That's because MacOS is almost a closed system. Apple only has to support itself. Microsoft has to support everyone else. not to mention the fact that pcs are (fairly) easy to upgrade, so when someone writes crappy drivers, Microsoft gets blamed. Plus, the odds of something crashing are mutch more likey (Microsoft has, what, 75% of the market? that's 1.5 times the odds of a mac crashing). Sensing the pattern yet?

Recent rumors say that C and .Net will be supported in the 10.4 version of XCode

Re: pic: WOW! 5 laptops+1 IPoD We must be rich!!!
 

-C support for alpha proc is entirely compiler dependent
-.NET sucks. Good 'ole VS6 all the way!
-What's XCode?

Wow...I am suprised no one has mentioned this yet. It makes me wonder if what I am seeing is correct or not. Are there not 7 laptops there (2 of them being dirty macs)?

At first i thought the same thing then noticed it is another teams seperate pit and they are talking about only thier own equiptment in their pit.

That's correct ;)

XCode is Apple's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) that comes free with every new Apple computer. You can also download it (warning, BIG download) from Apple's website.

I guess I found the advantage to PCs over Macs....

I wonder how a iBook would work after a 200 pound man stands on it for 5 minutes or drops it from 5 feet up :p

Long Live Toshiba! :rolleyes:

No... your logic is flawed in its entirety.

What does this mean? Windows is more of a closed system then mac is. At least Mac OS X is based on open standards.

Again no. Apple supports a lot of third party developers to ensure the best compatibility.

So are macs. If you go to www.xlr8yourmac.com you can get info on almost any custom configuration. In Mac OS X and WinXP you shouldn't have to install any drivers, almost all the drivers are found on the system.

Macs crash less because of its UNIX under printings, and other reasons too.

Ugghh Toshiba are one of the worst labtop manufactures out there. I have had a lot of problems fixing them for people. Personally I think IBM makes the best labtops.


I have to agree that this thread is getting off-topic.

BTW: That is a nice set of equipment there.

I feel better I'm not the only one who uses multiple laptops. I made the scouting DB for my team and Friday night at nats I had all five laptops going at once while I compiled the data.

I have a Toshiba labtop that is at least 7 years old and it's still in good shape. I never had any big problems with it. It runs Windows 95.


Thanks :D

We used 2 laptops for comps only; we have a full desktop for regular work. 1 was MPLAB, the other was Dashboard!

I'd like to see any consumer laptop that survives a drop unscathed.
