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.

Mac's are not expensive, can you please stop saying this! Right then, you can buy a MAXX PC for a crap load, or buy a G4 Cube for a crap less! And the Cube is better!

Heh, I'm enjoying using them for video editing at the moment, but they're too expensive to justify me getting one for myself. I made up the stuff in the last post, but it's something like that..could be true, sounds reasonably convincing..

It's never 100% reliable (whatever you may claim), same principle as WINE (Wine Is Not an Emulator) for Linux..

The PC does has just as many editing apps available, true, but Mac specialise in it - the Mac version do have extra features, or work more efficiently than their PC counterparts due to the architecture.

Going back to what Joby said, tehre is a programme that allows you to run anything that runs in 'Doze on your Mac. So basically, the Mac can have anything the PC does, you just need that programme.
