Esteemed BK, the real question on whether to use a Mac or PC should be based on what you intend to use the computer for. The Mac, and it's structure inside, was designed to be good with graphic programs. It's good for drawing, working with film, music, that sort of stuff. The PC, on the other hand, was designed to be a number cruncher, and is better at math and word processing.
I'm not that great on music or drawing, and der Brucer is even worse than I in those fields, but I love to write, and he is a number cruncher from way back. We're both PC people. But we did own a Mac some time ago, and consider it a fine machine.
