Macintosh or PC

[Markus Asraelius]

Okay, so the macintosh is like our family computer although I've used both: a mac and a p.c. And, I prefer the mac.

So, what does everybody think, do we prefer a mac or a pc?

The only advantage I could think of using a pc could be is the amount of games/applications that exist for it versus the macintosh.

I'm a PC guy myself Mac sucks....I dunno same shit nothing a mac can do that a PC can't...usually PC's are better...and PC's are more upgradable and customizable...and cheaper....and more stuff is compatible with a PC....i could go on for hours really

[Gunner80]

Macs' are overpriced pieces of silicon garbage.

[Neemo]

the funniest part is.....now they use Intel Processors and Windows

btw IMO both Safari and OSX Suck donkey nads

[Markus Asraelius]

Yeah and even funnier you hardly ever hear about macs getting viruses, because THEY DON'T.

And another thing macs never lock up or give you idiotic errors like pc's do.

Macs are better computers, plain and simple.

[Neemo]

hmmm...well if you know what you're doing you don't get viruses either.


and I've heard of lots of cases of Mac's locking up....it's a myth thing is, from what i understand, if a mac locks up you gotta reinstall everything....I bet it's fun too

[Markus Asraelius]

I never said a mac doesn't lock up, I said it doesn't lock up as much as a p.c.

For instance, this mac that I type on right now, has only locked up 3 times in the 14 months I've used it.

BTW, I'm not aware of any myth out there that says a mac never locks up.

I'm on WindowsXP and it has never locked-up once. I do lots of things with my PC also. The only reason most viruses are written for Windows is because hackers know that's what most people and company's use.

You'd think you would be able to catch a virus when using any platform that you use to share information

Macs are great if you're into heavy-duty processing or video editing. Macs handle video like no other. When I interned at CNBC in London all the editors there were being forced to use Windows Adobe Premiere which they all hated. They all wanted to use the old company software, which was Final Cut for Macs. The truth is, Macs are generally built better and are more efficient and reliable when it comes to heavier stuff like video - all the special effects in Terminator 2 were done on Macs back in 1991. They are still heavily used for that type of thing.

However, I prefer Windows because I think it's generally a better interface, more easy to use, more compatible, and for the AVERAGE PERSON it's more efficient. Macs have their ups and downs and it seems they're not as good at just handling basic stuff. I also hate the Mac interface and the whole "we'll be different from Windows and not be compatible with anything else - but not by much" attitude of Macintosh. Example? They created a one-click mouse just because they didn't want to make a two-click mouse and have it be like Windows. The whole thing reminds me of AOL - Macs are in their own little universe and try to rework everything to make it "different" for Macs - but a lot of times it just comes across as aggravating.

I prefer Macs. But PC's are cool too.

At this point you can have a computer that runs both.. so.. I don't see the point in a rivalry

[Walk]

Macs are terrible. A normal PC will work just fine with Windows, or even FreeBSD or Linux if you want to be kvlt.

[estranged.1098]

I've been running GNU/Linux as my main system for years on a PC. Nothing kvlt about it, it just works better for me.

solaris. that's it.

Solaris? Is that still around?

I have had a Mac for 20 years and that has never happened.

Most computer experts consider Macs to be superior in terms  of inherent technology and ease of use.
Their downfall was in marketing in the 1980s until Steve Jobs returned. Now, a Mac can run Windows, so you can have the benefits of a Mac and still have what you want from Windows. Is the opposite true? No, you are stuck with Windows, which as everyone knows, has new security gaps literally every month. I have colleagues at work who switched  from Macs to PC a fews years back for fear of losing IT support (which never happened), and now they regret their decision. So, while Macs may be higher priced, you get what you pay for, and in this case you get a better computer that is easier to use, more versatile, and is a better computer.

I have a PC, but I prefer Mac's usability and look about it. It just looks less yuppieish.
