Nintendo Gaming / RE: REV's appearance and marketing
« on: April 10, 2005, 01:54:20 PM »
Ok now you are forcing me to...
There are two possible reasons that your Dell is slow...
1. You bought a 600 dollar machine and are comparing it to a 2k machine in a Mac.
2. You don't know how to take care of your computer.
We can't argue appearances as that is all just opinion... but the fact that you think Apple's last longer just shows how much you don't know. Apple's may _seem_ to last longer only because it is a very closed box system. You can't touch it.. upgrade wise.... and most people don't even install any new software other than stuff that is mass marketed and tested.
People who use PCs just don't have any concept of what a computer is. Its something that runs programs. period. You get your nice shiny PC and then install any number of piece of crap software off the internet until it slows to a crawl...then chalk it up to the computer's fault. I'm running a windows based machine that the central parts are over 5 year's old... You show me a 5 year old Mac and my machine will blow its doors off. I can render the same frames in Maya in half the time of a freaking G4 for christ sake and thats only 1 generation ago.
Anyway, to make a long story short, Macs are awesome little machines for what they do. They are idiot proof and pretty. If you want a machine that is actually powerful, you don't buy a Mac. You buy a PC and maybe learn a thing or two about it.

for wanting the Rev to be an overpriced fashion accessory.
Come on now, thats friggen sweet. The way it is now (which I admittedly am somewhat victim to) is that the touch screen has been out for a while, there have been a few really fun games on it, but now people are intrigued by the capabilities of the PSP. This same argument can be made with the whole X-Box Live vs. Nintendo first party titles thing. Many of us, as Nintendo gamers, are craving online support, yet I know several an X-Box fan who used to be Live fanatics that barely log onto it anymore.
