Hmm... used both for years. Macs or PCs... Macs or PCs...
I like PCs more, because you can take them a part to replace parts, troubleshoot the OS if it crashes, there is always a reasonably cheap workaround for everything. It's kind've like having an old car where you know what's going on under the hood. Whereas Macs are more and more trying to emulate appliances in the respect that you turn them on, they work, but the problem is when they don't work or start acting up. What do you do, start turning on and off extensions hoping for the best? You can never really get behind the curtain on a Mac like you can on a PC.
I just feel like I've got more control over my frankenstein self-built boxes because I know every component that went into it.
I just wish that Microsoft and Apple would allow them to be networked together properly without buying an PCMacLan or something like that. With XP they've dumped the appletalk protocol, thankfully i've got a win2k pro machine which still has it.
