They are being ridiculous because they are saying macs are better. and Ricky i see where you are coming from there. Dan never said that it had to benefit anyone. the entire point of this project is to try to build up coalitions and try to work as a community to get certain ideas passed.

They are being ridiculous because they are saying macs are better. I still don't get it...So I can't say Macs are better, but you can? If that wasn't the statement (that PC's are better), why would this thread even exist? ...That, and still nobody has mentioned a single valid point as to WHY Dan should trade his Mac for a PC.

So whats important is the coalitions and not the ideas??!
You are mistaken... Whats important is that ideas get support because they are good ones and will ultimately benefit either his life, or others...
Why do you think Dan 3.0 exists?

Why do you think Dan 3.0 exists? i dont think i explained myself correctly. the ideas bring the people together. and then that creates the coalitions.

Hello everyone, just a quick update.
Thank you to all those that have joined, I will add your names on the list of members.
To clarify: The point of this is NOT so that we can claim PCs are better than Macs. If you would like to know the point please message me.
If you do not support this... leave, that's all you have to do. We're just having a bit of fun here, not trying to create a Mac v PC war, so please do not start one.

I was the person to suggest, even slightly that Macs are better than PCs. But, even ruling out that argument due to its subjectiveness (which is arguable), all my other arguments remain valid. Dan Brown is comfortable with using Macs, he would be spending unnecessary money as his Mac has all he needs already, and it would cause him adaptation problems related to the need to use different software, specially on the video editing ends.
Even bringing the argument that Macs are better than PCs is possible. They have a scalable vector based interface ideal for video and graphics editing. Furthermore, tied in hardware and software makes Macs have a small footprint on the hard drive space taken and a bigger stability, as all hardware needed to support is far lesser than in Microsoft's case, which have to support everything and to the lowest common denominator.
If you think I'm saying this because I'm an Apple fanboy, then don't. I don't use a Mac, I use a PC with Ubuntu. I don't plan to get a Mac, even if I have money. And I morally object Steve Jobs marketing and management.
So I request you to see that this coalition will only bring harm if it manages to take its plan forward and that, even though I used the quality argument, which is strong, I have based in other equally strong arguments which you didn't consider at all, as alienation and comfort. Please, open your eyes.

Seriously, nothing about this cause makes a lick of sense. So far, the only thing that's been established is:
"HURRRRR I LIKE PC BETTER THAN MAC"
Please. Correct me if I'm wrong. Pretty please.
Edit: Seriously, if you want to attract people to support your cause, you need to give them a reason as to WHY they should support your cause. I'm just sayin.

so i like PC dont get me wrong. but i would rather dan stick his head in a toilet bowl to get more views than him waste his money on a new computer he probably doesn't need. simply put we need to think of better ways to waist dans money than buy something he doesn't need. i do not support this simply cause there is no point in waisting dans money.

Exactly... You shouldn't waster other people's money when it doesn't really do any good at all.
