PSYCHOcatholic Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 WE LOVE POLLS! This is just a random one...its a complete Hey im bored thing...and i just got a GREAT idea for a post! This one is for Operating Systems! Which would you RATHER be using? SO, the point of this post is just to post random polls like i just did, im pretty sure you can do it. Its not a game, but it would be pretty cool to see some of the crazy stuff we can come up with! Skys the Limit!
Levis Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I'm the second voter! Edna... I bet you're the one who voted Mac... thereby making Windows preferred by just 50%! Never used Linux... tried... but failed miserably... darn thing didn't work! Cute penguin
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 No, first vote isn´t mine, Radh... I just voted... Mac... just cause I´m on Mac... The problem with mac is they don´t support many thinks, so having a Mac means having also a PC... I know Rachel, Kevin, Carl... anybody else? has Mac...
Levis Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Must've been Psy, then. Paul! Was that you? does that mean I'm the technical first vote? Do I get a prize? I should get a prize. What's my prize? Ooo... still at an agonising tie!
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 aha, mac in winning! and edna, what do they not support? I never felt the need for a pc and I hate the fact that I have to use one at work. I have been trying to teach myself to use Lyx instead of word, which is based on LaTEX (no jokes), and is has been working better on mac than pc.
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 rachel just voted, making the total 3 so it must be someone else
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I can´t have Google Earth on mac, for instance... nor open many files... nor see that world map where we registered...
Foxy Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I voted Windows, because I don't use anything else.
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 no you are right, google earth does not work on mac, and neither can google talk. but i can see the map we registered on, so i think it's a problem with you having macos 9. don't you have anyone who can lend you an upgrade cd? i managed to get hold of tiger from a friend, i will be installing it this weekend when my boyfriend brings his removable hardrive to back-up my stuff, so my mac should be as good as new
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I cannot update my mac cause some of the design programs my husband works with won´t work with OSX... I tried two years ago but then we had to get some new programs and it´s more complicated for me than going to the PC and open things there.
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 see, but that says something about macs! your husband uses design programs that only work on mac, scientists tend to use macs more too-one of the most heavily used programs for my field is designed for macs!
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I know, that´s why I don t care to upgrade mine... besides, mac is solid and virusproof... plus other things I´m not really aware as I always had mac... I even worked on the little blue mac which existed some twenty years ago... it was beautifull. So as I don´t use msn nor chat nor other stuff, I it´s fine for me. I use word to write though I used quark before... yes, it´s good for text...
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 This one is the classic first one... early 90s... by that time it was rather this or the complicated system from PCs... there was no windows then.
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I remember a computer with a green monitor from when i was little. i used to play games on it that were saved on these massive disks. how times have changed!
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I never played games when I was a kid, I´m much too old for that... but I remember my little sister playing video games with the TV monitor... then she had to reset the TV each time after the videogame...
PSYCHOcatholic Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 Tis true...i voted Mac! Ill admit...ive never had one but i wish i did. Windows just isnt stable enough...sometimes Mac can crash...Linux barely crashes. Its because Windows spends too much money Dollin it up! Mac JUST started coming out with really good looking computer while windows was coming out with more and more versions...mac was spending the time and energy to make the perfect stable operating system you see today. Granted you cant use alot of things with Mac, but it seems alot of companies are working to resolve that issue.
PSYCHOcatholic Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) Oh...and...I MISS DOS AND WINDOWS 3.1!!! I mean...i had a COMMODORE when i was younger...a COMMODORE! How many people remember those? Edited November 3, 2005 by Guest
katie_sane Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Ah yes, a Commodore 64, had one of those too!
Crazy Don Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Windows. But if I had my druthers, I'd rather run Linux…but then I'd be confused because I'm so used to Windows…
edna Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 Actually Windows is just a copy of the Mac system. It was fine using windows on a PC for the first time as it´s very easy, it tells you what you have to do and where to click instead of translating those f1, f2, f3, etc... I never used Linux, I don´t know what it´s good for...
invisible_r Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 but linux is so complicated! My boyfriend uses Linux and it just looks so difficult with all the having to type commands for everything!
The Seeker Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I voted Windows. (although I've never used anything else) I remember that some friend of mine used to have a computer, ten years ago or something, and he always had to type DIR in so it'd start. For some reason it scared me, I was really frightened of that thing.
Lucky Posted November 3, 2005 Report Posted November 3, 2005 I went to this thread thinking oh, a bunch of polls. Simple right? No. Just one.

For some reason it scared me, I was really frightened of that thing. That would be DOS...you had to use it to start Windows 3.1
