OT: Why a Mac never crashes

I came across this on another video forum I subscribe to and knew that I had to share it.
Enjoy :-)

The thing that amuses me is the state of denial some Mac owners live in.
I have personally witnessed a powerbook crash while I was talking to the person so I asked "Does it do that often?"

She replied "Do what often?"

"Crash like that".

"Like what? It didn't crash."

"You just had to cycle the power because it stopped responding."

"No I didn't. My laptop never crashes."

"Sorry, My mistake."

I've had many a MAC crash on me.
People said because it didn't give me the Blue Screen Of Death that it did not crash.
My @$$!!!

They either give me a BLACK Screen Of Death or the Spinning Beach Ball... to me that's a CRASH.

MACs are computers. Yes, they crash.
(plus they are so under-powered and way overdue for an upgrade to their lineup)

Thing is: with PCs there are just way too many configurations that people 'put together'.
With a MAC most of the Hardware Configurations are known and not changeable to the extent of a PC... that's when/where PC problems come into play.

When I stopped goofing with 'Home-Built' PCs and jumped back into the HP Workstations... most all my problems went away.
(AVID techs wouldn't even touch my Home-Built systems because they weren't supported... now I see why)

"Get a life and quit whining already."

You actually took the time to write what you did and you're telling others to get a life???

I can run Vegas, Premiere and Avid Media Composer on a PC and I have no need or desire to run FCP, therefore, there is no reason whatsoever for me to buy a Mac. Your needs may be different.

I was at an Apple Store in Costa Mesa couple days ago, and they had a bunch of iPads on display.

The software appears to be the same type deal as the Touch, but of course with a bigger screen.

So I asked one of the employees what the screen resolution was and he said "I have to go look that up".

But PC's are not susceptible to dullards. :)

=======================================
I would say that they are not susceptible to Windows rot (LOL), and there is no equivalent problem.
