Mac or PC?
#11
I ROFL'd so hard! good luck with that one, OK! haha
EDIT:
MAC's biggest advantage is also it's biggest disadvantage; MACs are proprietary technology!
PC's biggest advantage is also it's biggest disadvantage; PCs are not Proprietary technology!
I hate using macs if im trying to do crazy nerd stuff, but I tell you what; if a comp illiterate granny needed a comp, id totally tell her to get a MAC.
I do all my PS work on a PC, but I teach my PS class on both MACs and PCs at the same time. Most software that has been ported is still very similiar across platforms.

As much as I hate Microsoft and Windoze I am a PC man. It's my job, what can I say.

You must not know much about them? I can run Windows or Lepord, I have microsoft word, powerpoint, excel, and entourage. I don't need a computer for PS and technical stuff so get off my nuts.
IMO Mac is a great choice, I'm a student (which is who they are designed for) and it's all I need.

I have built my own systems since 1995. So I've been a PC guy. But Windows 98 was the last one I bought. Been Linux under the hood since 1999. What do you think Mac's OS X is based on?

Your correct, OsX is based on Unix, but Linux is also based on Unix.
I'm a PC user myself, currently using XP on one computer, Linux Mint on another on, and Window 7 on the last one.
I have used Mac's in the past, but even though, most ppl in my line of work tend to use Mac's (Graphic Design) I don't care, Photoshop actually performs better on windows machines, and even though Mac's are almost virus free, I can't see spending that type of money for a computer, especially now that Mac's are x86 based, it's the same hardware as a PC, just costs more with a different OS. So if I really want to be worry free, and not be able to run windows based software, I'll go with Linux. Which I really think Linux runs better than Windows or Mac honestly. But I still like to play games, so I must keep a Windows PC around.

I was unaware they bought NEXT. My bad. But the desktop is a co-oped version of the Gnome desktop. But again six of one half dozen of another.
Hey Rocky, why not do a dual boot machine?

I used to dual boot Linux and xp, when I had a desktop, but the reason I don't anymore, is all of my pc's are now laptops, much easier for work purposes to just have computers I can carry around with me. And I'm still using the hard drives that came with them, and the laptop with the largest hdd is only 250 gigs, so I need the space, so only one OS to a computer. Although I'm currently thinking about building a new desktop, cuz I'm starting to do video editing, and I need allot more processing power, so if I do that I'll at least get a terabyte drive. And I may dual boot again.
