There's two down sides about a Mac...

You have to run it on a Mac computer(unless it's hacked)

They don't run games...

Mac will run on a normal pc but discussing how to do that is against the forum rules, anyways Brian you should get a Mac. it has helped me in many ways, its a pretty all round good OS (too bad many ppl hates it)

i hate it... hate to say. i never tried it i am just against the mac " cant change anything" although it does have a reliable os. i will just get a mac mini and just use it to fool around. need to save up a few pay checks and come up w/ a excuse of why i need to get it for my parents/ brother... they will ask for 100 years why i will get it.

edit need a lot of paychecks

. need to work more

I don't use macs very often, but for some reason, I find it really fun. Its almost like playing a game or something.
