Do you have a mac?

No, I don't have a Mac, because I like playing games and using lots of third party software more than I like having a sleek looking idiot proof computer.

Substance is worth far more than style in a computer, in my opinion.

Yeah, but you can't do your own repairs with a Mac, you have to send it back to the place you got it from. Add onto that the fact that you have to pay for things like iMovie (which come free on Windows [Movie Maker]), and that most modern PC games don't work on a Mac without VMWare or some other go-between.

Mac is nice for someone who doesn't know how to set up their own computer, but once you graduate up to big boy pants, you really should consider going with the more modular, more-transparent workings of the PC.

I wonder if you guys realize that the first parody against macs was that idiot that excessively used his hands when he talked. Just though I'd bring that up because you guys started it and the mac nation obviously finished it.

Wow amazingly the PC users who have voted only outnumber the mac users 3:1. That's really interesting because according to wikipediaMac holds only 6% of the market in the USA.
Lots of nerds on this site. :)

... I've never used a mac, so I got no clue how they are to work with, but...

... The company does an excellent job with product placement at a targeted audience. Macs are for the hardcore art types, yes? Every time you see any kind of artist on TV or in a film with a computer, it's a mac.

... Here in Japan, nobody has a mac... well, some people might, but I've never seen one. There's one mac shop, I heard, up in Tokyo.
