Saw this about a year ago, before those people did the whole red vs. blue thing they made this apple spoof. Still, pretty damn funny ::::02::

i dont have any experience with macs outside of basic tasks at school, but as far as i know macs arent good if you want a large game library, although ive been seeing some games with "mac and pc compatible" printed on the box, so im not sure if thats just a default thing or not.

just to clarify the PC vs Macs thing.

The best thing Macs are for is multimedia development (i.e graphics, video, etc.)

As for applications, games, etc..PC is the best.

I've heard that, and for a whille I've supported it too. Recently, however, I've been using a Mac for Illustrator and Photoshop and the like, and realized that I didn't really know why they're better than PC's. Same goes for applications for PC's. (games is a given). Whenever I've asked someone the only answer I get is that Macs are more artsy in themselves, which says to me that they're better because they look cooler, which I just don't buy. So, could anyone here clarify why the Mac is better than the PC for multimedia?

check this link http://www.macobserver.com/article/2001/08/28.6.shtml

pay attention to this line

After this story, Brett Larson, the Mac guru who has long been a part of Macworld Magazine's family, and a PC person whose name we didn't catch, ran some benchmarks for a 2 GHz P4 and an 867 MHz G4. Those tests showed that some Photoshop tests as being about 20-30% faster on the G4. Their tests also showed an RGB to CMYK conversion with the G4 stomping the P4.

Basically its because Macs handle graphic files better. And just to note I am not a mac person.

You might notice that i have takin out of my signature "!MACS SUCK!" because well...i have grown accustom to them. Ever since OS X, I do not mind them and see their superioty in some areas of technology and computing (of course not gaming or servers....). I like Macs and PC's with equally.

you guys have em in your school right?

The Macs are far far overpriced for what they do(almost 5000 dollars). Anyway, that benchmark you ran was with a P4 2ghz(way outdated) vs a G4, Amd64 perform far better. With that kind of money, I could build a far superior Amd64 Fx-53 computer.

for php programming and web deveolpment.. aspecial with photoshop i hate macs... the one button pisses me off.

as for windows, they tend to have more features for windows... and I grew up with my dad giving me an apple(the fruit) and saying "this is a good apple, macitoshs are bad apples, crappy computers"

edit: added the (fruit) comment so some people dont get lost in my deeply odd childhood
