heartagram Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 The way I see it, Macs are like modified Volkswagens. If your into them you understand and love them.

Dark Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 well reading this makes me appreciate how fast technology moves.and i remember thinking the big "turbo" button on the front of my pc was cool that boosted the processor from 8mhz to 16mhz. and there was a big digital green lit readout on the case that confirmed indeed you had gone from 8 to 16mhz.

ArosaMike Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Mine is truely ancient now. I can't afford a new one till I start working (again) which will be about 10 months TBH though, I don't really need anything better at the moment since it manages to run all the games I play (rFactor, Live For Speed and Half Life 2) just fine.
