I agree, everyone is intolerant of something somewhere along the line and if its something minor and wholly irrelevant as it is with the vast majority of people then fair enough. There is, however, absolutely no excuse for marginalising an entire group of people based on a disturbingly prejudiced and misguided premise.

Or move it to waffle, as this is a thread of many topics.

I dont think so. There can be specific people you dont like, but deciding an entire group of people are worthy of contempt is not normal.


you seem to be being pretty intolerant of intolerant people at the moment ;)

I for example am intolerant of Apple Mac computers. There, now were back on topic :)

apple macs so hard to use?!

I hate college ):


I dont find them hard to use, then again Ive never bothered using one for more than a couple of minutes....

I do use an Apple keyboard though, at least some of the time.

FWIW I think the keyboard on the £1200 Macbook pro isnt fit to grace a £300 Acer laptop.


Really? I frickin love my MBP keyboard.

Its not even as good as my work Dell keyboard, and miles behind the IBM ones. Its just splodgy membrane. For that amount of money, fancy aluminium case and all, Id want something better than average. If Leica made laptops, their UltraLap Pro would be £5999 and the keyboard would be heavenly (and last for decades).


Ive got an original XT IBM keyboard. Proper mechanical keys FTW.

The thin Apple keyboards are quite good, providing you dont connect them to a mac...

I would just like to point out i disconnected the nipple mouse in the first day, and connected a wireless pc type mouse and it improved my productivity by 20% as proven by the scientists that live only in my mind!  :rock:

Yes, I am (: so really apart from all the bitching, this is now, pretty much useless (:

And, the problem with that is I dont have permission to download firefox on the college computers, but I use it at home, on my nice and easy to use vista lappity (:

Cmd-Space is your friend. Get used to using Spotlight and youll never go near the apps folder again.

End of the day we can all argue about all this for months.

Ball point thing is - What works for you is the thing that works best!
The thing to remember though is to not NOT like other software or products because your a fanboy or you like the one your using so much. If you not tried it that especially pisses me off. IF your a person who does not know things exist or has not looked at something new or something else and who just dismisses at crap out right, then your an idiot. Keep and open mind, try things out, try and see what is out there.
But yeah, If it works for you and you have tried other things but prefer the thing your using - Great!

Tbh I think you both need to practice what you preach. Nexus, take the advice you have given Sam and re-read what you posted. Sam does learn things, as I am sure you do (after all he did to to america to study computing or something...) Attitude wise, tbh both stink at times, specifically when you two come to heads. Neither of you are innocent of throwing the first "forum" punch.

And pretty much you guys just prove each other right every time you post this crap, so the sooner you stop, the sooner itll be over :P


Im offended by that. I dont care what Nexus says as his posts show him to be an idiot. But my posts, whether or not you agree with my points, are at least coherent and intelligent.


I didnt say yours werent, I said that your posts are just as bad for other reasons, its a different writing stile but its still insulting to the other party. And by posts I am referring to pretty much your discussions with nexus and vice versa, both of you can and do usually post useful informative stuff, just not when you are directly "communicating" with each other on the forum :P


Im even more insulted you class Nexus and I in the same breath :)
Its like saying Ronaldo and a sunday pub footballer are equally qualified to comment on football.

I hate vista, still use XP, or, occasionally, Linux, but it looks like Windoze 7 is going to be what it should have been on release... :prays hard:
