I like the ease of an Apple.  Plus other features like how easy it is to open the case of a tower.  Ton's of other reasons, I wouldn't mind having a PC and Mac.  But it'd have to be a 2.54GHz P4 if I was to get any PC

i've been using a mac for 12 years, i did hate pcs.
now i don't, i'm buying a P4 1.4ghz, with a gf4 and the works for college(a secondary computer). I'd say macs are way better, however Xp is fairly nice.

Appple's are much easier to learn. Much easier to use. Much easier to install stuff with. Apple machines are all around easier to use than Pcs. Ease of use is always a plus.

Because PCs are buggy pieces of trash, and because I refuse to support a monopoly.  A PC running Linux is fin though.  It is a problem strictly with Microsoft and not the PC hardware or non-Microsoft software...

Mac is just a superior machine...too bad that Apple was stupid in the early 90's or we would see PC people saying "I hate Apple." But then again, who knows if the quality of the machine would have tailed off considering that Mac is only offering good services/machines and what not because they are fighting for a larger market share than 5%.

Macs are easier to use, but dont have anywhere near the amount of programming for them as PC's do.

The reason windows has more programs is because the companies want to have more people by their stuff and more people have Pcs.

PC's are evil. Windows is more evil. Microsoft is the most overrated company i know of. Windows users may have IQ's slightly above those of primates. Or so it seems, sinct wouldnt it take a complete idiot to use such a bad system, and be too lazy to switch?

BAH@PC's!!!!

I think PC users are afraind to switch because they know that when they switch they get laughed at for using a pc earlier in there life. Oh and Pcs SUCK!!

PC's kick ass!! Its just the OS that sucks man.  All I ever get for my games on our 2K PC is problems man.  And when we first got it, it was filled with bugs and shit in it that I still cant figure out.  Like for the update, I cant update the damn thing cause of some weird security thing on IE, and I changed the options like it sayd on the warning, but still, jack happens.  All in all, PC's rule, but the OS is a peice of shit.

i can speak and support my claims with details! FEEL MY WRATH PC!!!!!!!!! i own a gateway with windows 98 and a voodoo3, first off windows sucks and to really get good at it you almost have to take classes because you cant fuck around with it like OSX.  First off OSs, OSX vs Windows anything, OSX ownz it because ease of use and XP is not that good, its just colorful 98.  Another thing which was kinda over looked was how long a PC can last.  Someone said the PCs are just shitty computers with shitty parts and well that is true.  My gateway is a old computer 450mhz machine and so is my G3 and i can tell you now that everything on my G3 works perfect but on my gateway,  y Cdrom broke i am having video problems and i cant even play a MP3 w/o skipping.  Macs might be more $$$$$ but they last a hell of a lot longer.

I hate PC's because they crash more than cars in LA. There is also to many of them. Dell, Gateway, Compaq etc. Apple does all their own products and doesnt sell it to any other companys. The G4's are also faster than all my friends pc's.

My friend has a PC and it crashes and erases his files and im like " arent you angry or mad?" and he was like "no it happenes all the time"

PC's suck!!!  There are more PC's in this world only b/c more ppl have PC's and think that they would be making a mistake if they switch to Mac.  
What those ppl fail to grasp is that they were never taught that Macs are far more superior in performance, interface and programs.  They are much faster, and most ppl think that its b/c who has more MHz, when speed of a computer has NOTHING to do with amount of MHz, it has to do with the AMOUNT and LENGTH of the comp's PIPELINES.
Also, Dest I am with you on the Corel draw, its a worthless program when you compare it to PS or Quark (which btw I have used since I was 17) and Yoda is also right that when a PC crahses it loses alot files or files get switched to other folders, etc.....I donnt know about you but that would make me go to the store right there and then and make me buy a mac.

Long Live Mac

Because they are beige bricks that hardly do anything.  The only reason any of my friends can give me for hating macs is "they dont have any games!"  
Alright, is it just me or were computers invented to do other things besides play gmaes?  I dunno, i must have missed a memo someplace...
Macs can do anything PC's can do...and not only do it, they do it faster, with better quality, and have an easier user interface.  plus they dont give us that blue screen whenever it (if it does) crash.  
I was wondering...has anyones OSX ever crashed?  mine hasnt.  Just curious.

My OS X crashed...once...in a year...and I was doing stupid stuff.

You mean it crashed, like you had to hit the restart button or the finder just had to be rebooted

Hey, I found a consistant way to crash in OSX, through clasic, try and open Rainbow Six: Eagle Watch with Rainbow Six Demo preffrences. It will totaly disable yours keys, not allowing your to force quit.

You guys are just as bad as PC users in terms of blind stereotyping...

I have had my PC for months now, and it HAS NOT crashed even once this entire time. Just because you are a Mac user, you dont have to be an ignorant dumbfuck and say "PC's suck because they suck" or "PC's suck!!!  There are more PC's in this world only b/c more ppl have PC's and think that they would be making a mistake if they switch to Mac."

First off, more people buy PC's because they are much cheaper to buy, easier to upgrade, and have more software available for them. Hell, the PC I just built is far superior to any Mac machine that I have ever tested and the damn Apple Store. My dual 3Ghz computer kills any Mac on the market, hands down...and I got it for about $1500 less than a dual 1ghz Mac computer.

I would say the major benefits to owning a Mac (rather than a store bought PC) is its reliability (Hardware and software) and its superior and easier to use OS.

All this being said, Mac deserves to be in the position it is in today because they did it to themselves. That being said, they could make leaps and bounds in the personal computing industry if they would get out of the fad markets and put 100% of their resources into making better machines...just because Apple makes the iPod and offers .Mac wont make PC users give up a more affordable computer, better software selection, and easier upgrade capabilities.

Believe me, I like Macs and everything, but they are killing themselves once again...they have to make their computers cheaper to purchase and maybe integrate the ability to read .exe files into their next OS...if they can get a Mac to read .exe files (without SoftWindows or Virtual PC), they will make a Mac look more appealing.

Well... heres something I found on a website, I think its perfect to place right here!

"(People ask me) 'There are many PCs that are less expensive than a Mac. Isn't it smarter to buy the cheaper one?' You know, that same argument was used to sell a lot of Yugos and Hyundais in the 1980s, but nobody was calling for the death of Mercedes-Benz." (Don Crabb)

Okay, so you got me there! I guess I can't beat you on that bit.

I think its about time I added this one I found...
An article in the British magazine ComputerActive reports that 47% of readers say they now regret having upgraded from Windows95 to Windows98. In a similar New York Times poll in July 1999 53% of the readers have indicated similar regret (up 9% from a poll last year). Hah, notice I don't have to say anything,
(myself) Bill Gates appears to mess himself up...
Just 6 weeks before its release, Bill Gates demonstrated Windows 98 at the Comdex98 computer show in Chicago. As soon as his assistant plugged in a scanner, Win98 crashed. (C/Net)

Quote

Well... I think that really if there is a leak in OS X Consule that hackers can get through, I think that its quite important that an update is released ASAP, no matter how little is done, no? and .Mac is a load of shit, it won't be about for long.

That I can agree with, apparently a MAC OS merged with .exe etc. was under construction before Jobs came  back to Apple, I don't know how true it is though.

You took my quote out of context, but the point I was trying to get across was that not everybody can shell out about $1000 for the cheapest Mac...meanwhile they can pay $400 and get a decent PC that performs all of the basic tasks needed. Also what you ripped out of my quote was that PC's are easier to upgrade and have a better software selection...those two reasons alone would be a reason for me to buy a PC over a Mac if I was in a cash-strapped situation.

Refer to my post above this one on my views about this whole spiel...
