Well, I'm an american, and as a stubborn american, I can't possibly agree with you. Therefore, if you tell people that PCs are the way to go, clearly a Mac is better than a PC!

Damn you, british hugh, damn you to hellfire!

:idea: In that case as my name really is Hugh Grant :P i shall be an english Gent and i shall have to agree with your sense and your sensible talk.

It is agreed that the mac takes the favorite, and is therefore better than the PC.

Good job.


:wink:

Have access to the best of both worlds (OSX and Windows) on a Macbook. You will not be disappointed.

The answer is obvious...
If you're an elitist, psuedo-Buhddist, proprietarian cultist- get a Mac!
If you want the biggest variety in 3rd party plugs and believe in "power-to-the-people"... buy a PC.

1- you can run xp or osx on same machine, separate boot or at same time using parallels.

2- using osx, i have 0 crash, i really can say the APPLE OSX its really stable, anyway with good quality hardware, and correct configuration, XP its very stable. Anyway macs machiens are stable not for the hardware, mac machiens are stable due the OSX (the operative system apple use)

Funny thing is.... Every single time I have ever touched a Mac in my life, it has crashed. I'm not joking. I'm not exaggerating. It happens at the Apple store, EVERY TIME. It happens with my friends' G4 PowerBooks, and MacBook Pro. It happens on G5 desktops, too.

I have never touched a Mac that didn't crash on me.


In 20 years of using PCs.... I never once had a crash.... until I got an Allen & Heath Xone 3D a few months ago. Their drivers were shit, and I had my first PC crash ever. So I returned the mixer to A&H for a full refund, and I've been running perfectly ever since.



I'm not really trying to argue which platform is better. Just tossing my personal experience out there for you consideration.

Macs and PCs are the same damned thing. They are identical inside. They only differ in 2 ways:

1. Apple's look different cosmetically.

2. Apple's allow OSX to be run on them.



Besides that.... no difference.


Oh yeah..... one more difference. Since Apple decided to throw stores in malls all over the country, it means I would have to pay sales tax if I buy one. If I order a PC from just about anyone, I pay no tax.

I think you are confused.

Getting macs and pc's mixed up like that.

Macs dont crash.

In 20 years of using PC's i find it very hard to believe you never experienced a crash.

Did you forget to switch the PC on??

yeah similar for me, I have actually had far more problems with macs

but the other day when I wasted a whole day because the software update updated to 10.4.8 and itunes to 7 and it fucked everything, I thought about why my experience with macs has been far more disappointing than with PCs

the reason I think is because "back in the day" I used to play games like doom on a 486 and so way back then I used to spend many hours pissing about with DOS figuring out how to make the soundcard work etc

so I think I'm just more used to PCs and fixing their hangups so to me Win XP feels like a dream - I NEVER have problems with it
