I would take my Nikon FM2 over both anyday!



Macs have better hardware than PC's, but if you want the best operating system it has to be some flavour of Unix! (I'm a computer scientist and my word on this matter is gospel!)


I thought that Macs had the same hardware these days?

Macs now use intel processors rather than the old power pc processors, but all the other hardware in a mac is custom built by apple. Although you can use pc hardware in a mac for upgrades!

I prefer to cut my stilton with a mora (Woodie clones are TOO THICK and make the chees crumble!)

Not with Brie mate :dancer:

.....Or Cheddar for that matter, although it tastes better if it's not a clone:

See Skaus, you burned your theory with one word, you need PC stuff to "Upgrade".

You may be starting a war here Goatboy!

Seriously though, PC components do have a higher tendency to fail compared to apple hardware, but PC hardware is generally cheaper. I would never say that macs are better than PC's though, they are just different. Mac users generally think that their computers are completely impervious to security risks, but the fact is they are less prone to exploitation only because the majority of virus writers target Windows as it has the greatest market share at the minute.

I use a variety of hardware, operating systems and software. I consider them as tools, and you need to use the right tool for the right job.
