pc or mac

[50cent1228]

which one do u guys think is better for college use...

 

[KoolDrew]

PC

 

[thirdlegstump]

Macs because I'm no peeceeweenie

 

[mpitts]

I use both. There's no reason to pigeon-hole yourself.

Knowing Apple and OS X has helped me land some very nice clients that I would have otherwise not been qualified to support.

 

[ultimatebob]

Missing the obvious option for Both, aren't you?

 

[50cent1228]

i edited the poll for the both option

A Mac is a PC!!!

 

[Brainonska511]

I use a PC for my college use, you could go with either though; I see plenty of people with Macs and PCs here.

 

[50cent1228]

ok do you guys ever have any compatibilty issues with any programs or stuuf that the college might give u

 

[Kirby]

Both are quite capable of downloading and viewing sw33t pR0n. So I think you'll be good with either option.

Yeah, they really are now. They all have Intel x86 processors, Intel chipsets, an OS that's based off of FreeBSD, and they can even run Windows.

Actually, i have noticed a disturbing trend that universities are moving toward mac exclusivity. In fact, the harvard computing website has ONLY macs and U Texas forces certain disciplines to mac only. My guess is that mac is spending a sh!t load of money on this despicable practice.

 

[50cent1228]

ok thnx again for the info

 

[Paulson]

I use both on a daily basis...

PowerPC before that.
I know... PC in PowerPC means something different, but is still PC.

edit: clarification

let's keep this civil people... even i'm not going to say anything

 

[randomlinh]

use whatever you want. try em out. focus less on the computer and more on the women

 

[Alone]

I use a PC because I built it myself. A Mac is good for editing things, which I don't do, thus, I don't see it.

Ok, let's not get crazy, this is ATOT we're talking about here.

i love my iMac.. but that is not a legit reason. There really isn't any reason to pick either platform unless you use software specific to that platform. Well, asthetics is another reason (which is heavily on what apple 'sells').

you know what, you're right. It was wishful thinking.

 

[GhettoFob]

I swing both ways.

 

[Kreon]

mmmm....

I like macs, they taste good
Especially in Apple Pie, none of this Cortland Apple crap

 

[keeleysam]

I have (and use) both.

I'm on my 12" PowerBook G4 right now, which is my favorite computer ever. It is the PERFECT size.

Also on the Mac side, I own a Black Core 2 Duo MacBook, which does not have all my stuff on it yet, I'll most likely do that when I catch up on sleep.

All of my personal desktops are PCs, just because I love overclocking and the whole thing behind that.

In my opinion, Apple makes the best notebooks, while a self-built Windows PC is usually the best on the desktop. Mac Pros are nice, but I don't do video rendering or anything to justify it.

 

[StevenYoo]

i use a PC at home

I use a sweet dual-G5 at my workstation in my lab.

I love both. But I do prefer Windows over MacOS.
