That's your opinion. It's not mine.

it's not just my opinion, but regardless, it's your loss to forgo a
retina display solely because it's not matte, particularly when its
glossiness is not all that glossy and not even noticeable when it's in
use.

older glossy displays were much glossier. the retina display is not the
same.

you can always get a matte screen overlay if you're that bent on matte
displays.

And end up with possible luminescence shifts.

that's the downside of matte displays, but he wants matte.

what he and you don't realize is that modern glossy displays aren't
very glossy. early glossy displays were awful but that issue is long
gone.

If one is producing images for third parties to view, downgrading the
image for third party viewing can result in color shifts, due to
interpolation.

nonsense. there is no interpolation. do you even know what that means??


Another idiotic statement. I do an image in RGB and the display is sRBG,
what happens to the colors in the RGB space that are not available in sRGB.

that has absolutely nothing to do with glossy versus matte.

none whatso****ingever.


Just where did I say it did?

My PC
was built and Windows was running in two hours, maybe a little less. It
was a whole three hours of my time invested in a buying parts and
building the PC.

in other words, your claim of two hours was wrong.

and you're also ignoring the time waiting for delivery and the time to
install all the apps.

So a Mac would come with all the apps I need and want installed?

with a new mac, you connect it to your old mac and have migration
assistant copy everything, which is part of the setup process. when
it's done, all of your apps, documents and settings are on the new mac
(and still on the old mac too).

windows doesn't migrate particularly well (or not at all), which means
you'll end up having to manually install and authenticate all of your
apps, and that's after finding the cd/dvds and/or redownloading the
installers, along with finding the necessary serial numbers.

in other words, after the mac has completed the setup process,
everything is there. with windows, no. you're on your own.

Hey goal changer, I don't have a Mac.

then why did you ask about macs?

but at least you admit you don't have one. now we know you're full of
**** when you talk about it.


Two words for you to learn. SURPRISE!!! They have different and
non-interchangeable meanings.
They a
Own; and
Use.

You keep repeating that as if someone is disagreeing with you. No one is
disagreeing. The point is that when you reach the point that the machine
no longer fills that needs, you will get far more for the old Mac than
you will get for the old Windows machine.

Future resale is simply not a consideration.

That's only because you assume up front your new computer won't have any
resale value. Meanwhile those of us who know better sell ours when we are
ready to upgrade which significantly offsets the cost of the new machine.
Your loss...

I have used Macs and totally agree with Tony Cooper.

Sure you have.

Whether you believe me or not will not affect my life one scintilla.

Likewise your lies have no significant effect on mine.

You are reinforcing your reputation as an asshole.

You are projecting. You've been caught in a lie and now you can't deal with
it, asshole.

Pshhhh... Anyone who wasn't living under a rock remembers this well. Do
your own research.
