And yeah, your a kid as soon as you said 17 almost 18. Why not just say 17 and a half? Your still in school and do NOT have a tech related job, and have no experience with Macs in any way shape or form.

Heres some more edjucation for ya, kid. Mac=Apple=OSX even if Microsoft doesnt not = PC. Mac OWNS OSX, Microsoft does NOT own PC. The only way a PC is worth anything is with Linux.

I dont really care what they charge you in Europe, because I dont live there. Microsoft and Apple are both American based companies, and I live in the US. And just because you link to some random message board I'm suppose to take that as fact? Also I just LINKED to Apple where the iPod @ 8 gigs is $149, and your e280 is @ 149 as well. Just cuz you checked Amazon doesn't count for jack. Stated retail price by the manufactuer is all that counts.

And yes, there is something a Mac can do that PC cant. Macs can have OSX and Windows and Linux. Try putting OSX on a PC it wont be easy.

Your inexperienced, you cleaving for ground to stand on, and you got no evidence (at least from any legitamit resources) backing you up. Game over, kid. I dont care what system you blow your cash on, I have left a well defended point posted here, and I'm through with you. Peace.


That is the most needlessly venomous post I have read since RageOfArchilles last visited, but at least he's are an impressive feat of surrealism; you just sound like a jackass.

He was speaking about a consumer choice he made in his market, at a time where an IPod of similar specification did not exist at a remotely comparable or reasonable price. He even stated in his post that "Europe always gets ripped off."

As I have stated, I also own a Sansa, a 4GB e260. Now, I'm not, and Scatterbrain was not, arguing the case that the Sansa is objectively superior to the IPod. It is just at the time of our purchases the Sansa was the more reasonable purchase. My experience does not care for your stated US RRPs (who buys anything at RRP anyway?), rather, that the iPod Nano was twice as expensive as the Sansa in Britain at the time (3 months ago) and an improved IPod was not on the market (and if it is now, it is still at a heftier price than the Sansa). I shopped around, too.

As for a "well defended point posted here", I only see the tirade of an angry imbecile. I do hope you are not an imbecile and this was only a temporary lapse in intelligence.

Also, your "OS-X can't go on PC" point is valid, but is ineffective. The vast majority of things you can do within OS-X you can do just as easily in XP (and I presume Vista also), and the incompatibility with PC is not a fault of the PC at all; it is rather a design/marketing choice by Apple. They never intended OS-X to work for PC. That's fair enough. But what kind of argument is this to "prove" the inferiority of the PC?

And now to your most embarassing remark:

He is a "kid" in your definition then. Fine with me. And if you didn't project some sort of childish, vague generalisation of stupidity or inferiority onto it, it'd probably be fine with Scatterbrain too. But there's no reason to assume anything about him besides that he may be a minor under your jurisdiction. He may work part time as a techie. He might be pretty damn good at it. Better than you, perhaps. And he may have been a Mac-user but grew disenchanted. These may not be true, but are all plausible. Gross generalisation via such an ironically childish label as "kid" only makes you look like an arse.

And by the way, I'm a month older than you. BOW DOWN BEFORE ME, CHILD.

Sorry, but that post was crap. Please be more responsible in future.
