your chances of going home with a hot girl at the end of the night are increased by 10 with a powerbook, compared to a toshiba/dell etc.

Even if I have man-boobs and only one testicle? Will this work for an old G4 tower? Maybe if i strap one to my back next time I go to a club, I'll get lucky....

PC users just don't understand the intangible and illogical quality that a glowing Apple logo exudes.

To each his own. Just use what works for you. Live and let live.

I have a PC and Mac. I have to personally say that my Mac has never let me down Live. I use Serato Scratch and Live and both are so stable.
PC is not bad for websurfing, but all in all OSX and current Macs are so solid and smooth..I have had friends on PC on stage and their setups would not start or config problems..Ok they are cheaper but for me not better as OSX and the hardware are well tuned together.
I feel so confident to use them in front of large crowds... Of course this is all personal preference.
