Ok so there is me walking down Regent Street. I wander into the Apple Store and boy was I impressed!! I am now considering batting for the other side. What would a Mac mean in my home environment? I see you can get Word and other Microsoft applications on the Mac. Is this a good idea to abandon the PC and swim with the sharks?

Since you can't accept rational arguements about non-existance of God and general bullsh1tness that comes from the Church, it is understandable that you will consider buying Mac.Originally posted by ChicoIs this a good idea to abandon the PC and swim with the sharks?
Maybe your God will allow you run x86 software on it?

I believe some bint was also seduced by the Apple, and look at the price every man has paid since. Go look it up in your bible!Comment

Mac are better than PC's (and also look better unless you invest in designer case's/monitors)
But about 80% of the software is designed for PC exclusivly, 15% eventually get Mac version but much later than the pc
So unless you are heavly into graphic/artistic design i would never recommed a mac to anyoneComment

Chico, wait a little while, there's a mac coming with i86 processor. You'll probably be able to run all the mac and all the pc software on the one box which'll look cool and won't crash...Insanity: repeating the same actions, but expecting different results.

Interesting comment Threaded thanks - that is exactly what my brother said. Something about Macs being powered by Intel chips and ditching IBM chips.Originally posted by threadedChico, wait a little while, there's a mac coming with i86 processor.
