And yet we were totally content with the stuff we had in the 90's. SNES, latterly the N64.

Plus we had The KLF! Yeah. Don't get them anymore! Madder than a Box of Frogs!

I don't see what that's supposed to prove. I know guys that still use walkmans because they find tapes to have a cleaner sound than a compressed audio file on an mp3 player.


Thats actually not true. Tape recordings weren't compressed but they had a limited capacity for recording sound. High bitrate digital audio sounds better with a fuller, more capable audio range then tape was really capable of at the time. A lot of that has to do with the recording methods used while tapes were in vogue though, magnetic strips are capable of giving basically any range of audio(As well as doing basically everything else if you design it right (they just didn't because high end magnetic tape recording and manufacture is stupid expensive)).

Also I can surf the internet. Remember the internet? Oh, your going back to the nineties. Have fun with that!

Yogurt, Pudding, and Applesauce all came in -real- portions. None of this 'one spoonful and you're done' crap. I miss when yogurt and pudding came in the white plastic bowls with thick tinfoil lids. Thank the space emprah that Applesauce still comes packaged like that

no, in fact. And when know-it-all holier-than-thou types such as yourself show up, they are usually extinguished rather quickly, I prefer it.

Now THAT was good TV. Honestly, I'm suprised they lasted for the whole 2 seasons that they did. Watching those shows now, there're so many obvious, inappropriate, adult jokes on those shows that it's a wonder my friends and I didn't all grow up to be full-on perverts

You really need to be on a team that badly?

it has nothing to do with needing to be on a team, man. You team is chosen for you by what computer you have. I live and work in a city that is extremely divided, as is my school. Apple and PC are like perisa and sparta in Seattle. Not only do I live in Seattle, I study and work in the high tec/gaming/animation production area, where what computer you use is VITALLY important.

You're a 19 year old hater that just started going to a design college and decided to rebel against the "norm". It's not hard to get it.



For reference the Ipod is the third MP3 player I've owned. The first was a sandisk, the second was a zune. You're just a fanboi that externalizes hate that has no logical basis or reason. We're in this exact same conversation in another thread in fact! I'm also attending likely what is either the same or a very similar major at my college. We have the same platform war. You're just not enough of an adult to rise above it.

You point me to swathes of Britain forced to depend upon the State under Blair and we'll talk. But part of my feels you must have spent your youth entirely in the South East, i.e. where Thatcher channelled all the money too, telling everyone else to get knotted. Vicious little right wing mare that she was.

BUT! Crashing on! This is a subject for PM, nes pas?

Im 23 and in my 3rd year of a BFA in Media Arts and animation at very nice school, following an Associates in Business, you ass. Get off your high horse and go feth yourself.

It's not just hate. It's dislike of extreme proprietary design in both software and hardware, it's exorbitant overpricing, it's lack of user-based modification and repair, it's the alienation of it's users, etc.

rise above it? like I go an badmouth every mac user I see? no...take the piss out of some dbag online that has a iPhone? definitely.
