs all proprietary shit, and has just STOP, REW, PLAY, FF, REC transport controls.

No plug-ins, no emulators, no updates, no conflicts, just a big fat red button to hit, when you wanna stick fucking music in the box.

I will have a computer (running ProTools and Logic), but it will be OFF most of the time music is being made (Via a lightpipe>IEEE1394 interface, the RADAR actually dumps right into the computer for mixing and editing)

Do I sound like a fucking computer fanboy?

That is the other problem with fanboi's, they think the whole world is directing hate at them only.

I did read your whole post about failing clone hardware, and have never experienced any hardware failures in over 15 years of working with and using PCs. But you don't see me shoving that in everyones face.

Mac users are as annoying and in your face as PETA.

So.... does that make you a PC fanboi?

You must be the exception. Pretty much everyone I know with a PC (storebought or custom built) has had at least a hard drive fail on em. I know of 1 mac user that this happened to.

Nope, I don't praise PCs in every random thread about computers. Find me a thread about computers that does not have a Mac fan 'offering' their opinion on why Macs are better.

Avatard · 01-26-2010, 02:34 PM

Funny thing is, all my personal computers (mostly Macs) boot into Windows by default.

Karl, sorry but your Mac fanboi bullshit is just way off the mark.

Did you ever consider, however, the POSSIBILITY that everyone says shit is better because, um, well, it is?

Avatard · 01-26-2010, 02:36 PM

I think Karl secretly has Mac envy. That's a rather suspect amount of hostility, bud.

t-homo · 01-26-2010, 03:00 PM

Think about it, its like Aprilias and Hyosungs. One of the two has tons of fanbois, one doesn't. One is better, one isn't.

format, you had to format.

Reformat isnt really a process. Its just formatting a HDD. Just because its been done more than once, doesnt mean it needs an re in front of it!

Sorry, pet peeve!
