Oh a Mac Vs. PC Thread, now theres a novalty...

Has it sunk into insidusus insults yet ?? Ahh no, well it doesns't seem to have gotten personal anyway :D

Me=average net wander

I'm a Pc chappie and heres why, because I like building them up for differant jobs.

My games machine, well it has to have windows, tis an Athalon 1800, 1gb ram, 180GB HD nVidia geoforce TI4200, 433 fsb ( hmm sounds close anyway ;p)

Communications security machine thats a PII 640mb, 40gb HD running Free BSD, does my gateway, Firewall, FTP and IRC mainly as well a few other bit s :)

Of the 2 machines the PII is left on... last reboot about 2.5 months ago, the 1800.. switch off every night :p

Point is, be it MAC, pc with windows, FBSD, or whatever... Hmm what do YOU want the machine for ? Does it matter if it's branded or not, propritry or not ? Do you need to be able to convert your files to an office XP format, is the machine to be left switch on etc etc etc

Depends whats important to you, customer service, will it crash more (net statistically ofc ;p)does it have less overheads than windoze...

Personally I'm cheap and I likes to build my own, the obvious market then for me is the cheaper pc market.

If your preferance is a very reliable machine thas got a good warrenty and you never have to go into the machine... you may want to go for Sun ;p

But to the analogies of cars and fine wines..

Like I said me's cheap, the soles of my shoe's are worn out and my eyes are fadeing from all that Meths :p

siggy ;p

Frizbitarianism, The believe that when we die we will float upto the roof and get stuck :/
