He's right though, his camera is better. But let me just stroke your ego and say you're the better photographer.

>#1 starts to talk about how getting a mac is the best decision for a laptop
>#2 asks why
>#1 says "because when you buy a pc, you have to pay $100/year for antivirus for optimal protection. It's impossible for macs to get viruses so its saving you $100/year. so, after using a mac for 15 years, you're saving the price of the mac, so the mac is basically free"

Oh my.

They have a point. My windows system is incompatible with CommonSense 1.0 and it currently has a seemingly incurable virus. Fuck that shit.

>>35859316
Name one good AV that costs $100/yr.

While you're at it, name any personal computer that won't be useless in 15 years.

>>35859342
I have some commodore 64s I still use.

Also, any machine running templeos will be fine for decades
>>
>>35859342
For most people, it's worth $50 a year to not have to worry about antivirus nonsense, and there's plenty of good antivirus programs that cost $50 a year. And a good new computer today will definitely be useful in 15 years. Some people have more than one machine, you know. There's nothing wrong with having an older machine for various uses.

>>35858262 (OP)
/p/ here.

Get off your high horse, princess. I bet his photos weren't that bad and yours weren't as good.

Learn to be humble. Not a single photographer has ever gotten to be good by having that shitty superior attitude.

Are you seriously comparing yourself to that talentless idiot Ken Rockwell? Do you actually believe he's good and do you honestly consider him a role model?

Oh wow, haha. Thank you for proving my point that you are indeed a terrible photographer and you're jelly of your friend.

This is worse than thinking Steve Jobs was the greatest gift to technology.

What's most offensive about that is that he's right and who gives a shit?
