I recently got a worm on my PC that made me have to format my harddrive, it was a worm that infected every .exe you ran, so obviously that includes anti-virus software, then I had to format my hard drive. I swear to god, sometimes I feel like throwing it in the bin even though it's only a year old. Then again I only use it for gaming and 3d shit nowadays.

Today people buy macs for one reason. *cosmetic*
when they first appeared, the journalism folks used them a lot. Nice custom screen sizes and layout software.
after the atari and amiga failed many folks hopped on the mac for audio. nin/kmfdm highlight era. so forth

That's a fairly general opinion, I agree a lot of the people you see with macs are using them due to the cool factor, but don't tar every mac user with the poser brush

I used to use a mac and a windows machine, but ended up selling my pc (which was really hi-spec) cause it just couldn't cut it with the mac's processing power

If you've not seen it, it's worth watching the pirates of silicon valley, all about the early days of M$ & Apple

HACKINTOSHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

well, I was speaking about the "majority" of people. mac and pc can be on equal hardware ground when it comes to processing power. both upgradeable with the same technologies. i think you mean to say "...but ended up selling my pc cause it was a windoze box"

exact same here. I find it MUCH easier to organize my files with windows. there are simply many fewer sort options on macs, which is a big issue for me.

me too. i got a macbook recently and half expected to not get on with it because in the past i've found macs and laptops impossible to use, but i got used to it really quickly and am a covert now. but like you said, the organisation side of things really lets macs down so i tend to use my PC for downloading and music storage etc

when describing processing power i was referring to the software side of things and how macs use system resources far better than windows

and i ended up selling my windoze box because i could do much more with my MBP and it was completely portable, you should try lifting one of these stnuc on a regular basis!:

I remember using Macs a lot quite a while ago. Windows 3.1/95 days.

used my old roomates mackbook quite a bit when he got it...but wasnt too impressed.

also can't find the older video for the sabayon distro. thing is SICK!

mint is prolly my fav out the box distro.

They're sick, and they make your place look dope at the same time.

They make your place look like a gay bar

Also, the best anti virus in the world for PC users is Norton Common Fucking Sense Edition®
I've run my machine for around 5 years now without copping a single virus. All about noscript and ad block <3

At home I have 3 Mac's and 2 PC's. I use the PC's for gaming(mouse drivers/exceleration) and the Mac's for internet browsing(safety) and music production(more raw power).
Really they are different tools, you wouldn't use a hammer to screw in screws.

on a side note, I still have the very first Mac I ever bought, almost 10 years ago, and it's still working like the day I got it. Can't say the same for my PC's, they only last a few years :/

My friends who are PC users always go on about how bad Mac specs are, how little RAM they have etc.
Even if they do, for everything that I want to do, they work perfectly so I'm not bothered.
