I know this is the PC hardware forum but there is no place for macs and here is my situation.

I`m 16 in 10th grade and I will be going to college for graphic design and video editing. I will be in need of a mac for college and my parents are convinced that if they get me the mac next year (grade 11) or this year that it will be outdated and therefor obsolete when I go to college.é

It is an understandable worry but I keep telling them that it wont be outdated to the point of no use. Am I right or will it be stupid to get a mac next year because it wont do me any good for college.

Thanks for any help from the PC guys lol.

Hey that use to happen to me a lot but it doesn't anymore b/c I stopped playing headquaters. It seems like in hardcore matches that rarely happens. I wish they would make a hardcore headquaters in the next game.suicidal_T_H

[QUOTE="Seemore10"]I doesnt say upgrading the server, they are updating the service, aka, Xbox Live, which more than likely means a functionality update of somesort since the service is fine (as there is no update needed apparently)Aaron89

Well, the servers are mostly part of the XBL service, right? Why would they need to shut down the service for three hours when you simply need to download an update like before? Plus, the servers are not fine. I frequently get slow-down periods when there's high traffic on the system - for example, Easter Weekend.

Moreover, spring just started. Last year we got the update in May - and I doubt MS is anxious to get it out. I hope you remember me when you don't have an updated Dashboard/console on April 1st.

True, but XBL is made up of more than just servers. There is the whole presentation, features, fucntionality, and community aspects as well. And I wouldnt find it odd if they shut down xbl for the update. Either way, I'm just hoping it comes APril 1st, if it doesnt whatever
