Which do you prefer PC or Mac?

I'm going with the PC, only because I have one. ;)

I'm going with the PC, only because I have one. ;)

ditto here.

i have heard Mac is the way to go if you are heavy into graphics or video,
pc is the way to go for everything else.

same over here...:)

alright, then I guess I'm on the right track;)

I have a PC but I really want an iBook. Oh well, I get one next year. My entire school board is buying laptops for everyone in grades 3 right up to last year high school over a 3 year span. How cool is that.

Yope, I also have a PC. I've tried Mac, and it's just, different if you know what I mean... :rolleyes:

PC

I currently use Windows, but I would like to try Linux sometime.

I heard Linux is very straight-to-the-point which I guess is good:) I'd like to try it sometime too...:P =)

9 nil to the PC lol

Me PC too.

I would have switched to Linux over the summer but I had just purchased XP :lol: Maybe next year when it crashes again.

PC here too :P I'd like to try a Mac for a bit though, just to see what it's like.

macs are evil, we use them at school :crying: I go with a PC b/c i like them

macs are evil, we use them at school :crying: I go with a PC b/c i like them

What's evil about them? All I know is there much more expensive than a PC. Just wondering incase I want to buy one in the future

PC with Windows... I haven't used a Mac in so long, but I hated them, lol. My elementary school used to have them for a while. By fifth grade, we had PCs and it's been like that ever since. I would never get a Mac for home, but maybe that's just me. A lot of the PC games I play aren't on Mac or have more issues on Mac computers. *shrugs* I'm planning on getting a laptop when I go off to college. That way I can take notes faster and visit the forum between classes... I mean, study between classes. ;)

umm well what's evil about them is that they don't work really well. And if you're like a beginner with MAC's then you have a very hard time. Also the new ones are conffoozling everything I put in the hardrive I can't find two minutes later :P

All I would need a laptop for is internet and a word processor basically, not that many games and such. I guess I'll just have to try it out myself. Some people at school love them and others hate them. Oh well, I can't wait to get mine!

I use PCs...Macs are too confusing for me... >_<

I have a PC, but we use macs for Computer Design at school. All I can think of when I sit down at that computer is, "Where's the right-click?"

I'd rather have right-click than a mac.

I personally like PC's, my school has macs and well, their harder for me to work on. Ironicly enough I find PC's more user friendly. I want to try linux some time.

macs hate me. everytime i try one, it crashes :(

*jaw drops* Ahhh! Do you get to keep them when you are done school?

*jaw drops* Ahhh! Do you get to keep them when you are done school?

No :crying: but at least we can keep them over christmas and spring break. Although, if I like it I might buy one in the future for university to take notes and stuff. I still can't believe though that there handing over 2000$ laptops (canadian) to little grade 3 kids.

Ive never actually even seen a mac, nevermind used one lol

I have a PC, with Windows 98 SE. I also have RedHat Linux...err, 7.2 I think? installed, but I haven't used it in ages. I might use it more often if I didn't have a stupid Winmodem, and I'm too cheap/lazy to get a new one.

I don't think school computers are a good thing to base an opinion off of. my school has PCs and I hate them :P well, the old ones anyway. they have/had IBM pieces of garbage that are about 5 years old, with Windows 95. 98 was out when they got them, but they have 95 because IBM had a whole bunch (at least 575+ of them, because that's how many the school claims to have) of old ones lying around that the school district got cheap. they upgraded most of them recently to Dells with Windows XP, but some old ones are still around- in one classroom because they have special privleges set on them for the programming classes, and in another classroom and in the newspaper's office because the version of Adobe PageMaker the paper uses isn't compatible with XP, and since it's so expensive, they won't upgrade it. so the computers I use most often are PCs, but i absolutely hate them.

</rambling>

PC, no doubt about it ;) .

Definitely PC.. I have never tried using Mac though..

Ive never actually even seen a mac, nevermind used one lol

lol nor have I :P

My XP just crashed again so I am going to try linux soon

I choos both

for the looks and if i had the money a imac in dark blue.

for the easy self building people like me a pc.

these are currently my specs,still working on the watercooling(have already a heatercore and some hoses from a volvo s60)

asus p4p800-vm motherboard with corsair xms 3200ll pc3200 512mb memory
p4 2.6ht processor with standard cooler element
asus ati radion 9600se (thought it was 128 bit but is 64...grrr)
a-open hq48 pro case which is already hacked too pieces
300 watt antec true whatever psu(already modded)
western digital special edition 40 gb harddrive,soon to have a different one because it is slow...

