For me, it's simply what can a Mac do for me that my PC can't? Nothing.
Wrong, it can beat you up, steal your girlfriend and your lunch money.

I remember browsing the internet on the "lynx" text based web browser.
So, are PCs heading in the right direction with Vista? From what I've read, Vista is a P.O.S. and OSX Leopard is awesome.

If you need to run ridiculously intense PC games or are super stuck in your ways about PC, then I'm sure you will be fine. But you aren't on here asking for buying advice in that case. For a regular consumer, who just wants something that works, and doesn't stop working, go get a Mac. You'll be happier.
You mean the type of consumer that just uses email and internet? XP, Firefox, and Thunderbird. Good night.
I have some cheap logitech two-button mouse that I plug into my mac. right click problem solved! If you don't have that, and want the right click option, hold ctrl use the uni/mono click.
Let me rephrase this in internet speak:
XP and Mozilla FTW!!!
All I know is, in the entertainment industry, Mac is the only way to go. All the editing software is being made just for Macs and the ones that can work on Microsoft Platforms are really pricey. I'm a PC guy, just because of my familiarity with it, but I'm one of a few that still use pc's.

Corvette Z06s because they are incredible track cars (they really, really are), but you sure don't want to drive one every day (you really, really don't).
Yes I would dammit. Yes I would!!!
Pretty much everyone in Hollywood is either using Avid, or Final Cut Pro HD editing systems (I believe Final Cut is only available to Mac Users). The difference in price is a few thousand dollars. Avid used to be the only game in town until Final Cut came around and gave people a system that they can afford, and before you know it filmmakers were editing their films at home.
Wow....you guys are pretty in depth here. Is there anyone else out there like me that is still wondering what Mac vs. PC is supposed to mean? PC=Personal Computer. Mac is also a Personal Computer, right? Why don't we refer to "PC" by company name like "Mac". That is really all I want to know, sorry for interrupting with such a boring question....if somebody could answer this for me and then you guys can go back to your in depth analysis. :wink:
Thanks. Now I can watch the commercials with a clear head.Mac refers to what was formerly known as the Apple Macintosh. PC refers to the IBM Personal Computer and compatible families of computers. So PC is technically a company brand as well. Had Apple allowed other companies to build clones (well they did, sort of, but that was short-lived), the entire family of Apple computers and clones would be referred to by "Macs", and Apple Macs would probably be distinguished by the company name, just as IBM PCs were for some time.
