Re: The Ever-Crazy Mac vs. PC debate

I wish people would explain themself when they say they hate Macs. It seems that more people hold a grudge with Apple IIe's from elementary school or something. New Mac's are awesome. OSX has the perfect combination of power and ease of use. It looks great and works so fluidly. More game developers are designing games for Mac.. so there has begun to be a decent selection of games. Also, since many companies use iD's Quake engines in their games, it's simpler for them to port to Mac.

I'm also not a Windows-hater.. it works for me. I'm still happy with my AthlonXP desktop. It was much cheaper than any Mac, but it doesn't look nearly as cool.

Re: The Ever-Crazy Mac vs. PC debate

I've actually considered a mac in the future, but I just don't think I could handle the change from Windows to another operating system. I think I'll go with a Sony or a Toshiba.

Re: The Ever-Crazy Mac vs. PC debate

The switch is so easy. If you're talking about laptops, Apple laptops are way better than any Windows laptop I have ever used. The interface is so simple that anyone can use it. I had never touched OSX before I got my Powerbook, but no work of any kind was required to use it. Plugged everything in. Bam. It worked.

If you're talking about desktops, then whatever.. But I don't ever plan on buying a Windows laptop
