So... I'm sitting here at my desk, MacBook Air in front of me. What about my iMac? Well...

A while back, when I first mentioned I was getting the damned thing, the first thing I got from people online was pretty much "lulz, you bought overpriced hardware". Effectively instant hate because I bought a Mac. However, I got it for $130 with free shipping. Overpriced my ass.

Compare that to getting parts for the Dell XPS tower I have, with the need for a new power supply, a new GPU, a USB3 card (especially since another USB port broke), new hard drive, and a new monitor... That's pretty much $400 minimum for quality parts. And this is to upgrade a Core2Quad to be remotely decent with modern software.

However, that sort of bullshit attitude did manage to nag at me in the back of my mind. So... I went to install Windows on it. I installed Windows, but... Sildrae is gaming online. I can't do a goddammed thing with this computer until I update it, and Windows Update doesn't throttle download speeds. If this were MacOS, I'd already be able to get started doing shit with it.

What am I going to do about it? I'm going out to the shed and fetching my Dell XPS tower until I can spend the 5+ hours updating Windows 7 on the iMac... Or maybe I'll just keep eveything to the Dell. I don't know yet.

Regardless, this is why this fuckwad attitude of "lul apple" really needs a nice trout-slap. One hard enough to draw blood.
