Yeah I know it'd been done before, but now there are a few more Mac users on these forums and a few more potential Mac users, I thought I'd re-start it and get your opinions.

So, are Macs better than PC's? Or vice-versa?

Discuss, argue, shout and scream.

If you have read through the posts in the topic you would have seen that any PC game can be played on any Mac! So therefore any arguments that suggest otherwise are crap!

If you want to play most games, it seems as if PCs are (sadly) the only choice. Since PCs are the majority market (against Macs), most developers will only make games for PC. Therefore, fewer people buy macs, and fewer developers make games! ;-)

See Ya

Also Macintosh are going to pull the iMac of the market as well, some nobs at Microsoft say because sales are falling, but Macintosh still say that the reason is it would be wrong to have two iMac's on the market...

...yeap you heard it, Mac are releasing a flatscreen iMac! A FLATSCREEN iMAC!!!

:D and it will only be the same price as the standard iMacs! Which is extremely cheap.

I am still very happy with my Titanium iBook, which looks, feels and does the business on the lease line!

Ahhh...

Here we go...

'Apple has pulled the plug on its ill-fated and much-criticised G4 Cube computer after the machine failed to meet the company's sales estimates.

The news follows months of speculation about the future of the Cube...

...Apple admitted that demand for the Cube had been three times lower than it predicted, despite a series of price cuts'
