Well I agree, the MAC lacks something that sets the PC's apart. LOTS of
BLUE SCREENS!

I agree Mike, there is no "one is better than the other" here.
They both have their pluses and minuses. They only difference between
a MAC and a PC are the operating systems. The ideal thing would be to
buy a PC, wipe the hard drive, and install the latest MAC OS if you
think that's better. The problem is, Apple won't allow you to do that
because if they did, no one would buy a MAC. It's a lot cheaper to
buy a PC than it is to buy a MAC. I mean, look at the laptops....you
can't buy a MAC laptop for under $1000, but you can buy a PC for $400.
If you could put the MAC OS on this laptop, you'd have a MAC laptop
for $400, and save $600.
I don't care for MACs....that's just a personal preference and is
in no way meant to put down a MAC. Over the years, I have downloaded
hundreds of small programs that I use on my PC. I have found that a
lot (not all) of these programs are not designed for the MAC. It
seems that there is a lot more software designed for the PC than there
is for the MAC. The thing is, do you need this software? Maybe not,
so if you had a MAC, it wouldn't affect you. I will add that there is
software designed just for the MAC,
It's just that I don't want to be limited in any software that I
might want, so I stick with a PC. There is just more software.
As far as the PC vs MAC wars go, there is no winner, so why argue
over which is better? If it does what you need it to do, then you
have the right computer for you.

Agreed, besides, neither of those can hold a candle to the Amiga's Deluxe Paint
and its animated brushes!
