The only one here that has a problem with the Mac seems to be you EP. Everytime someone who runs a Mac questions the stability of a PC, you get all indignant and bring out that stupid vid and now this apple crashes different crap.
Perhaps it is you with the problem and not the Mac users.
As for gaming on the Mac, I have several games and they all run just fine. I also run a PC emulator on my Mac in order to do some PC related work. Guess which one crashes more often...that is right, the Win box side of the Mac. I've played enough with both flavors of machines, and I will always choose a Mac.
You don't have to like it, but you can at least respect it. Otherwise we would continually mock you for buying everything in sight when it comes to your obsessive compulsive hobby related behaviors. We would harrass you for your baldness. We would harass you for any number of things...but we don't. We respect the fact that you are different.

Ahhh...stuff it in your...I'm not wasting my time with you. I got way more important things to do than mix words with you on a topic that you have no personal experience or knowledge.

They had Apples computers in my Junior High, does that count as experience? I watched Error's crash like every 10 minutes while I was there a few weeks ago, does that count?

OS X Security Patch Corrects Multiple Open Source Flaws
Severity: Medium
8 April, 2004
Summary:
This week, Apple released two security patches to fix various security flaws found in software that ships with OS X 10.2.8 (Jaguar) and 10.3.3 (Panther). The flaws affect applications ranging from CUPS Printing to OpenSLL and can allow an attacker to (among other things) cause a Denial of Service or even execute code with elevated privileges. If you use Apple OS X, OS X Server 10.2.8, or OS X Server 10.3.3, you should download, test and deploy the corresponding security patches as part of your next maintenance cycle.
Exposure:
With OS X, Apple changed the core of its operating system to a version of Unix known as BSD. Now OS X includes many of the same Open Source packages used by other Unix and Linux variants, including OpenSSL for Secure Socket Layer and CUPS for printing. As a result of this change, any security vulnerabilities found in these Open Source packages generally will affect OS X as well.
In a post to their security update page, Apple released a security update for OS X 10.3.3 and another for 10.2.8. Both updates fix security issues, most of them found in the various Open Source packages OS X utilizes. Though you might not know these software modules by name, they work behind the scenes when you go about your normal daily duties such as reading email and visiting Web sites, so virtually every Macintosh user is exposed to the risk caused by these flaws. Specifically, the affected packages and their flaws are:
An unknown vulnerability affecting CUPS Printing (CAN-2004-0382). Details describing this vulnerability and its impact have not been disclosed. However, the problem relates to a configuration setting in CUPS.
A buffer overflow in two Libxml2 modules (CAN-2004-0110). Libxml2 is a library of functions that applications use to manipulate XML data. A buffer overflow found in two modules of libxml2 could allow a remote hacker to execute code via an overly long URL.
Another unkown vulnerability, this time affecting Mail (CAN-2004-0383). Again, Apple has not disclosed the details of this vulnerability or its impact. However, Mail (OS X's e-mail client) apparently doesn't handle HTML e-mail's properly.
Two flaws in OpenSSL (CAN-2004-0079 and CAN-2004-0112). Both of these flaws allow a remote attacker to cause a Denial of Service by sending a malformed SSL/TLS handshake.
Solution Path:
Apple has released seperate patches for OS X or OS X Server 10.3.3 and 10.2.8. You should download, test, and deploy these patches to the corresponding OS X machines during your next maintenance cycle:
Security Update for OS X and OS X Server 10.3.3 (Panther)
Security Update for OS X and OS X Server 10.2.8 (Jaguar)
For WatchGuard SOHO, Firebox, and Vclass Users:
Since these vulnerabilities affect many packages and Apple has disclosed neither the impact nor the exploitation method for some, your best course of action is to install Apple's patches.
Status:
Apple released Security Updates fixing these issues.

As long as we're posting Mac bashing vids, here's the ones I've found:
This one HB will get a kick out of:
Apple Gamer
A funny one about upgrading to OS X:
Switched
Another funny vid bashing Mac:
Macs suck
And to be fair about it all, one of Uncle Bill at a demo for Windows:
Win 98 Demo
