Is it just me or is 'cheapness' winning over 'quality'?
Some examples:
Acorn and Mac's losing out to PC (We're still on DOS!!)
n64/Dreamcast losing out to PS1
Shoddy PS2 drives
Feel free to add your own.

Yeah, GC is thrashing everyone.
When Macs are 3 x the price of a much higher spec PC, you can't justify buying it. That's not 'cheapness', it's more accessibility and sensible pricing. Not to mention most people are more familiar with Windows and its programs.

Mmmmm... iMac.
Anyway, if I won the lottery, I'd buy an iMac nearly straight away.
But since I won't, PC's are fine. Windows is fine (Well, it's alright) and I have all that I need at the moment...

Bit of a misunderstanding, since in almost every way, all major software like PhotoShop works the same on PC and Mac. The Mac even has "sticky" menus now like the PC. The word Exit changes to Quit, but I think most people could cope with that!
iMac 2 with the LCD screen is very cool.

Does Microsoft Office work (not a harsh statement, genuine question)? And the whole different OS is probably a bit of a jump. Still, the ridiculous price is...ridiculous.

Microsoft Office version X works very well. Excel for Mac OS X also on the market.
As for the OS, you open drives and folders in the same way. Mac OS has a generic menu bar at the top of the screen, whereas Windows has one for each open folder. And for "make shortcut", on the Mac it's "make alias".

You are such a geek.
From my experience with iMacs....lets just say ive never really been impressed (not much of a computer buff though so all your fancy specs dont make me j*zz myself). Your paying for the fancy casing, because its 'cool' and modern, while your PC (admitedly) is the ugliest peice of hardware you have ever bought.
aka PS2? caned..
If find it annoying that we have to use a PC. Using the archaic DOS when better systems are put aside. It's all due to companies going for the cheapest standard (and IBM's scare tactics), it's cost them over the years though!
