Yes, they are both right. Both can use one system successfully for years. I'd bet both can make the opposing system work well for them for years as well. It's largely preference, culture and comfort.
I was comfortable on my custom built PC video workstation but was open to macs as I used them in school. I like both and dislike both. My only point was that one is more hyped and stylish and cool and usually more expensive than the other. And the security difference is only based on mass of adoption of one over the other, not some superior tech... just a nice convenience for marketing. speaking of marketing, i think apple has been insulting to people who dont use macs in their user portrayals. Hence the 'cool people use macs' spin. microsoft is finally starting to do a good job countering that in their commercials and doing it in a seemingly less biased manner. and yes i am sour after spending so much money on my macbookpro... that my power adapter burned itself out, my battery stopped charging, my replacement battery exploded, i am constantly electrically shocked, my blood circulation is cutoff due to hard edges near my wrists, i've seen the frozen rainbow of death many times, apple software is often unintuitive-buggy-bloated, i have keys sticking and squeaking, and a blown speaker and most osx features/software i end up not needing/using. christ, i even had to buy quicktime pro which should be included for free by now. no, apple macs are not perfect. mine demonstrates that well. i've had better luck with an assortment of PCs. and i'm looking forward to testing windows7 and/or some linux flavors again. All these latest Operating Systems are pretty slick so apple no long has a big edge. and since apple hardware is really nothing special from china.... i'm happy to look elsewhere once the time is right or this thing just out-right dies on me. sull On Sun, Apr 19, 2009 at 12:39 PM, Milt Lee <[email protected]> wrote: > > > "Heath" <heathpa...@...> wrote: > > > what can I say, it works for me, Sony Vegas and Windows, for me a match > made in heaven lol....And I gave up on the Bengals a while ago... > > Heath is right.
