Mac or PC - Page 4

I made the chose to buy a Macbook and loved it. But not to long after I bought it I was offered Adobe CS, the only catch was it was for PC. What did I do, I partitioned my Mac Drive and loaded on XP and everything has been smooth rolling since. All my Music and Video editing is done on the Mac os side and then my design work is done on XP.

I'd like to ask those complaining of Mac compatibility how long they've used a Mac if at all.

I was a PC user until several years ago when a programmer friend of mine introduced me to the Mac UI and I've never looked back. No more expensive anti-virus software, nor BSOD, nor IE.

For the record, I have a PC and a Mac. I only use my PC to do my tax return and testing purposes.

I'm using PC both in work and at home. I've only tried my friends Mac a few times so I can't really give an opinion on it. I like to play games and I'm just used to Windows so I think I'll stick with PC for now. They're also a lot cheaper which is the winning factor for me

Here's what I want:
1 x iMac
1 x Mac Pro
(one for me and one for my fiancé)
2 x MacBookPro
1 or 2 x Air (for traveling and stuff)
Time Capsule
Apple TV

I need to win the lottery or something......

oh i just love macs, so clean and fresh fast and easy, I bit like my ideal woman i guess.

i just wish I could afford one! I keep having to delve into my "mac fund" to pay irritating things like heating bills and food, it's so unfair.

check out the new Macbook Air http://www.apple.com/macbookair/ (dribble)

My new macbook just arrived today and so far it's been pretty cool. I've been a PC user and this is my first switch. The only complain I have is that it doesn't work with my Creative Zen mp3 player, which sucks. This is why I wouldn't give up my PC notebook for now.
