well......since Rupert and Verdi said something....I guess I can chime in. As you are all aware, I am a PC guy, edit, work, etc on a PC. Now I have, in the past expressed my frustration with certain aspects of windows, however, as an everyday work PC and editing PC, it's worked most of the time. Now, I don't want to hear that nothing ever goes wrong with a Mac, because we all know that's not true, it's a machine with moving parts, things break....
I have looked at a Mac a few times, but the cost is prohibative. Cause it's not just about the hardware, everything I have as far as ecosystem is related to a PC, and yes I can run boot camp or I can run programs virtually but I still hear of problems with that at times. And then I still have to buy a full version of the MS OS, which further adds to the cost.... I am not anti Mac, but for me and my budget, I am still better off with a PC, even adding in the cost of virus software. I have learned that it's not really about who is better, it's just about what you like and what you are used to....and what works for you as a person...for me a PC works, even when it's a tad frustrating....In fact I am getting ready to get a new computer when I move into the new house....not sure which yet, but it's just time for a new one, maybe a blu-ray player as well :-) Now if I was good looking, maybe I could get MS to pony up some money and be featured on one of those, "I'm a PC" commercials....
