Re: MAC or PC

There's a bunch of outdated/misinformation in this thread...

There's nothing really that proprietary about Macs. They use the same hardware in other computers, and software-wise OSX is a certified UNIX operating system with a highly customized UI. There's way more open-source software under the hood of OSX than there is in Windows. If you're using Chrome or the default browser on Android, you can thank Apple for creating the open-source WebKit rendering engine these browsers use.

Click.
Pretty much all Apple hardware released in the past five or six years has had a hardware right click.

Prior to that (and continuing to today), OSX supported right click functionality from non-Apple mice.

While I'm not a huge gamer, between the Mac App Store and Steam, there are enough available games for OSX for my interests. I've had no problems playing games like Portal 2 or Half Life 2 from Steam on OSX.
