Apple or Dell?

Do Mac's have right click yet, btw?

Mac's have always had a right click. You can enable a two-finger track pad touch on the laptops, and the mice on desktops are pressure sensitive to the right side for that click.

Which do you guys think is better, apple or dell.

Neither.

(shrugs) I duknow. I'd guess not. So is Linux better than windows or just different, and can it run AH2?

An AH pilot managed to get it running with RedHat (or something similar) Linux. From what I read, it was a difficult process.

Linux is a hella faster, I put it on my older laptop as an aux computer and it boots up nearly instantly.

I'm pretty sure pervert got AH 2.14 running on Ubuntu through Wine with no trouble.

The Mac Desktops & Laptops that my school district bought don't have the ability to right click on the mouse/button, you have to press ctrl+button. The two-finger track pad on the laptops is nice in comparison to most laptops I've used, though.

From what I understand, Linux is actually more similar to Mac OS's from a technical standpoint (both being Unix based), however... I don't know how to explain it... you have to have a fair knowledge of commands in terminal to get anything out of it. Nothing complicated, but it's something else you have to learn.

My brother-in-law is a Mac Genius who thinks all PCs are trash.

Heh I share an office with a bunch of mac people (enterprise level mac engineers). Trust me for every issue in windows you can find the same thing on a mac... BSOD... mac has the Brown Screen of Death (aka Kernel panic), "it just works on the mac" ... except when you have to go fishing for Mopier drivers or 3G device drivers.

The funniest thing is the malware aspect, you point out that mac malware and now botnets exist in the wild - they'll point out that you need to click on the malware to get infected (hullo mac people how do you think pc malware works).

Mac's are nice, but they are overhyped and there is a huge amount of mis-education and plain old marketing bollocks surrounding them.
