Mac or PC

Working in IT, I'm interested in what people prefer to use. Yes, I am a geek and it doesn't need repeating.

Personally, I have always been a PC man and a Windows user (although now I'm more of a Linux man). Discuss here which you prefer and why.

NB. No flames please and if you believe one is better than the other please say why.

I like Linux because I'm a tinkerer and I love the freedom it gives me. Also I find it more secure and stable and I like learning new things, which is what every day is like as a Linux user.

 

I like the typewriter

 

Good man, there's a lot to be said for the good old fashioned typewriter.

 

But what did people do when they couldnt backspace and delete a word?

Would they have to throw the paper away and start again

 

i'll be an IT geek in a few years

Anyway I prefer using a pc to a mac, Linux isn't bad iv'e fiddled with that operating system a few times but don't really like it much

 

I suppose that's probably when tipex was invented

 

Personally, I don't really care if it's UNIX, but everyone knows Windows ...keeps me on my toes

 

Coloured paper would prove a problem

 

You can get different colours of tipex now

 

And if you wrote in crayons it would provide acid flashbacks Lady.

TBH I prefer PC and windows, just seems easier to navigate.

 

I thought this would be more popular than it has been. Are there no techies out there???????????

 

If I had any idea of what you speak, then I'd contribute mate

 

I'm PC, Macs are for ponces with too much money and no musical talent.

And so waterproof!

 

Yes I'm sure they are, Windows is a leaky snot-bucket by comparison.

I believe you may have caught them at a bad time. You know techies ...

Mac all day long....

amazing product and great after care service.........

also they make u a Itunes addict...

 

Had a Windows machine at home, and used to work on a Linux machine. New job gave me a mac laptop, so that's what i'm using now.

Having used them all, Windows is my least favourite. Linux was excellent for my work, but I would be a little worried about having to be my own sysadmin 100% of the time if I had a Linux machine here. The tinkering is nice, but it slows you down a lot...

So now i'm on the mac, which is a very nice machine. Gives me an easy-to-use machine, and i can delve into the Unix side of the OS to do my work. Very expensive - I don't think i would spend my own money on one. But they are super nice!

Really? iTunes is ok, but i still prefer good ol' Winamp!

 

Mac. I don't anyone who owns a mac who'd ever consider going back to PC. Just a much, much better product.

 

Posted these the other day but they sum things up quite well

For a price... I don't think that they are worth the extra to be honest. Don't get me wrong, very slick, easy to use, very nice product as you say. But so expensive. If I was buying a machine with my own money, I would get a top-spec PC and live with windows... (or maybe take the plunge into Linux)
