PC vs Mac

I just want to brag that I recently bought a 30" Cinema Display, and It is totally awesome.

 

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

 

You may now glare at me with monitor envy.

Sucker. :cup:

 

I'm stuck with my itty-bitty 20 inch Apple Cinema monitor....

 

I saw th 30-incher at a store in NYC last year and frankly, it looked *too* big for comfort.

Surely there is no such thing as too big! :hihi:

My dad has a 32-inch Samsung LCD! I'm left with a 19 incher. :(

That was not aimed at you Jay, i have just noticed that there are 2 types of people, ones who like macs and ones that say macs are bad and all my discussions with such people trickle down to "they are bad because they cost more".... thats when i shake my head and put out a phrase like the one above.

 

and MIT kegorators are cool :hihi:

I like my Mac but I find if you are trying to do something new, it's not as easy to work out the sequence for running a program, unlike a PC (As they say in Norfolk (England) where I come from, 'It's like going round the Peepot to find the handle'). It drives me crazy sometimes (other times I have no excuse, for being that way).

Ive just had a PC for so long I feel very comfortable with it so why switch. Unless I see something in Mac that I must have I won't switch from PC. And IMO when Mac added windows XP to their computers they were showing a "if you cant beat them join them" attitude.

WEll, technically they didn't "add Windows XP" - they released a huge patch (BootCamp) which makes some changes to the software layer so that Windows can be installed. Whether you want to run XP or not is up to you - you'd have to buy a valid license for it.

FYI BootCamp is merely a bunch of drivers for Apple hardware for windows and a boot loader... nothing more, does not do anything to software layer, you are thinking of Parallels, that allows you to run windows with no emulation for the same reasons as UMLs, it takes a part of your memory and allows windows to get almost direct access to hardware...

In your oppinion what is the difference between PC and Mac today?

And the attitude was: "Why make something people will do anyways hard? We are Apple, even dualbooting should be easy..." Nothing else, OS X (which runs a BSD kernel) is a much better OS then Windows anyways, always was, always will!
