I agree, I must have read the thread wrong - I was offering in the mix (called a Discussion by the way) alternative types of computers - oh and
PC = Personal Computer so yes an Apple is also referred to as a PC. Never mind though, any post i made back then was always referred to the argument on that AMD thread..
As for the last post there - by Inzane, I will not comment on what you said but rather the fact Urban allowed the original Thread to carry on when he should have closed it the second it got out of hand.. I also agree that I was out of Order in flaming Urban the way I did, but what has come to pass - has passed. I asked for my account to be deleted and they will not do it - so i have went another route which just about achieves the same effect anyhow..
Look matey, things never have to get out of hand... im hot headed myself and fly off on one randomly, ive been working with computers since 1991, and i class myself as an IT expert, having been Network Manager for several companies & IT Support for others including Middlesbrough Council and oversaw the installation on 1000s of PCs for them including a Bespoke Database program that cost over a £1M!!
Sometimes you gotta accept your limitations, wether it be knowledge or practical skills.... i went up against a guy once, £ for £ i could own him for fixing/technical knowledge, but for actuall raw knowledge about certain hardware, best compatability etc. i just couldnt touch him!! He spent every hour outside work researching/reading up and stuff......
I admit, and although im not directly refering to urban here as a child, but he is only 18.... but i think the new generation has much more knowledge than we do mate! They were brought up on PC hardware, were as our generation fell into it when it had just started to become a large part of everyday life!!!
To put it into perspective, when urban was born the 286 was around and the 386 was in development, when we were born 1M ram cost around £1M and most PCs werent PCs they were government property that made basic calculations and thats it.... times change, and so should people!!! I stress that the generation of PC users these days have a much easier life using them than they did when i started, but ive found they are so clued up!!!
My 8 year old son knows 10 times what i did about computers than i did at his age man!!!
Just chill... if you need to eat humble pie, f00king eat it, theres nothing wrong with admiting sombody knows more than you if thats the case!!! at the end of the day its not gonna effect your life is it??? Name calling isnt the answer, although i get riled somtimes, just bite your toungue and get on with it!!! Thats all i have to say!
