<p>Someone help me, I'm on a deadline and my printer is going crazy on me. I'm trying to print some documents and it says:</p>
<p>There was an error writing to USB001 for the printer (HP Deskjet 3740 Series)
There was a problem printing to the port.
Check to make sure your printer is configured to use a valid port.</p>
<p>What do I do??????????????</p>
<p>Is your computer window$-based? tsk tsk tsk I'm sorry.</p>
<p>Nevermind I got it! </p>
<p>This Thread is now closed:) </p>
<p>By the way what do you mean futurenyustudent?</p>
<p>I'm just making fun of the fact that mac is soo much better than window$. And note the use of the dollar sign on the S. Funny how Mac OS X costs $70 and windows XP costs $200, $300, or even $400, but Mac OS X is soo much more user friendly lol.</p>
<p>Switched to mac and never going back to PC again.</p>

<p>Cheers for you, now please stop being the obnoxious Mac-crusader that gives the rest of us a bad name.</p>
<p>And it always makes me laugh when Mac users act like Apple isn't some big and evil corporation.</p>
<p>there are tons of reasons why everything >>> apple, futurenyustudent...</p>
<p>coz apple SUCKS</p>
<p>The reason that PC is better than Mac?</p>
<p>Right click.</p>
<p>I never understood these ridiculous tyraids people get into screaming how one is better than the other. Who cares? It's personal preference! Just because you prefer PC doesn't mean "apple SUCKS".</p>
<p>The funniest thing is that most people who say mac/pc sucks have never actually tried the other versions.</p>
<p>yea, windows is also more convenient because u have to dl like a different patch, or different something for apple users =(. Also, microsoft word is much more universal and better than appleworks.</p>

<p>That's true, that's why Apple gives you the ability to run microsoft products, like Word.</p>

<p>Such a well-crafted argument. Your logic is impeccable.

<p>Huh? I dunno about you, but I think that Mac OS X's patching is pretty good. But then again, I can't really understand what you're trying to say. </p>

<p>Oh goodness forbid we expect people to have educated opinions! How dare you sir?!</p>
<p>windows has a bigger community. Every one uses it. </p>
<p>And that's exactly why it's better than mac.</p>
<p>OK, even if you say Mac has a great OS, structure, design, etc. but compared to windows, the amount of people using it is like...LOL!</p>
<p>Windows is FLEXIBLE because so many people use it, and develop off of it. I'm a certified programmer myself, and I can tell you that 90%+ use windows over mac. Windows is a lot more "OPEN SOURCE" than Mac.</p>
<p>Window's World is HUGE, and no matter how great Mac's World is, it currently is NOT as BIG. (great adjective :) )</p>
<p>More people using it doesn't necessarily make it "better." More people drive Honda Civics than BMWs, but that doesn't make the Civic a better piece of engineering. Similarly, you can make an argument that UNIX-based OSes have many advantages over Windows. </p>

<p>What is there on Windows that I absolutely positively need, though? I run Office fine, STATA runs just as well on my Mac as it did on my Wintel box, and most things are cross-platform nowadays anyway. </p>
<p>A computer is a tool. If the tool meets your needs, then what else is there? Mac OS X meets my needs better than Windows. From a purely economic standpoint, that means that, at least for me, Mac OS X > Windows.</p>
<p>It's that simple.</p>
<p>My school only offers macs. I will admit that they are dated, but the ones that I use do not offer a right click option. I am the editor of my newspaper so I am on the school computer A LOT, and through my experience I have found that mac makes better with video editing/simple user friendly programs. </p>
<p>And they are cuter.</p>
<p>But PC is still the best.</p>
<p>surfette,</p>
<p>I think all OS X systems have the feature, but the mouse may not have it built-in. You can always ctrl-click for the same effect, by the way.</p>

<p>Yes, because Office and STATA are just simple user-friendly programs...</p>
<p>Based on what criteria?</p>
<p>MAC OWNS PC why?</p>
<p>Three words. Final Cut Pro</p>
