I like Macs cause they look so damn cool (at least, I like the tower cases, I could care less about the iMacs), they even (at least USED TO) have the motherboard on the fold on side panel, which is extra cool for upgrading.
sure they don't run games all that fast, I don't care, I barely run any games, cause I can't play online anyway due to my crappy 56k connection. I guess that's evidenced by the fact that i have a Duron @ 866mhz (won't hit anything higher for some reason) with a Radeon.. my RAM is now typical, even though I have the cash to go out and buy another 256 megs of DDR333 + motherboard.
it does what I need. Run Mozilla, so I can surf the net (mostly AT forums), and has office. and this is a PC! I'm going to stick with a PC only becuase of the motherboard options and the pricing argument.. that and even though I haven't used MAC OS all that much, it seems to me like it is designed without customizability in mind (though I don't know) becuase again, it has the tendency to be considered easier for newbies to understand how to get around. I'm probably wrong with that though, as I know MAC OS X (is it supposed to be 10 or X?) is built on Linux, which is a major plus to me, becuase I would love to know more about the command line (or at least have more experience with it, cause I know it can do alot of stuff).
so, I'm poor, and that's my real reason! I'd have to stick to waiting for money to accumulate, while I could still relatively keep up with the PC world by upgrading piece by piece. I guess PCs are for people who must spend their money now, and can't let it sit! hehe.
