I could do it without problems using Windows but not with Mac and it's frustrating. Can anyone help/assist/advise me? I know we could do it legally and have searched via google but still no luck. I could be asking too much???? :-)

Thanks in advance

well.



you shouldn't have gotten a mac then.



my suggestion is you place thermite on top of the mac, and then, with a sparkler or something white-hot, light the pile.



if you are lucky, it will burn all the way through your mac, then the table, and then on your foot, so you will have a hole in your foot as a reminder not to get a mac ever again.



sounds good? it is. you can make thermite out of simple household materials. all you do is take an etch-a-sketch or whatever they are called, and break it open, the particles inside are aluminum powder. then, find an old truck bumper and scrape the rust off. alternatively, you can hook up two nails to opposite ends of a battery and stick them (not touching) in a cup of salt water. rust will form. scrape that off every day.



then, take your rust, and mix it with your aluminum powder. presto chango, you have thermite. then go and light it as in instruction #1.



edit: and to the people that are commenting how i don't know what i am talking about and am stupid, here is a website describing how to make thermite: http://how2dostuff.blogspot.com/2006/01/how-to-make-thermite.html



now, on the topic of macs. if you want to download download music, then just get limewire, frostwire, etc. they work exactly the same on a windows based computer as they do for macs.



instead, you should try torrenting. look into using Vuze, uTorrent, or another bittorrent client. it is a much safer way of downloading materials than through limewire, and allows you to download full albums much more easily.



a common myth is that macs do not get viruses. this is completely untrue. the reason pc's are targeted for viruses is because they are the best, and henceforth the most popular and common type of computer. While yes, Unix based systems are more secure, worms and critical operating system issues have been uncovered. and as apple continues to grow in popularity (as a result of the unthinking majority), more faults will be exposed, and your viruses will emerge.



when you think about it, there is no point in making a virus that will affect less than 10% of the worlds computers.



then you also have to look at the costs. did you know that in a mac pro, you would have to pay $1500 just to have 8 gigs of ram? i can get that for under $200, and at a faster speed. also, in order to set up a raid array, you need to pay $800 more in because the mac pro motherboard doesn't support raid naturally. and then you need to pay $300 for each additional 750 gig 7200 rpm hard drive. i myself have 2 hard drives, and that sure didn't cost me over $1200. more like $180, counting shipping. this goes on and on. you have to know nothing about computers in order not to realize that macs cost a lot, and yet you really don't get that much.



i could go on all day. macs are like the jocks of the computer world. for some reason everyone likes them, because being around them makes you popular, but they are really shallow and will end up flunking out of community college later in life.



it really makes no sense. you pay more for an inferior product. do the math, find out what stuff is really worth. what it boils down too is that people view the mac as a pop culture icon, that they can use to make up for their own short comings. dick isn't big enough, so what. get a mac. then people won't notice your tiny genitalia. at least that seems to be the basic principle.

Hi Jess Y,



First off, Apple has worked hard with the music industry to keep everyone happy and everyone paid. So, you know that’s the legal way to do it. Just ignore Prixy. He obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about.



However, you didn’t explain how you normally get your free music downloads from your Windows PC. Do you use Usenet downloads. There are some great software to access Usenet newsgroups.



Do you use Limewire? You can download various programs that will do that too. Go to my favorite download sites:

http://www.macupdate.com/



http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/



Best of luck.

take a deep breath my little grasshopper ;-) lol!!



I just open Safari and go to my favorite website. Safari downloads EVERYTHING in sight.



Enjoy. Unix based my three macs have NEVER ever not worked.



my HPs xp and vista not nearly as good.



A rich guy I know switched to mac and LAID OFF the 30 IT guys who kept unfracking windows for him. That had to save him a coooool million.



Of course on of the guys in his 'tour' group started sputtering some nonsense. He just shook his head and said: it runs ALL of my software. Windows cannot do that. And he laughed.



I deliberately did not say his name. He values his privacy.



He was showing us his scale model of the titanic for FREE!

He is proud of it and wanted to share. It is so large it is in ONE of his airplane hangars at the Pontiac International airport.



It has a customs agent for the convenience of the sports teams and millionaires. :-) It is a tiny airport, too.
