So once more people start using macs, all you will have is a bunch of programs you paid for that you didn't need, even worse that pre-made PCs and windows, that you can't upgrade, and mac can only fix, and has viruses. Hope you enjoy your investment.

Macs are not any better than PCs, in-fact they are worse. The only thing good about them is that they don't get viruses and are slightly, very slightly, better at digital art. The ONLY reason they don't get viruses is because NO ONE USES THEM! So people don't bother making viruses for them.

Going by the standard Apple markup scheme (+100% then round up to the nearest 'nice' number), the Mac Sentry would cost 375 metal. If anything, targeting range would be decreased due to undervolted components and below-par optical input. Gun sacrifices power for quiet operation.

Wow, Mac. Chill out. Everyone knows Macs are inferior to PCs. I swear to god, if Apple's products weren't shiny and sleek people wouldn't give a shit.

For an iMac's hardware. Also, you're full of shit. We all know that while Apple users don't have to "upgrade" their computers (Oh, I don't know, probably because they CAN'T?), your kind are always more than willing to shell out another several thousand for another sexy new apple iShit to keep with

[url=#user_comment_32931]@TheBaron87[/url]: Any computer regardless of OS or company can be hacked, and you've only proven yourself more ignorant than Black by implying that Apple products do not. However, since most of the people with information worth stealing have PC's, there's really no point in wasting time making a virus

@Black Dragon: Hurf durf all PCs gets viruses and I can buy one Mac and never have to upgrade it for the rest of time. Do you even realize how ignorant you sound?

Personally I'd rather have a relatively expensive Mac that fits my needs (Graphic Arts) than a "cheap" PC that's filled with viruses and needs upgrades every couple of years that will end up equaling the Macs price anyway. :D

Macs are nice. Macs have less strength then a PC but they use it more efficiently. The thing is they cost a crap load more then a PC and are only worth it if you can get it for a "Steal" of a price ;) If ya know what im sayin.

The Mac vs PC thing has always hit me as a misnomer. The acronym PC stands for "Personal Computer." So, a person that owns a Mac computer owns and uses it personally, making it their "Personal Computer." But I suppose "UNIX Based PC" vs "Windows Based PC" doesn't quite roll off the tongue.

Actually sounds like a fairly simple designe, and I wouden't be suprised if something similar was used in the Engie update.
Also, Don't you know that every Mac comes free with a turtleneck and a small Latte? That's where her new sweater came from. Duh.
