Mac or PC?

PC != Windows

PC's are not just limited to Windows based machines - how about Linux - you have the benefit of the PC hardware platform and it's interchangeable hardware - plus you escape the problems of WIndows ?

I'd vote for PC-Linux if it were a choice.

There's no difference between a "Mac" or "PC". Windows, Linux, OSX run both hardware setups.

I use both + Linux, all 3 have there strengths & weakness!

I run a kitted out Windows XP machine and from here I choose to emulate other OS such as Macs, Linux and even Vista/Window 7 RC1 etc.

If I need to use a certain OS for something e.g. Apple Final Cut Pro or something that another OS is preffered to be used in, then I first emulate and see if I can run it off of there, if not, then I dual-boot it on my hard drive. I have a 1TB (yes, tera-byte) hard drive and a 500GB Desktop Drive, so Im not running out of space anytime soon!

I still remember the days of -- You have a 10 MB hard drive!! Wow that's huge! Would only cost you 5x the amount of todays TB hd's.

My first PC was 20GB HD, 64MB RAM and was twice as big and twice as expensive as my current one!

My first PC had a 110mb drive, 256kb of RAM and a 2mb graphics matrox card. That set me back £2,500.

My first one had no hdd at all, 5,25" boot floppy's and less than 1mb ram

Think if i count up i have around 7TB at home at the moment, storage is very cheap these days and now with the first 2 and 2.5TB hard disk's comming up i like it!

Ihave both Mac and a PC..My wife mainly used the Mac(shes a bit more artsy than me) I love the mac for entertainment purposes, but when it comes to work I work only on a PC. But i did install VM fusion ware, so I have windowsXP on there also. This allows me to have both mac and windows open at the same time. I can also drag files back an forth between the 2.
