Mac people make the same complaints about Windows. For some reason, I can leave my PC on for weeks at a time and XP never crashes, but for some reason the Mac people can't write a term paper on a PC without the hard drive catching on fire.

High end audio - commercial studio grade digital recording.



High end video - special effects and film mastering



I live in a world of both platforms, and know both fairly well. It depends where I interface as to which platform I use.



I don't know if it's still on there, but IBM's website used to say "designed on a Mac" at the bottom. Kind of ironic.

That's pretty much what I figured you meant. Now, everybody who needs their computer for that, raise your hand.

Yeah, you can leave a PC powered-on for "weeks at a time" without it crashing... it's when you actually start using it that it crashes. Plus you all have viruses; paths; specific ports for specific items, blah, blah, blah. Macs? All USB or FireWire and when you plug something in, it works!



The simplicity and stability of the Mac doesn't hide the fact that they're faster and more powerful than their PC counterparts. Mac still makes the truly fastest consumer-level machines. Yeah, PCs claim 2.53 Ghz, but Mac's RISC processors are measured on a scale that's way beyond PC processors. The dual G4 hasn't been surpassed yet.



And for those saying there's no Mac software, anything that runs on a PC can be run on a Mac with VirtualPC. Besides, other than gaymes, what else would you want anyway? There's MS Office for Mac. Hell, even MicroSoft realized that Mac shouldn't be ignored. Any photo-editing that's worth a crap is originally designed for Macs and then it's retro-designed to work on a PC.



PC. Peice of Crap. Hmm...coincidence?



Seriously, though, I don't hate PCs. The PC I use at work using NT4.0 has been pretty flawless. I just like Macs better.

WTF macs suck that is the end of it, with overclocking the new p4's are hitting 4 gigahertz and getting FSB of over 1GHz. The fastest Mac processor only operates at 1.4Ghz, and guess what NO OC A MAC. pc's own and macs suck, end of focking story. and macs used to own the graphics world.....10 years ago. pc's are better screw macs.

Please, I beg of you Mac people, stop saying stupid ****. My computer has been on for a little over a week, and I can still play videos, use Photoshop, surf the net, etc... What do I have to do to "actually start using" my computer? Oh, that's right...I have to open a ******* music studio and make some special effects on my $250 PC or I'm just wasting it.
