A Mac is better for buisnesses and the mature computer user. PC's are aimed at the younger age. Just look at Dell's commcercials.

Oh, so you're saying I'm old? HA!

My point is people slam anything they don't understand. Games will run just as good on Mac or PC with equal specs. The only reason there are more games for the PC is because there are more PC's out there. If any of you guys ever get a chance to check out OS X you'll be impressed. And the new G5 is an amazing machiine.

Remember that most of the graphics of the games you play were done on Mac's.

Overhyped. The trailer video on their website made it look nice, but it's all a lie like their G3 was against PIII.

I test my company's propietary software ona machine running OS X as well as PCs. While the app runs well on a Mac, I'm still baffled by the way the OS works.

I guess you're right...I don't understand it, so I don't like it.

because PCs are way more upgradable, Mac you have to pretty much throw out and buy another one. Windows has a lot more "consumer" type programs (games, office tools, etc.) And if you need to do actual work, you can dual-boot Linux.

You're right, PC's are more upgradable because they have to be. Your 3 year old pc is more usless than my 3 year old Mac. And other than games there is Micorsoft Office for the Mac so I can pretty much do anything I need to do. There may be more choices becasue every Joe Blow average consumer dewd owns a PC. Glad you like to be included in that catagory.

Oh, and dual boot Linux? Ever heard of Yellow Dog Linux? Runs beautifully on my Mac.

so with a Mac I could use Linux and not play IL-2 Sturmovik,

with PC I can play IL-2 and then use Linux with a simple re-boot, hmmmm not such a hard decision.

1 - any 3 year old computer blows, apple or no apple.

2 - I can do anything I need to on a pc, not 'pretty much' anything like on an apple

3 - Seriously? You are proud of the fact that you have less choices?

I've used apples. I had one for a couple of years at work. I didnt see the advantage. Sure it was easier, much like training wheels are easier, but the options were limited for a more advanced user. Maybe that has changed, but whatever, they didnt sell me. Apple has an enviable position businesswise. Year after year they can offer less and charge more to a small group of customers whose loyalty is unwavering.
