Where is it being displayed (and if you point to my post, protip: read the last sentence)?

In any event, use what you think works best for you but don't be afraid to try things. Saying 'lol mac' is about as mature as saying 'lol 360, PS3 4 lyfe!11'. Console wars are stupid, OS platform wars are stupid, but both help to drive innovation (or really just help the best ideas get stolen and used by everyone). Just don't be too stupid to ignore the other side; give them a fair try once and a while.

I'll get a MacBook Pro once I get out of the military for my video-editing and production needs, but I still prefer PC for gaming.

This. Macs are great machines. Some people that are so used to Windows just say that because that's all they know and are extremely reluctant to change. I used to be one of the 'lol mac' guys, then I grew the fuck up. There's flaws in both, stfu.

Can you smell the arrogance in the room?

I own multiple of both! A Lenovo Thinkpad, MacBook Pro, iMac and a custom built PC are all within my arsenal.

I primarily game on my custom-built (the wife tends to use the Thinkpad to play with me). The MacBook Pro and iMac are my work computers -- I'm a programmer and trying to do my work on a PC is unreasonable.

Seriously, I limit the use of my PCs strictly to gaming. Nothing else works like it should on any Windows OS. Make the wrong turn, click the wrong button and you've lost a DLL, screwed up your registry or have a trojan.

Working on a unix-based system makes my code compilation times fractions of what they would be compiling on Windows. Not to mention, if I really needed Windows for anything specific I could easily dual-boot any of my machines with a VM since my Macs are Intel-based.

--

The people who hate Macs have never had a need for one, it's that simple. The people who hate Windows are too prideful and won't give up defending Apple.

Sure, I have an iPhone -- but that's because I don't want to hassle with my phone, overclock it or install a custom ROM. Doesn't stop me from owning an Android tablet though, does it?

This thread has turned bad -- even for the Flame Bucket. Cry

5 days is old? Sad

If that's the case, then my first wife was a pterodactyl.

This is the lightest discussion concerning mac v. pc this forum has had. This was almost good natured.

5 days can be considered a necro. And your wifes' aging has nothing to do with the aging of threads.
