    So, the laptop in the house is ****e, memory full and the weans (kids) keep downloading ****e from **** knows where and the laptop is riddled with a whole manner of STD's. It's about 4 years old now and yesterday, I decided that it was time to buy a new home PC/laptop.

    I was thinking of buying an Apple. My thinking behind this was that I'm pretty gay for Apple, I've got an iPad and iPhone 4S, as has my wife and my daughter an iPhone5 on. Also, the salesman "Navid" was telling me how that Apple computers don't get virus', they don't slow down after a few years, so that will allow my kids to download all the ****e that they want.

    BUT - I know that there are certain Apple "haters" on this site who will vilify me for buying Apple produce, so can they can they tell me NOW why I shouldn't buy Apple?

    Buy and Apple today and keep the virus' away?

    Or buy a Windows PC and fire through umpteen torrents trying to get the best firewall all the while slowing the ****er down and needing to buy a new one in 2 years....

    Any feedback would be much appreciated.

    <cheers>

    Don't understand why some people hate apple so much. If you don't like it don't buy it.

    they're dear as **** though

    I must admit, I was in the Apple shop over at Braehead and it's all a bit OTT.

    They've set up iPads next to every iPhone5 to guide you through how it works, same with the pc's and laptops. There must be about 100 iPads there just sitting doing ****all. I started writing meassages in the "notes" app like "You are a ****ing arsehole" <laugh>

    Then what seemed like a majority of the salesmen had these massive rings in their ears. WTF is it with these ****s? <grr> Then what happens when they take them out? Just a big **** off hole in their ear-lobes?

    Those rings are mind control devices. Steve Jobs uses them to command his army of Apple zombies from beyond the grave. So Eddie says anyway.

    Why?? Do these ****ers not see that in 20 years when skin stretching is no longer cool, they'll all look like ****ing elephants with big **** off ear-lobes, and your ears never stop growing, so by the time they're 80, they'll be able to tie them round their necks.

    Last time I used an Apple I tried to press 'Ctrl - C' to copy something and it didn't work - I had to Google how to copy something. After about 10 minutes of scratching my head trying to do other mundane things I decided it was not for me.

    Plus Apple are extremely protective of their own revenue streams and don't allow developers as much freedom as PC - so there are a lot less programs available for Mac - plus their hardware is over priced and it only works well because they have such a lightweight operating system on it.

    Overpriced, and a little limited in what they can do. Basically, if software isn't sanctioned by Apple it can't be distributed to Apple machines (this is the reason they don't get viruses), therefore if no Apple sanctioned software is available to do what you want to do with the machine it's no good to you.

    On the plus side, they are very low maintenance.

    Personally, it's Apple I have a problem with, not their kit.

    So, if yer happy that the machine will do everything you need of it, go right ahead.
