Ive always been a PC user but I have heard people say like in this thread that MAC is more stable very rare system crashes. I have windows XP and I find its a very relaible OS. Some would argue that windows 98 second edition is better. I had the original '98 edition before XP.
Well i bought it from http://www.apple.com/ca/ there site for $1750ca.Is only about 2 months old and its in great condition.I guess best offer, but at least $1000ca.
Mac vs pc: For me the difference is not at all technical. Mac computers seem to illicit an emotional response from the user/owner. Simply put-a Mac owner loves his/her computer. This is why there is a perception of a Mac Cult. Pcs get the job done, Macs get the job done artfully.
I also think this is why we have less virus problem. Microsoft is perceived as "the big global corporation" and is thus a target for every bored, disgruntled hacker out there. People seem to love to think up new ways to screw the system and Microsoft is seen as being "the system".
