# I went to the cinema yesterday
the PC/Mac ad was immediately followed by an Intel advert basically stating that you could do everything like a Mac!

I mean who is right? (not that I'll be caring about any nerdy answers posted here)

# they are just boxes full of stuff
that lets you do stuff
but in slightly different ways

it's just marketing

# It is simple
A PC can do everything a MAc can do in just as good a manner. A Mac can't do half the things a PC can do and it doesn't do it at twice the price. Hope that helps.

# have you used a mac?
(I helped save b3ta! mictoboy shitting in your cunt since, Tue 8 May 2007, 16:46, archived)
# yes thank you
I had the misfortune to have to spend some months with a G4.

Edit:// I wish someone would resurrect the idea Commodore had of a RISC based amiga with dedicated chip architecture running whatever OS you threw at it including MAC and Windows at the same time if you want. It would be running at vastly reduced clock speeds yet outperforming anything on the market today.
The technology was there 10 years ago and I'm sure everyone would want one.

# the way i see it
you just need a mac running windows aswell and then you can do everything. or just use windows...i dunno...I personally have no use for a mac no matter how much they pay two of my favorite comedians to whore themselves towards a corporate brand *scourns*

# comedians, windows and scones
Right!

I understand it all now

Its all marketing stuff to make sure that comedians eat scones with good manners through the window.

Off to PC world for me! Do they sell Macs there?

some kind of futuristic hybrid combination of the two would be best, with 3d goggles or something for the internet in 3d. Apple and Microsoft need to get their heads together and sort this out, pronto.
