Are You A Mac or A PC?

[BoxShot]

PC since most applications are made for the pc so.

I personally hate everything Apple and their fanboys.

 

[Anteo]

I'm neither... I am PmaC, the alpha and the omega! Actually I'm PC :3

 

[enarky]

I use Ubuntu on my PC and Mac OS X on my, erm, MacBook. I am human. I think both PC and Mac fanboys are the worst kind of people.

 

[Bloodgod]

^ any fanboy is the worst kind of people.

BTT I use both. PC general shits and giggles, MacBook Pro work, MacMini component for Home theater

True that.

Windows and Linux.
No *distro in particular, just whatever proves itself to be best for my usage at the time when I install it.
although, macs severely suck

What is considered a PC?

 

[NightKry]

PC... never bothered with apple. Supposedly, macs are better than PCs... or so my info tech teacher claims.

Then again windows steals every idea apple comes up with...

 

[Domination]

I'm a human who uses windows.

I think I was a Mac in my previous life

 

[emupaul]

Moot topic. I use all and any kind of computer in general. Doesn't matter what flavor. They all do the same thing in the end....its great to have choices.

I currently have 5 Macs and 1 PC in active duty around the house & garage. All my day to day stuff is done on a Mac and has been since I retired my Amigas in the mid 90's. I fire up the PC primarily to help me fix/de-louse other people's PC's, but I also use it to load up my EZFA cart for my Gameboys.

I caught a lot of shit for using Amigas back in the day, and caught plenty of shit for using Macs as well. That never really made sense to me why people are so vehemently against a brand of computer/car/coffeemaker/gameconsole. They should probably figure out something better to concern themselves with than someone else's personal preferences.

I use Macs. I'm not rich, or elitist, but I am pretty old and hip.

I'm triple booting XP Ubuntu and Leopard all on this computer, so an "All" option would have been nice. I've gone with Mac since I'm using one (although currently I'm on XP because I was playing Synergy...). It's just such good quality compared to every other computer I've had before, which are quite litterally falling to pieces. And it can run Crysis on high detail, so it's ftw.

I'm a borg actually.

I can recognize that it is cool to own a large HD tv which recieves signal from my computer which is fed through a PS3.

Now as for Mac, well it's taken longer to bugger off than Sony Beta or IBM DOS, but really, it's just a computer sold as a module meant to run 'the other guys OS'.

The whole concept of Mac or PC just shows the person knows little about computers. It should be asked Mac or Dell or HP, or Alienware or [insert other company name here] that markets ready made computers.

Or in my case a brand name for monitor, case, powersupply, motherboard, ram, hard drive, disc drive, video card, audio card, keyboard, mouse, speakers. Because I bought it all independently. And I can assure you I can run circles around both a Mac and Dell for instance.

i like pc better n i got used to it so if i change then itll b hard to udjust

 

[ojsinnerz.]

XP user here. I'll probably upgrade to 7 when it comes out.

Not a big fan of macs, as I never thought they were incredible or whatnot. I enjoyed it's flashy looks and the speed, but nothing really more. It's not as if there were programs or software that I needed, so it had no use for me. The price you pay to purchase them is quite ridiculous, but thats just how Apple rolls.

PCVista.
At school, Mac

Same here Except when I saw the price of a legal version of 7 looks like Microsoft is trying to be Mac over $90 and up, also tried Mac once confusing as hell.

I'm a Mac. I became frustrated with the XP-running Dell in my house, and my middle school computer lab passed the "iKool-Aid" to me.

I still virtualize/Boot Camp Windows (Vista and 7 RC), but not too much. Usually, it's just to change a thing or two on my Wii's SD card. I know, it could be done in Mac OS X, but I hate garbage files every OS generates (Thumbs.db and .DS_Store).

 

[dkelley]

Why the hell would anyone need a pc except for the cheap price? since mac's run windows just as fast as pcs run windows with a quick reboot and even if you run windows apps within a window on a mac using parallels or vmware fusion it runs at virtually full speed, there's absolutely zero reason to own a pc unless you can't afford a mac.

that being said, the price factor is a real problem for many people and I totally agree with the idea of buying a nice pc for $500 rather than having no computer at all. but I'll take the ability to run mac osx with it's 10000 times better command line (for us power users) and it's far more responsive and quick to use gui PLUS the ability to run windows apps perfectly within a window on my mac. There's zero reason not to do that if you can afford it.

learning osx is dumb simple, and taking advantage of it's incredible configurability thanks to scriptable folder actions makes OSX a far FAR more customizable and powerful gui based OS for us power users than windows will ever be.

when OSX came out, windows xp trumped it for configurability and power user stuff (other than the amazing osx bsd-based command line). but these days with EVERYTHING in OSX being modifyable with simple scripts that you can create visually or download from all over the internet, I repeat there is zero reason why anyone, newbie or power user would prefer windows once they take 4 or 5 days to actually thoroughly sit and learn to use OSX properly and go past the obvious basics.

Windows, just for the compatibility and games
