New Computer- Mac v PC?
Se7en:
You can make any technological argument you like, but utimately the PC is the dominant platform, so its better supported, has better software avaliabilty, less compatibilty problems, and its cheaper, and faster. This is all because PCs outnumber macs 10 to one. Put the bulk of industry effort behind ANY platform and it will become the best one, regardless of its origins.
Lots of people argue against macs by talking about hte things PCs can do that macs cant.. but thats a silly argument. The real argument against macs, is that anything a mac can do, a PC can do too, so the PC wins because of the factors i mentioned above.

Don't you mean IBM-to-Intel switch? My sister's boyfriend works for IBM. He told me that his supervisor held a scary meeting to convey the bad news. Then like a week later there was another meeting where his supervisor was all "Fuck Apple, we don't need them! We got XBOX!"

I meant that havind a PC in addition to a Mac can be useful sometimes. I imagine that he already has Word. Therefore, he wouldn't need to buy Word for Mac. He could just convert Word files into a different format if he needed them on his Mac. Saves some money on buying expensive Microsoft products.
Also, IBM doesn't make the processor chips for Apple. They're Motorola PowerPC chips. At least, that's what I've always heard.

Wait, there's even one? I've never heard of it...
Anwyay, whoever said that you can't compare security on Mac and Windows is spouting complete bullshit. On a PC you need all kinds of firewalling and spyware/adware protection. On my Mac, all I run is the built-in firewall. It's because Mac OS X is based on Unix, and Windows is based on DOS. Guess which one has more holes then swiss cheese...

See, thats the kind of responce I get from many of my friends- no real reasons, just some bull- opinions are nice, but they arn't very good reasons to stay away from things.

Geezems, what do you expect? There isn't a real reason but I wanted to tell you that I thought it was annoying switching between the two. What argument is anyone going to make? PC's are better because you can have 4 letters as an extension instead of 3?
The best thing about macs is that word automatically puts the word count at the bottom of your pages when you're typing a page. That made me really happy. And it was really nice that I could make it say "It is my fault master, I did it, I am sorry now." Whenever photoshop had a error.
I'm sorry if mac people didn't like what I said, but most of the time, people who have had a pc for a long time or in the first place prefer them, and vice versa. And there are a few people who switch, but it's usually when they didn't use the other one very much, or they thought it was confusing, or there was a really cool specific thing they wanted. Switching anything is stressful. It's like moving, and trying to get your couch up the stairs.
*sniffle* Don't you insult dos! I don't care if it's flawed! That is how I open all the games of my childhood! I miss typing D://setup.exe/theislandofdrbrain or however it goes! I miss the three screens of error when I forgot a slash!
