Do you think PC is better than mac?

:ugh3:
 
I'd rather not discuss about it. It's all up to the users for what they want to buy and how much they can afford it. I've seen way too many Mac vs PC arguments, it's enough.

That's it.
 
:ugh3: Why I'd bother answering this easy question...

Depends!

If you are familiar with Windows file system like C:\, E:\, etc. then Windows is for you. I say Windows because since you said PC vs. Mac, Mac is considered a PC, too. PC is Personal Computer. If you don't like the convention that NTFS/FAT/FAT16/FAT32 use, but still like ease of use, Mac is for you.

For me, I like the convention of something like C:\, E:\, etc. and Windows is for me.

There's more than just file system. If you don't mind locking to a certain hardware that Apple designed and don't mind not be able to build your own computer, then go with Mac. You'll have less choice of choosing which hardware components you want to use, including the computer case. But if you do like to build your own computer, then go with either Windows or Linux.

I agree. Too many debates, and sometimes can get out of hand, like "hey get a Mac...Mac is more securer than Windows..." But should an operating system be taken as a security defense? No! A user who's using a computer should be a security defense. That means, a Windows user who got into a habit of opening attachments in e-mails may still continue to use thier habit when they switch to Mac.

But anyway, please do a search before posting... :iough:
 
:dunno:

I've always used both; they each have pros and cons, depending on what the user needs.
 
Macintosh is the most sophiscated operating system. It's simple yet powerful. Its user interface is consistent. It's more resistent to viruses.

Windows is nowhere that. Windows suck. What it excels tho is the vast availablity of software while Macs are more limited with its software.

I have both Wintel and Mac. Macs are simply the best.

This is one of my reasons why I hate Macs.
 
I strongly prefer PCs rather than Macs.

I don't know why, but I never felt comfortable
with Macs anyway.
 
I'll be a contrarian...I choose Linux over both the PC (assumes Windows) and Mac!
 
I have always liked Mac because I feel it is simple to use. I feel it's more secure, and the quality is better. Of course, I have never seen a modern Mac, but I used to have one in the late 90's. I always liked it better than PC's. I am sure it's the same today like some people agree with me :). I still have my old Macintosh, and I do not know what to do with it. I don't give it away because I am not sure how to erase the old information before I recycle it or give it away. I know my college used a very old Mac computer for a game (something to do with learning).

Since you said that you've never seen a modern Mac in bold text. Here's the web site at www.apple.comThey have local Apple Stores to check them out in real life.
 
Easy! Take the hard drive out of the computer, open the cover of hard drive in filthy environment, disassemble the disc and run under strong magnetic field, then smash it. Its gone forever! Actually once the hard drive cover opens the damage is DONE UNLESS its open in super ultra clean room. Then the rest you can trash it without worry about data being stolen.

Well, OS-wise, I am a GNU/Linux (Linux) user. I am sick of Windows, and I don't miss it at all. I use Linux on all my PC hardware.
 
The last time I touch Apple's computer is Apple IIe and that was back in 1983. I never touch MAC and I don't know if I would ever. I am not crazy about MAC because of compatibility and software availability issues. So Im sticking with PC and going dual boot with Windows and Linux.

I do NOT like using PC to refer to Windows because a PC is hardware. :P

So technically, I am a PC user but not a Windows user. :D
