How can you say a pc is better than a Mac?

Tuesday, July 6, 2004 by maczombie | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

I have owned a mac for 2 years now and have been through the change over from OS 9 to OS X Jaguar. I am just so tired of people saying a PC is better and more functional than a Mac. I use a PC at work and I hate it. So buggy that I have to restart every hour on the hour sometimes more often. The only thing I have to say about the Tiger coming and "copying" a Mac is more rock solid and user freindlly than a PC will ever be. and who ever wants to argue that point with [email protected] comments are welcome....

I'm still plucking up the courage to join the Britney thread and point out Madonna is much better than Britney Spears will ever hope to be

Where are these "PCs are better than Macs" posts you're referring to? I haven't seen them.

The "best" computer is what works best for you. It's entirely subjective. I personally don't like Macs as much a PCs but that's just me. I wouldn't ever argue that one is objectively better than the other overall.

I will say that Mac users tend to take their piece of plastic more seriously than most PC users take their piece of plastic, "MacZombie".

Pc and Mac are the same thing now. The companies are different, but the machines and their OS'es are extremely similar. Thay all borrow from each other and in the end they converge.
After all, the Mac computer now have an IBM processor and an NVidia video card, and OSX is based on Unix (PC). OS and machine wars are so pointless now. Which foot is the best, the left or the right foot?

OSX is based on Unix (PC).

Where did that come from? Yes, OSX does have UNIX under the hood so to speak, but UNIX is about as far from a Microsoft OS as you can get. I assume by (PC), you are referring to the Microsoft OS.

Its your choice.
PC Light side
MAC dark side
what path will you take?

By the way you can install Linux on a pc not just windows.
Referring to windows as a pc is illogical.

Instead of PC it should perhaps read x86? Though some Unix and Linux distributions run on both x86 and PowerPC.

No, by PC I am talking about the machine. Not about any OS. PC != Windows. A PC is basically a non-Mac machine, formerly known in full form as "IBM PC" and refering to any personnaly computer except the Macs.

All I can say to which one is better: We have a pc and a mac in the family, I prefer the pc and my wife prefers the mac - no reason to fight over it.

So mac uses about 50% pc technology.
Therefore to be a true mac user you must remove your new cpu, remove your video card, I think ram also.
Mac is pretty useless then.

lmao Pixel Cargo.......which path??? lolololol

"Luke......I am your father"

"NO!!!!!"

I've never driven a mac but my daughter has......I think from my ignorant point of view (on a plethora of subjects)

that it all boils down to (1) Personal preference (2) The right tool for the job (3) Whatever floats yer goat (closely related to #(1) but differndt.
