I don't understand all the hate for PCs. You always hear about the "blue screen of death" and other issues, but I've never had anything ever happen on one of my PCs like that. I think a lot of the problems with PCs happen because of "stupid user syndrome".

The fact that you were looking for that suggests you're a fag.

The fact that you probably have a Mac MEANS you're a fag.

But I don't want a PC. I prefer Mac. I'd rather spend the extra money for a better, more stable machine. OS X is better than any Windows OS. Any Unix-based OS is better than any Windows OS.
If a MAC is a more stable machine, and is better than any Window OS, then why does 95% of the business world use PC's?

That would have meaning if I posted a picture of a naked guy, but alas, I didn't... You did however.

Businesses do what they can to cut costs... Doesn't always make it right ;)

True, but wouldn't foolproof computers eliminate the need for IT, thus saving the company money? MAC would seem a valid choice, but it isn't, I wonder why?

Well I'm guessing because of the compatibility with various Microsoft suites, not because of the actual brand of computer.

However, I've seen more and more businesses going the way of Apple since compatibility is no longer that big of an issue.

Either way, it doesn't really matter to me. I use both PC's and Mac's and like both. I'm not a big fan of the Windows operating system, but Windows 7 has fixed some of my trust in Windows.

With that said however, I still prefer Mac OSX.

I actually have a large folder of pictures that I've found comical. That one happens to be in there.

I also use it for dirty nights when nobody is home.

I am both a MAC and a PC user, like both for different reasons.

I don't know why people have to only like one or the other.

I've got a MacBook, love it.

I've got a Toshiba Satellite, love it, no problems whatsoever. Though, it is quite large and mainly just sits on my desk, i use it mainly for World of Warcraft at home. :D

P.S. I work for a fairly large and highly-regarded tech company, lots of employees are switching over to Macs at the moment, they are being supplied to employees on request, to replace their PC's. The company is recognizing, regardless of cost, that they do offer advantages to employees, in certain instances.

I have no problems with Macs (personally, I hate using them --mainly because I'm not very good at Mac OSX), but I do have a problem with people who come in and say their Mac is SOOOO much better than any PC they've used.

Great. Keep it to yourself.

They treat it like they've joined some sort of cult.

I have a problem with people who have a problem with people who come into a forum to talk about their latest purchase.

My MacBook is THE best computer I've used.

Get the fuck over yourself.
