You mean html. and well, I thought irc died out about a decade ago. The ones I've just had a look at all are all .exe's and require a conversion software, while this is fairly easy to do, it's still not as good as a .dmg program.

If you didn't have a mac compatible program to recommend you could have just said so without being a cock about it.

oh lawd

alright fags, here's the tl;dr: macs are shit because

>a $2,000 macintosh computer on average consists of $500 worth of parts
>you can buy parts online and build your own pc that is better than a mac for like $300, even your dad who thinks video games cause viruses could do this with some google effort
>you have absolutely zero excuse to want a mac because you pretty much have to be the laziest piece of shit in the world to pay thousands of dollars for something so easy to make yourself for a fraction of the price
>apple is seriously a troll company that plays on its trendiness to troll people into paying out the ass for a logo
>even if you wanted a mac for mac-specific software, 99% of that shit is for professional photographers/web developers and you're just a hipster with no actual skills

I could go on all day about this shit, if you think there is even a real "debate" about whether pc is better than mac, you are retarded

All of that seems to revolve around money, and being cheaper to have to build yourself.

I don't want to build anything myself.
I have plenty of money and don't find the price of macs a problem.

Bull-fucking-shit. People like you go onto newegg and compare modular desktop CPUs to proprietary soldered-on Laptop CPUs without taking into consideration the miniaturization and labor required to get the same amount power.

The Samsung Series 9 and Levono Ultrabook thinkpad, both of which compete with the Macbook Air, are more expensive for weaker specs.

http://hothardware.com/Reviews/Is-The-Apple-Tax-Real-Mac-vs-PC-Pricing-Compared/


"In the end, we found each Apple machine to cost more than a similarly equipped PC counterpart, with the baseline Mac Pro being the exception. Usually the delta is around $50 to $150, and even that can be mitigated by using an educational discount or otherwise finding a deal from one of the many Mac e-tailers out there. Furthermore, each new Mac comes with $99 off of a printer, and there actually is a $99 printer you can select; so, if you need a new printer, that's an imputed $99 total system savings.

In conclusion, yes, most Apple machines cost a bit more than similar PC counterparts. But if you put a great deal of value on longer battery life, generally improved resistance to viruses, eye-catching designs that use high-quality materials, and will make use of the robust iLife '11 software suite, then the tax--if you can even call it that--is worth paying. The real take-away here is that there's no reason to argue whether or not the Apple Tax is worthwhile; it will always be a case-by-case value-based decision for each consumer. Depending on your needs, one product or the other will or won't make sense."

The price difference isn't as large as PCfags think.
