But nothing can beat the paper-eating PC: http://www.apple.com/switch/stories/ellenfeiss.html691175002 said:
(And that's not a mock-up, that's a real thing from the official Apple site.)
Now I'm dying of laughter... Thats also the biggest lie I have ever heard...
One night, I was writing a paper on it, when all of a sudden it went berserk, the screen started flashing, and the whole paper just disappeared.
How is that suppost to happen? If anyone can show me something that does that I will eat a sponge (or something).
... screen started flashing... hahaha loser...

here are a couple of things about a mac. 1. MAc are not that populer and a little harder to upgrade. 2. The Mac OS is unix base. 3. you can overclock a mac(some sodiering is requered). 4.The mac OS is not the only OS that will run on mac. Linux will run on it with out the mac os(i have done it all ready to a mac). 4. Thier cpus are made by IBM and Motraola. 5. Lot of the PC ram, HDD, Opict drives will work with the mac.
There are a few reasons why some people think macs are better, every one of them stupider than the last
1) Lack of support means fewwer virus/hack attempts
2)Upgrading is easy, you just buy a new computer
3) and not even sure if its true, but they are better for video editing or at least more often at video making companies (not animating companies)
4) they look better, on the outside, but as any pc person knows, you can easily change a computers case... (also this one only aplies to newbs who dont know what a custom pc is)
Its kind of like the I-Pod, everybody says its better, but when it boils down to it, I can get a 40gb mp3 player with better organization for half the price of an ipod...
->There only better due to ignorance...<-

Id never pay for a machine with a floppy drive.
Because generally they do. x86 platforms are catching up however.
LOL
Dont tempt me.
Well there ya go
My firewall, for the most part, negates the neccessity of having antivirus as wellNot an advantage
Again not an advantage
Sounds like catch-up

Prae what firewall do you use just wondering?
P.S. As for macs they can get viruses. I refer you to this thread http://www.sysopt.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=179058 which was posted on sysopt about general mac hacking and viruses.

I have heard that the reasons why Macs are surpose to be better is becasue they are not so hungry. As you could have a Mac and another normal based PC with same or similar components and the Mac would run better as they dont for some reason require so much. But im unsure about this comment and have never personally used a Mac.

eh, well I've read bits and pieces here an there but admit that I did not read all what people had to say . Let me share my personal opinion. First I wanted to comment on the guy that said there are no virus's on Macs, Your wrong! there are indeed virus's on macs as well as any PC loaded with your favorite flavor of Linux. There are however so little compared to Windows that you tend not to notice the reports of such viruses. With the way that the file system is set up on a Unix based system it's almost impossible for viruses to spread which is one reason for the lack of. Microsoft's tightly knitted product just begs for a viruses to spread.
Macs are overpriced underpowered machines. They are pretty and are great for Audio/Video editing right out of the box and do the job well. PC's do need a bit of setting up as already mentioned and are much better editing machines when set up properly. It was also mentioned that they are used by others just simply to be different and although I don't believe that to be true for all I definitely believe it to be true for some. A well built PC can do everything and more that a mac can do but for allot less money spent.
As for Lorands claim for not getting any viruses without virus protection... I have a friend (yea I really do) that has used his PC for nearly 2 years now and is online pretty much everyday and has not been infected once and only runs the Windows firewall and various spy ware removal tools. I do understand that it's easy to get a virus just by connecting to the Internet but lets face it, most people practically go looking for them.
