:rolleyes: 

What do you think I meant?

I said on the same lines as you were saying about it depending on the user of the machine, batting for the Mac side merely stated that you preferred the Mac side. Batting for the other team doesn't automatically question someone's sexuality. :rolleyes: 

"PC pwns end of", erm I said the machine. The pure components. The PC does pwn the Mac's components which is precisely what the Macintosh owner stated at a conference. They then decided to use the components originally designed for the PC. Mac's would have been completely flushed out the toilet without them. 

It was a very good move on Macintosh's part. I'd have done the same.

Mac's are a brand. That's the difference. Everyone I know goes on about the styling, which is fair enough I suppose, but the thing that has caused the PC's success is that it is so versatile. So many manufacturers make them nowadays and they are getting far more powerful then anyone could have imagined ten years ago.

The thing is, there are so many arguments about PCs vs Mac's but they are pretty  much completely different things.

Mac's, or at least the newer MACHINES are just PCs. Previously they were like PC's but not as good.

The SOFTWARE side's of things, that is a whole new ball game. Macintosh's operating system vs Windows, it all comes down to the user.

The reason why IMO the PC's machine is better then the Mac's and that doesn't come down to the user is because you can by a new PC and leave it alone. Just as you would a Mac. However, you can consistently upgrade a PC, that you cannot a Mac.

Going back to the software, Linux pwns the both of them, Windows' and Macintosh's OS. Linux will run on both, your DVD player, your TV, even some Microwave ovens, watches, mobiles the lot.


(Oh and mods, I think you got the wrong end of the stick. I have NEVER signed up to this site before, let alone spammed it. I have read your rules and I have broken none.)]]></content>

[quote=MASTERPROD]Macs have really good video editing software like Final Cut, but their really expensive and you can only buy or download programs that were made for Macs. With a PC, you can always get Sony Vegas or just download a bunch of freeware.[/quote]
You do realise that you've basically said the same thing in regards to both platforms, don't you? Plus, the Express version of Final Cut isn't that expensive actually.

And if you have an Intel mac you can get emulators that allow you to run Windows apps on OS X (I haven't tested Wine for Mac on mine yet though) - there's currently no way to do the reverse on Windows, and believe me I've looked. Of course, many get by with iMovie just fine; but I will admit that the lack of multi video tracks is a bit of a pain.

[quote=LegoDudez]Less to worry about: better made; more sucre; better with Adobe; more compatible; does what a PC does; good software; awesome OS.

Cons: Expensive. Less open source.[/quote]
The open source bit is correct, but I would like to add that it shouldn't be mistaken for less freeware. If you know where to look (and you're looking at an expect here), you can find a lot of very good free programs. Just beware of backwards compatibility; Apple has the worst attitude towards it I've ever come across.

The price is another matter but hey, if you're a student it's worth inquiring about the discounts at the Apple Store nearest your college/university - I got my 24" iMac for nearly the same price as the bottom end 20" one because my Uni was just down the road from where I brought it.

[quote=Greenscreener Studios]True, :) But the only reason Mac computers don't get many virus's is because most viruses are made for PC, since most people use PCs. ( :P  )[/quote]
That's partially correct, but mostly misinformed. It's true that there are very few viruses for OS X, but the real reason why it's less of a problem is because of how the Unix system works - installing anything requires your password (if you don't recognise it, don't allow it, it's that simple) and it's very hard to actually have something download without your knowledge (I'd say impossible, but yesterday Firefox 3 managed to get a download going behind my back - although when I think about it, my wireless connection was being a bit screwy at the time and it was trying to finished an add-on update). Of course not having anti-virus software is still risky if you are constantly trading files with a PC - even if it won't work on a mac the virus is still there, and [i]will[/i] activate once it's on the correct OS.

For the most part, I prefer macs because OS X is more geared to the way I think and work - Windows is just not designed to effectively handle multi-tasking in multiple applications (following online tutorials on a PC is tedious and cumbersome). OS X also has a much better search implemented in comparison and cooperates with Wacom tablets a lot better (something's off in how Windows handles them, but I haven't worked out what yet). But, in Windows' favour, it handles 3D work and games better and has less qualms with printers (for some reason, the printing alignment on my Lexmark is off when printing from my mac, but fine when printing from my laptop).

But really, at the end of the day it's all about personal preference and what you're willing to pay.[/quote]


This guy is on similar lines to me but bats for the Mac team.

I will however disagree with you. It has nothing to do with Unix. It would be easy for anyone with Unix coding knowledge to overcome such password issues.

PC vs Mac machine: PC pwns end of.

Software: Windows is a far more versatile OS, Mac's aren't as much. But it's all preference. But Linux FTW.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[There is only one reason Mac's don't get the virii that PC's do.

A far smaller percentage of the worlds population use PC's.

I.E, nobody cares enough about Mac's to create virii.

PC's are simple to use, despite what the know-all's in the Apple shop tell you and won't go wrong if you listen to the advice of skilled people on the matter. Mac's are like close-knit communities where everyone does as their told and nobody is allowed to come in or leave, the community is stuck, doing the same day in day out.

Also, Mac claim no drivers are ever needed.

Why does Epson have Mac driver downloads on their site then?

Argue all you want, Mac's vs PC's, it depends on the user.]]></content>
