Which do you prefer and why ? I have nothing against Apple..the few that I have been around operated flawlessly compared to pc's.I own a pc and am too accustom to Windows.Not in the mood to literally start all over again but man I've been tempted.Any opinions ?

Switched to Appple over two years ago and I would never go back to Windows. Apple makes it extremely easy to edit video and burn DVDs which is something I always wanted to do. I bought a PowerBook and love it.

We recently bought a new PC since I need

Why does everyone keep perpetuating this myth?
Macs crash, Macs get viruses, Macs can be hacked, and there is loads of spyware that works just fine on a Mac.

Jimbo,

I've always been a Mac man, and have worked on PC's and there is absolutly no comparison. The only difference i see is in the software. If you like PC computer games then yeah, a beefed up pc with a great video card is your answer. I could go on about the

Well this graphic designer has been using Macs since 1989 and what few crashes I've ever had I've been able to fix up myself. And since OS X (a UNIX based OS), crashes are practically non-existent. Pay for tech support? Drop off my computer somewhere? Get

All my PC usng friends including the techier ones who work in IT drool over Macs. They love having to service Macs because they're no brainers - hassle free, a joy. What does that tell you?

However...I really like the inexpensive availability of software for the PCs. I can find any g

I'm a tried and true PC user, but I can appreciate the niche market the Macs provide ... they are solid and still have the edge for multimedia and graphics production. I've experienced lock-ups on Macs when taking multimedia courses, so they aren't as roc
