nope, IE, Windows media player which actually isnt up there, but whenever im on the computer, im listening to music, and, well, thats it. The others are just to take up space. I dont use GM anymore and havn't in who knows how long, I really should delete it, kazaa, nope, my bro used to use it, but hes is hardly ever home, I go to www.cdzinc.com, and graphics gale, nope, only use it for animation which I don't do much of, I use paint for pixel art. I really should just delete the rest of this, but I never feel like it.

nice set up Ryan. Personally, all the wireless mice I've used are big and clunky old things. I've got one that I got with my tablet set but it sucks and I never use it. Looks like you need some new speakers though. I can't live without my music while I'm creating something. Got me 4 and a sub and I use it more than my ghetto. Word

Pblink: I dont use the speakers that much.. they sound nice, it's got a subwoofer underneath and everything, but I just dont care that much about computer sound. On the other hand if it was speakers for my Home theater system or something...

Ryan: I do alot of stuff with my computer, including watching movies and pumping out some wicked house music to my peeps to dance to. For me, my computer is for more than just pixelling.

Speaking of music, check out netmusique.com if you're into house music and whatnot. Always some good sh*t from there

i realy do wonder sometimes just how anoyingly stupid some people
are im suprised hes the only 1 2 say sumthin against them so far...
but either they are masivly overcharged.... or from fisher price..... so
i point out.. why the hell do most companies and even graffic
designers and people that make animated movies mostly have
macs..... they cant be from fisherprice cos they are obviously good
to use... and no companys dont buy them cos they are cheap.. cos i
agree macs arnt exactly cheap.. so lets just keep off this argument
which i have had and won so manny times :P lol

hey snader.... macs aren't looking to be a PC, its quite the opposite.  Apple computer was the biggies in the computer business back in the day before microsoft came along.  Anybody who was anybody bought a computer from mac.  Steve Jobs was a visionary/artistic man and his work sure did show in his products.  Bill gates, on the other hand, was a very statistical/business man who took advantage of steve.  He convinced steve that he was only interested in writing software for the new (at the time prototype) computer, the macintosh.  Bill then took the machine and copied pixel for pixel...ish.  If a Mac were to look in the mirror it would see a windows machine.  The close box on the windows are now on the right instead of the left.  Icons are now oriented to the left instead of right.  Instead of a 'trash' they called it a 'recycling bin.'  Toolbar was on the top - now its on the bottom.  Apple took microsoft to court and won, but the court couldn't do anything about it because Windows had become so big, that it would hurt the industry to recall them.  Why did windows take off so well?  simple - Bill was an expert salesman.  He allows many companies to make parts for the computer and take a small percentage while his machines maintain a very low cost.  Because of this, windows never had good quality stuff.  Macs were all about quality - thus, all parts for them were made by mac.  Now here we are today - windows vs mac.  High quality vs low quality.  Compatibility vs Professionality.  a great parradox.  solution: I use both (and dispise bill).

Its a common missconception that macs dont have all the programs windows has - but they are all (for the most part) out there.... just sometimes a little hard to find.  Even popular games can be found on the mac

EDIT:
another interesting fact; windows XP was designed to combat the rumored OSX that was being developed.  Microsoft is just a company full of copy cats.  They even tried to recreate the IPOD.  Im glad that one failed

Heh, no Mac vs. Windows debates please. Use what works for you and accept that people have different opinions about which is better. You'll never convince Mac people that Windows is better and you'll never convince Windows people that Mac is better and you'll NEVER EVER convince Linux fanatics that anything else exists.

Heh, it's all in good fun -- those debates can just get out of hand. 

I've been meaning to rent that "Pirates of Silicone Valley" for a long time. Keep forgetting it when I'm at the video store.
