Which do you prefer? Mac's or PC's?

born a fool · Nov 22, 2005

Just a simple poll, not meaning for it to turn into a debate :sexywink:

Notice that the title says "prefer" not "have".

I used one of the original G4's for 5 years and loved it, never had any serious problems with it. Never upgraded anything except for the RAM. Hardly ever crashed, ran like a charm. I liked the OS, the look, the simplicity of it, I was 98% happy with it.

Since then (last 6 years) I've been using numerous PC's at home and work. Eventually, nothing but problems on everyone of them. Plus, they are ugly, messy looking boxes with no style

Anyhow, I'm sure you've guessed what I voted! :mrgreen:

What a silly question. It's like asking people to choose between being loved and getting kicked in the groin repeatedly.
Of course there will be some misguided fools who say 'PC' - usually because they don't know any better*. In time they may come to see the error of their ways with help and counselling.

*And 'better' includes making your own PC using two cardboard boxes and a marker pen. It's an improvement because at least it doesn't keep crashing :lol:

Windows XP rarely crashes, and the new version is even more stable. I frequently use a Mac in the Recording studio, and I find it to be dummed down, user-unfriendly, and is style over substance (like The Matrix 2 and 3). Lets see...then there's the library of software available for each, the cost of the computer, and the general ease of upgrading.I used to love Macs, and I will be the first to admit that the hardware is about a year ahead of current PCs. But with a nightmare OS like it has, I'll take the one with a bit of substance...

But the thing I absolutely can't stand, even for a second is that the mouse only has one &*^$#% button!!! Context menus, people!!!

PC.

I've been raised on PC's but I wouldn't mind getting my mits on an Apple laptop to have a play with.

Operating System: (Windows 2000 Professional, Service Pack 4 (5.0 - 2195)) ¤ Installed: (2K was installed 154wks 1day 9hrs 48mins 8secs ago, to C:\WINNT) ¤ Uptime: (3d 16h 37m 58s)

Has crashed once or twice and that's normally because a programme has ballsed up, not windows.The computer gets reset every now and then. Normally it'll be running non-stop for over a week. Oh, and the cpu is over six years old.
So, nothing wrong with PC's...

I have to agree 400% with joe on everything he said!!

I always used to want a mac but that was when i was young and naive. Win XP is excellent and I don't have to have that pole stuck up my ass attitude just because I own a mac :greenpbl: hehehe.

My boyfriend uses a PC for his audio editing, runs Pro Tools and a heap of other **** on it with absolutely no problems. I have my ****ty laptop PC that runs Photoshop with no problems at all... what more can we ask for! :mrgreen:

I can hear the envy in your voice from here :lol:

And 'a Mac'? I have 7!

I'd say my PC has been on for upto six months without a restart or being turned off. I like some things with the mac some of apples programs are good.

iTunes>Windows Media Player - All the way, I hate WMP.
Aperture>/Photoshop???
