Easier than PC - Old Apple Ad

[nxchannel]

This even works better than Windows 12... hmmm, what's the last Windows out there? 9 or 10?

Even during the days of Win95 I still had to go right into DOS and into the system tray to install a graphics card. Hell I had to go in there to configure freaking sound blaster so I could play Terminal Velocity with music.

Mac's "were" good in the past hence the "were" coming to mind. Since they had Power PC chip sets that had better floating point calculations making them superb machines for digital art and animation. These days the only thing the mac has going for it is a really fast OS.

@MrSplademan

Of cause I'm talking before Intel and AMD developed their current generations of chipsets. I'm talking before the advent of the Pentium 3. During the 90s Pixar and most game developers used macs for all their texture creation. Artists still use them today for the fast Operating System, though if a Mac crashes, it still dose it like a Jumbo Jet, compared to a PC which is like a bike hitting a car.

Internal: On high-end Macs, same as PC. Low and midrange Macs: Shed blood and chip brittle plastic hoping the drive bay will reveal itself or the old HDD comes out willingly. This is still the case.

Internal PC: You may have to remove some expansion cards, but then it's a piece of cake to slide it into the bay.

External: Plug and play on both on modern machines, old PC's have driver problems.

"IT COST LESS"

[Sarlota]

cost less....LOL

[irulethe70s]

that was then asshat

[wojciech94]

I wish it would be true today, not only in the past, because couple years ago Macintosh was cheaper :)

[poopskinTheLiar]

Of course, with the advent of Plug and play, this commercial's arguement is now worthless...Of course, the computers themselves are far from worthless, Both Macs and PCs. Computers in general are awesome.

[sousuke121]

Yea but this was when P&P in Windows didnt exist, and even in windows 95 it was more like Plug and Pray

[harmelion]

external to internal? that is not fair

[cosmotcat]

Heh ... I remember a simple little piece of software I had to install at work ... for a PC (windows) there were THREE pages of instructions. For the Mac, one line: "Double-click the install icon".

[HistoryMac]

Yeah, still true in some cases. I bought an external hard drive recently and there were four pages of instructions to get it working on Vista. For OS X it just said 'Plug drive into USB port'

[MrSplademan]

@HistoryMac

Windows 7 auto-detects external hard drives, but it dose start screaming and puking at you if you try to run U3 Toshiba systems like their 2006 range of 4GB USB sticks.

[RiSiaas]

microsoft makes third-rate products... go APPLE!

[fullmetalfreak9]

[irulethe70s]

[livebabylive15]

it would have been easier to already have a HDD

[Cormier6083]

Wow,man. Memories.

[xaraxen]

The sound effect, the atmosphere..

My first response was..SILENT HILL!!

Then I saw the SCSI port.

Unfortunately, the PC user met the

Pyramid Head System Administrator.

Simplicity at it's finest.

[caseyjoe503]