I got a 1890 score at 3d mark 2003 which is due to the videocard....grrr

pc is overclocked at a stable 3.3
videocard is overclocked at 351/410....NOT STABLE

up until last week i would of said pc is the way to go. but after fooling around with Mac OS X i loved it so much i got one. its an pretty awesome operating system

I hate macs... I agree... they are evil! *hiss* well that is my opinion... PC's all the way...lol

well... MACs are pretty... oh... all the colors...lol

i would defenitally go for the PC ! might not be the most beautiful computer to watch at, but its more worth it (in my eyes) then a mac

wework with macs at school, i just find them evil. Everything is on the other side, programs don't close if you 'close' them but you have to close them again in the top grrr it's annoying! but i have to deal with it, since i might be going into that bussiness..

but i have to admit, the imac laptop (ibook i believe) in white is beautiful! too look at then ;)

Love,
Mirna

I've seen some nice looking PCs out now. My grandpa got himself a new one. It looks "high tech" (if that's what you want to call it). You can see though it and it has a bunch of lights in it... I think, lol. I've only seen it once.... long ago.

macs hate me. everytime i try one, it crashes :(

lol, macs are scared of me. :lol: I got ^^^^ed at a mac so I grabbed the moniter/cpu and told it to load in a loud voice, with some cussing words.

After I did that it loaded quickly and for the whole time I was on it, it loaded. Now, PC's... their not scared of me...

Man peter that is one mean machine your building there what are you planning to do with it? Hack into the FBI? (I know that is one mean machine because I'm a 12 year old with the knowledge of a computer nerd.

I'm the thread starter! I prefer PC's. Nice and simple, compatible with a majority of things, crash less often, less bulky thier just completely better.
I've used Mac's before they are horendus! Just so in compatible, complicated, crashy, big sqaure chunky. If I had to use one I know how but I prefer macs any day. I think reason why Pro software is normally used on macs because the software companies are bribed by Macintosh to make thier software Mac compatible only to boost mac sales. Linux is not bad I'll prefer it to a mac. There's to versions of linux "open source" and the other kind. Open source linux is more for nerds becase with that you can edit the OS code and make it perform the way you want. In first place I would put PC, second Linux and third mac.

Linux is always open source. "Linux" refers to the kernel only, which is open source. it's other software that often comes bundled with the kernel that may or may not be open source, but most software that runs on Linux is.

Wizz, you've been banned because of age...

ditto here.

i have heard Mac is the way to go if you are heavy into graphics or video,
pc is the way to go for everything else.

Interesting.. maybe I'll look into that.. I always have loads of graphics on my computer and they always come out pixelized and distorted. Might be because of my PC.

YES..I think macs turn into "be evil to Sophie mode" when ever I use them

wow that's pretty ! i know nowdays the pc's turn out more beautiful each time, better then those plain grey ones :buckt: but what you describe looks beautiful to me too yeah :)

I got into a heavy arguement with someone not too long ago concerning Macs and PCs. I've honestly experimented with both over the last ten years and Windows is definately the way to go. At least it works for me best, anyway. :D But, you have to give Steve Jobs some credit, even if he was a baddy working for Atari...

some PC's are becoming cool... alot different than the dull white one I have... it is so weird... we have a black monotor and a black key board but our monotor in white... it looks very bad if I might say so myself :|

I worst argument I have had is over is Windows 96 existed. The person I was arguing with has always been anoying and refused to believe that their was windows 95 and 98 but no 96 or 97.

Drove me nuts. I finaly just gave up.

I hate it when people think they are so right but they are really wrong... my sister and I are always getting into fights... one time it even came to us chunking combs at each other ducking behind our beds from protection... it was like WW3


I love the flat screen computers... the picture is always so good on them. My mother has one at her work place

Sounds violent..I don't think I'd have liked to be there!

