And exactly how many times have I said that sometimes, (especially when Nick is around), I like to specifically make errors just to **** the grammar **** off. I’ve gotten to the point where all my posts are first written in word just because my spelling is so bad. Doesn’t make me an idiot, just makes me lazy.

you say macs are only good for artst graphics and video etc, which is my point.
i never said IT didnt need hundreds of firewall settings, i said macs dont. which we dont. theyre for artsy peoples personal work, or people like me who know nothing of computers and dont care to. and dont want a new one every 8 months with just as many problems as the last.

Further, your logic is stupid. If IT needs hundreds of firewall settings, and IT support Macs, then macs don't need firewall settings?! *facepalm*
That goes double for your non sense idea that computers break every 8 months. I buy a computer from Dell, HP, etc, it breaks in 8 months therefore ALL PC's break in 8 months?! Hardware wise, macs are no different than PCs. Apple just handpicks all their parts and then charges you a premium for it. I hand build all my PCs. I've got one older than your high school and college lifetime still running strong.

I thought you were really happy about getting that job and the premium in pay for it as well.
I miss my Pro 180. Never got around to throwing a second proc in it. That thing was a beast.

10% raise is a 10% raise. Just because you turned around and spent it immediately doesn't make the increase in pay any less.

That being said, what exactly is your point? I never said I didn't like the increase in pay, I said I didn't like the job. The two aren't mutually exclusive you know.
Further, I'm only disputing your idea that still getting underpaid while getting a 20%+ raise is somehow "premium pay"

That'd be your math skills we're talking about. You're the one that mentioned 10%. I just knew you said it was a raise over your old job.
I realize that. So find another job and quit about it.
"premium" referred to the fact that you got a pay raise with your new job. I know I'd call it a premium if I got a 20% raise.
If you're underpaid, then find a job paying what you're worth (or something near it at least).
And if you hate macs (I know I do), I find a baseball bat helps.

You say that like it's such an easy thing to do. How long did it take for you to get a job after being out of work????
If it wouldn't get me fired, I would in a heart beat. Though to be fair, that would be a huge waste of "premium" hardware. I'd rather just format the OS and put Win 7 on it (and probably swap the vid card too)

I actually reread your quote before I posted that just to make sure. Your sentence is ambiguous and debatable on meaning. It can be taken two ways, referring to the raise or referring to the total pay. So I'll call it a draw and move on.

Are we seriously having a PC vs. Mac argument in here??? -_-
On a completely unrelated note, what's been going on around here recently? I've been quite busy between my two jobs and other life hassels; been incognito
Also, Scott, were you the one who, at the pre-state meet cruise, had asked me if I'd ever be selling my shinka wheels? I'm going to be swapping out soon, making said wheels available in the somewhat-near future, incase you may be interested. Or anyone else for that matter

Alright Nick. With Google+ coming out I have to wonder if you will EVER embrace anything remotely looking like social media. How the hell you stay connected with people is beyond me.
