Mac vs. PC

=HA.

[SoulKiss]

^^ Sick! Haha.. so true

ha ha ha.

I love the mac vs PC thing. Ive discovered this;

Gamer = PC
None gamer = PC
None gamer with too much money or too much sense of style = Mac

This doesnt include the console, and anyone who says PC gaming is too expensive needs to re learn maths tbh. Console (inc over priced games, PC games are about 33% cheaper on release) + cheap pc (for internet and office type stuff) = Gaming PC (which does it all), Or MAC + Console = top of the range Gaming PC...

Simple.

I get what your saying, and I like my PC's, but Im also a big fan of consoles. I have a basic media pc for internet, films etc. and an xbox 360 for gaming. probably could have bought a decent gaming rig for what I have spent, but personally I prefer playing games on the xbox so thats where my money went.

I don't do games, Nor have I ever used or seen a mac.

I just want processors that give me ummph and an operating system that works.

So here I am sat at a screen having pulled my hair out having been told to port a C application to windows to discover windows does not support fork or any of the IPC API functionality. So off to try cygwin for a quick and dirty fix.


Agghhh. Why cannot the world be linux where an app will run under most banners.

and my OS's go in order

GEC OS4000, Primeos, OS9, RT11, RTX, VMS, SUNoS, Solaris, Linux and then windoze variants. Windoze just does not make sense to me. so to answer the question MAC vs PC? Definitely a PC but with a proper OS. I like to be able to tell it what I want it to do. Not prat about with a window/mouse when I can simply type a command.

This is why i use windows and not linux

I completely disagree, I am currently studying for a degree in Audio Recording technology, for this subject (and most media subjects) and for working in that industry mac is really the way forward. Lots of the audio software I use is aimed to be used on Mac OS, also being able to bootcamp your hard-drive allows running your mac in Windows aswell just incase there's a little bit of software I need that only ever made it to Windows.

Yes they may be expensive, but they were initially made for the media industries, and due to performance and functionality it is specialised to the reasons I use it for. Beside if you had the money.... admit it, you'd buy one....

Is the software mac only?

Not sure where your coming from on performance, as a PC can be made to match or exceed a given Macs performance. Performace in what aspect?

No, i personally wouldn't buy one, and that is for the same reason i dont buy alot of biker related crap, its overpriced with out justification.
