Re: are you a mac or pc user?

You should add a third option for Bi people.

(Pc = Windows? I don't think so, PC refers to the IBM-compatible personal computers as opposed to Macs and other machines that history forgot)

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

Why is the PC a black man? Are you biased or something? (lol)

"The term 'IBM PC compatible' is not commonly used today because all current mainstream computers are based on the PC architecture, and IBM no longer makes PCs. The competing platforms have either died off or, like the Amiga, have been relegated to niche, enthusiast markets. One notable exception was Apple Inc., whose Macintosh line of computers used non-Intel processors from its inception; first the Motorola 68000 family, then the PowerPC architecture until 2006, when Apple adopted the Intel x86 architecture."

Hence, Operating System aside, [B]THEY'RE ALL PCs[/B]!!!

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

I made the switch to Mac about a year ago and I wouldn't go back to PC for anything in the world. I have a new Macbook Pro and an old G5 Tower that have both been consistent and never give me problems.

Of cours my workstation at my office is a PC, but nothing to be done about that.

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

yeah, I mean it's stable and I haven't had any issues with it. But I feel like I should be playing Doom 2 on it when I remote in.

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

I'm on a pc and a mac and linux hosts every day, so i can't really vote one way or the other. :lol:

How is it possible that this poll came to a tie?

I guess it all boils down to what it is that do with your computer i.e. gaming, music production, video production, office shite, etc.

I had assumed this would be a landslide in favor of Mac

macs are hideously overpriced and over rated imo, you can get better for your buck if u can build your own

the old saying that the operating system is far superior is dwindling fast

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

Both....we have a Macbook Pro and a Samsung. I mainly use the Samsung, but only because he hogs the mac :lol:

Re: are you a mac or pc user?

There are myths abouts Macs that are really hard to debunk, they look beautiful and of course the general production values are superior, considering that most pc users don't want to spend more than 30 pounds for a case! "20 euros for a case, are you mad??", but that's where Apple's "magic comes in, everything inside their machines is assembled to become proprietary. No matter if they're buying hard-disks from the same manufactures, they'll use their own slids, their own screws and will sell the thing for the double. The same applies to LaCie, Apple's big partner in mystification. They look better, they MUST be better products.

Macbooks are by all means pcs as they're relying on Intel calculators. The much touted OS (ok, solid and secure, but with flaws, Finder is pretty poor as the system's shell) is Unix-based. So any hi-end laptop with 7 or Linux installed will accomplish the same.
