the big question

I swing both ways with windows and macs, apparently johnnythan you are lying about the fact that you have bever had a crash on an XP, i have used windows for 6 years and I have had to reboot my computer once in a while. And as for the fact that spyware does exist for mac, that is also a lie, as I have checked around and frankly no, it doesn't exist, so you can stop all the lies now, for your own sake.

Well I can tell you from my experience that it will be a cold night in hell before I ever go near a PC again. I had always used a PC up until about 12 months ago, and had it not been for how s***ty XP was I would never have considered a Mac.

XP doesn't crash? Yeah right! Mine crashed constantly. Mac OSX does? Well mine has never crashed. And I don't have to worry about defragging or any of that bulls*** either.

Now you can argue all you want that if you maintain a PC properly it will probably run fine without any crashes. This maybe true, but to be totally honest I've got better things to do with my time than spend hours on end staring at my computer screen in an attempt to get it to run correctly. The time I spend on my Mac for maintainence alone is absolutely nothing! (What's to maintain?) It does what I want, when I want every single time. Which is more than I can say for any PC I've ever had.

Add to that the fact that I haven't even got any anti-virus software running and never have. Try that with PC and see how long you last. And before anyone says that the reason there aren't viruses written for Mac is because there aren't as many Macs as PC's, who cares? The fact is I don't have to worry about them.

As far as I'm concerned, Macs are far more user friendly than any PC.

There has always been something illicit about playing for the other team.

Gabriel's MacBook doesn't arrive until... they start arriving, later this month, but save for platform-dependent gaming I've used my own Mac for every computing task this week. What I have ascertained is not that PCs as we know them lack good design, but that PCs as we know them have hardly any design to speak of. I'm not trying to be insulting. Use a Mac for a week, and we'll talk again.

I have edited autoexec.bat files in order to optimize the amount of available conventional memory, and I liked doing it, liked being the sort of person who could. As a PC user, enduring the grotesqueries of that experience is something that we are actually proud of. It's come a long way since then, jokes about "blue screens" and what not ring like tired vaudeville acts. But those struggles were certainly real, the battle wounds considerable, and now the skin has grown over it and to a certain extent we think this is just how it is.

I didn't even understand that's what was going on until I started to write this. Like men who love the wilderness for its savage and untamed qualities, I believe many of us are drawn to this stark brutality. That frontier living, the self reliance, the adversity. The Mac, like The Alliance in World of Warcraft, was easy mode.

I don't think that the Macintosh was inspired by ancient holy scrolls, found in a sea cave and excised from the original bible by a convocation of priests and wise men. But I do like it very much. It is extremely good at what it does, which is to say, exposing functionality.

APPLE AND MAC SUCK!

I agree with "jonnythan" WINDOWS BASED PCS ARE MUCH FASTER THAN APPLES AND IMACS!
