because the sense of elation they get when finaly getting something to work is greater than the frustration that it didn't work in the first place.



We are spoiled.



Macs WORK.



We maybe only 5 per cent, but we're the top 5 per cent.

    Reasons to use PC:



    1) FAST

    2) CHEAP



    These are the things that Macs don't have

    True (to a point) Leonis, but as long as they run Windows software, I think I'll stick to my slow, expensive Macs, thankyaverymuch.

    Oh, yeah! And let us not forget about the buttload of software and games the Wintel market enjoys.

    Don't forget they are fast and cheap.



    Also you can get support for 3 year old computers. Something Apple can't do.

    Fast, cheap. More like crap you sheep. and totaly un original. You know MicroSlosh is suddenly hard at work porting the code for iPhoto over so they have something to base their new unwritten, and unreleased photo software on.

    It's too bad their OS sucks.

    Don't get the topic? I use my PowerPC every day for graphics, web design, surfing, email.

    You know some people actually DO get work done using Windows machines.



    In fact, some people actually use BOTH!



    I say, use the best machine for the job. For many jobs, that's one of my Macs, but sometimes you need access to specific hardware or software that only runs on Windows (Virtual PC is not always an option).



    Sometimes, hard though it may be to believe, a given program actually runs better and faster on a state of the art PC, than it does on a state of the art Mac.



    Don't get me wrong, I prefer Macs and get most of my important work done using a Mac. But it's overly simplistic to say "All PCs suck! Windows users are morons!"

    ...they don't know better.



    Macs are like cars. Your PC is a Chevy while the Mac is the Mercedes.

    You can choose your own hardware, choose your own OS, and you won't get threatend with a lawsuit if you try to create a theme making app. Microsoft won't send you a firmware update to prevent you from upgrading. Also, PCs are faster, less expensive, very reliable if you avoid the cheapo Compaq/eMachines lines and you have more control over your computer than you do with a Mac.
