oops
forgot about MAYA being on Mac
I still feel, however, that the most developed and famous programs(not necessarily best, i'm trying not to be biased) are for PCs. |

One Standard
I would like to see a nice data Standard developed by a coalition of corperations cooperating to make the computing world a better place. Not one operating system, but many that can run the same competing office suite programs, the same version of StarCraft and the same version of Doom 3 *look for it this holiday season in a store near you* and read a diskette formatted one way. In a world where some of us jump from a Mac at school to a DOS POS machine at work to a Wintel box at home to the Sony PS2 running linux in the den, there is no certainty that the disk in your pocket will be read by any of the machines during the day. Anyone else like to see that change in the future?

3DO
BTW: I have 2 XP machines networked and intend to get a PS2 with HD and Linux this week and I have a 4Mb/50Mhz Win-95 PC running, along with a *Mac-sourced chip and graphics processor* Panasonic 3DO R*E*A*L Interactive Multiplayer model FZ-1. And an old Mac Portable *20 pounds, not so portable* and a Commodore 64 and Atari computer, all running and bootable.

I'd have to vote for the Mac OS. I admit that the most recent Mac OS i ran was 7.5.3, but it is by far the best that i have run. I had an old Performa running at 33mhz and 36 mgs of ram. I had to reformat it a few times, but each of them coincided with me using resedit on the system files...
Anyway, my dad got a p3 500 128 with 98se on it, and i spent 36 hours trying to fix a hard drive that didn't love me. Then he got a laptop with XP, and I had to reinstall a preinstalled modem. One of my PCs ran ME for a while, and then 2k. I gave up and installed my beloved 7.5.3 on my p3 1000 364 with the aid of basilisk 2. Lo and behold -- windows emulating a Mac is more stable than windows itself. I haven't tried Linux or Unix or anything else, but i do have one last comment: My friend runs a server in his basement with Linux with 10s of mhz and ram i can count on my fingers. He only has to reboot it when the power fails. My team webpage is run on some behemoth of a wintel server with gigs of ram, tons of processing power, and it takes 20minutes to sign in. I prefer the dinky Linux box that takes seconds to sign into. Thats my two cents Basilisk makes wintel suck less |

How many times have we all debated MAC vs. PC? It's kind of sad that this thread got larger than the FIRST Robotics Wish List thread. This one's been up for like a week and that one has been up for a couple months.

Its probably been said, but all this really boils down to is a matter of preference. No system is better than another b/c they are used for different things. They are too specialized to compare.