Macs are nice for serious graphics design, but I prefer my PC for my mediocre stuff.

yeah... lol... I do not think any one would like to be there when we get into our comb throwing frenzies

I guess both Macs and PC's have certain thing that are good about them for certain purposes... my PC can be pretty evil also

I agree with you 100%. It really just depends on what the purpose is.

i changed my avatar! yay... I know it is off subject just thought you might want to know :)

It's really nice :)

I've used mac all my life... we have a mac in the house that's 18 years old... it still works. I prefer mac, or I'd have complained to my parents about it, heh. Windows seems so... cold, I don't know. It's ugly! xp seems to look smoother, though I haven't tried it... I can't believe some of you have never seen or used macs, though.... All the schools I've gone to have had their education deals with apple, I guess, so we use macs there. Of course, some are pretty old. I like how macs are pretty.... I like the interface, cause I'm used to it. The things you guys said annoy you annoy me oppositely when I'm on windows... I hate that darned right click button! (though, our mouse broke, so I'm using one that has that button, heh). If you want to see my mac, here's a pic compy (http://www.xanthians.com/ducky/compy.jpg) (I hope that isn't advertising).

*drools* that is a sweet computer...

NOTE: this thread was bumped up some how and I do not know why... but since people or posting on it might as well respond :lol:

PC's all the way! :D

I've never used a mac but PC's are awesome. Most of what I'm about to say has probably been said, but I'm to lazy to read back. :P They are the most widely supported. You can customize them to whatever you want. They're just awesome. :D I wanna fix up an old computer sometime soon and install linux on it. Just for the heck of it. :P

PC! Since i never had Mac..hehe

Whoaaa nice, Duckgirl. Mine's new, but it's just black and stuff (it's a PC). Your's nice and shiny!
I have never tried a Mac, so I'll have to stick with what I know and say PC.

really nice computer :)

i would love to have a iBook pink one haha, but i have no idea why though... :confused: Because i really HATE iMacs.. they are evil to me, and because of that i'm evil to them too :P

Still we need to use them on school, and probably one plus is that macs are always free in our study room at school because most people stick to pc :P I just don't get it why everything needs to be slightly different, like closing a browser is on the left, while in IE on the right (macs at my school use opera, evil!). It took me a while to figure that out though, and i often resized my browser when all i wanted was closing it :lol:

Love,
Mirna

I choose PC, only because i'm really used to it and the last time i saw a mac i couldn't figure out how to use it...

I have a PC. I tried using a mac...a while ago...in a summer camp...yuck...

i've never had a mac, but i want one! they're a lot more appealing than PCs :D. too expensive though... and i'm just too used to PCs to try something new at this point.

Personally if I was forced to use a Mac, I would use emac. I can't stand imacs, but emacs I can tolerate.

I have a PC...I'm not very fond of Mac's...I don't quite like them either, though they are colourful and that's nice :D

I have a PC too. I've never tried a Mac, so I don't know what they're like, but I'd like to try it. Of course I probably would have an impossible time with it at first :P.

I have a PC, and I wouldn't go with Mac because I haven't used one in a long time...

i chose pc and mac because i use a mac but am trying at the moment to install linux

I like PCs but I always wanted a mac for home. I want 2 try sometin diffrint

Macs are evil very evil :grouch: lol

What is the difference between
PC
Mac
Linux
I don't understand.....
I guess I would choose PC cause I have one and I guess it works better......?

I've always had PC

Ive countinuisly gone back and forth about which one i like more (although ive had a pc my whole life!) I originally hated apples, becasue of their OS, but know im starting to think there new OS is better then windows! :rolleyes:

I've used both...I LOVE PCS!

I've always had a Pc!

Which do you prefer PC or Mac?
pc because more people have it, so then it's easier to get help if your computer breaks down.

i have a PC but will soon be buying my new Mac G5... omg that thing is bad-@$$.

if you do a lot with graphics go Mac. otherwise you're better off with a PC.

PDAs are quite cool!

But WINDOWS does it 4 me!

I prefer PC's, however I have used a G5 and I love them, because in my humble opinion they work more like PC's.

I have a PC, but I LOVE MACS.

i have a pc, although i want to get a mac for my 3ds max/photoshop needs.Macs are waqy better at that kind of thing.
