I use PC myself. But I have nothing against MAC. Although I don't know much about it, I'll admit that..
But the first computer I ever used was MAC. A small, old one, the screen was TINY! It belonged (well, still belongs :blink: ) to a friend of mine. I loved it, it had a cool painting program :bleh:
Then later, when I tried PC, I didn't like it as much. The MAC was in Danish, that was a big plus. And the PC didn't have the same painting program (Nota bene; I was about 6 or 7). (And I HATE Windows in Icelandic. It sucks. I haven't seen it in Danish, don't want to.)
But then we bought a PC, and I learnt how to use it, and loved it. Now I don't use MAC that much, mainly because I don't know many that actually have one. My aunt has one buried on the attic... And the old tiny one isn't being used right now. (hmm, I wonder why,....)

I use a PC and don't know much about Macs as I've never used one. A few years ago serious muzos over here in Aus (including my teacher) weren't interested in using anything but a Mac. I can't remember clearly now but I think it was something about a Mac having scussi (can't even spell it) components making it more powerful for handling audio and processor hungry plugins. But that attitude could be different today, especially as the PC has become more powerful and introduced a 64 bit operating system.

I prefer PC, but only for it's easy scalabilty and upgradability. Performance-wise a G5 is competitive with newer models PC but with more and deeper testing from Macintosch. There are hardly any compatiblity problems with Macs. (On the other hand, PC Vendors like Dell have managed to reach a stable product as well, imho).
The choices you have for hardware ar so much more diverse for the PC platform. Combine this with much more software and the decision is easy. But MACs do have a more cooler design, and I can imagine that a couple of iMacs look cooler then some beige PCs on the desks of your design companies office...

the new .Net stuff is a good example, it's basically compariable to Java, but when you start digging through the .net architecture, it's much cleaner and easier to write than java.
Ah, but does .NET offer the same portability as Java? Can the Mac for instance run your beautiful .NET-stuff? This makes .NET hardly comparible with Java. They are maybe comparible in the sense that they are Object Oriented to the bone...

for portability, the MAME coders swear by regular C

Windows is da best....
(you now already that linux go make a pc named "Lindows" ?)

i know somebody that have a mac, she never use it
becouse mac is *meep*.

1 BB (Beta Byte, thats 1000 GB)
5 GHZ processor
Boxes with 10.000 watt
A mouse with 7(!) buttons
keyboard with 120 buttons(or 121)
3 processors(one with 1 GHZ and two with 2 GHZ)
Printer that print 2 pages in faster then 10 seconds

And much more!
how i now that? Results of a hack.
(i have read all those things on a site)

So mac, Shut up with your *meep* computers!
I am guessing you are being sarcastic right? AWhat you say makes you look like a total idiot (if you were talking for real) [/b][/quote]
So what?
I sit minimal 6 ours on my Windows Millenium per day!






(And my I.Q. is 135)
(AND i read Computer Guides)

I can't say I like Microsoft (they're just another big corporation, out to crush all opposition and make huge profits) but Apple (which is the SAME as a Mac ) are at least making innovations and have good designers working for them. As for linux, give them a break, I've never used their OS but it is independantly made and also not not finished.

i never understood why on my graphics course at college they paid shiteloads of ? to buy low spec slow apple mac desktop g4s when for the same money they could have built a over 1ghz (instead of 600mhz mac) desktop pcs complete with higher resolution moniters. i put this to my tutor at the time and she said:

"its because they are industry standard"

:eeeeeh:

i dont know where people actually get this idea that macs are better than pcs for home and graphical use??.
