I have an iMac. It is like having a beautful girlfriend. I get very excited to see my iMac in the morning.
I have a windows machine too. But it is like taking care of grandma. Not really exciting.

This forum is full of feticists. One wants to eat his Mac, another one sleeps together with it (her?)...

Regarding the Mac vs PC commercials, shouldn't the PC be the cool guy since he can play games and still do everything that a Mac can? The Mac guy ought'a be the one wearing the suit!

- I am glad this thread has generated so many responses. I didn't want it to get so derailed and turn into a flame war. I was just trying to determine what the drive was for the mac users. I get catch phrases like because it's cool, it's sexy, it's the "In" thing. Sure OSX has a cool GUI and some neat features but the hardware is by no means a power house. I've been doing a bit of research and stumbled upon a few "HackPro" or "OSX86" sites. I wish the guys at apple wouldn't make it so difficult to run their OS on the system of our choice. The smart move would be to directly compete against Microsoft and make the OS port to any PC out there with ease. I would love to see OSX on a tri-sli 780i machine. BTW I visited the Apple store, why they call themselves geniuses I have no idea, the freaking piss poor geek squad of best buy seem to have more knowledge. I guess my best bet would be to sit over the shoulder of a very experienced Mac user and watch him work.

Not too sure about hardware as long as it works for me, I am fine (I'm not really a big computer person actually, hehe). Have you seen the new MacPro's and their configurable options, pretty powerful machines. Duo quad core, up to 32gb of RAM etc... It sounds good lol

That is really dependent on what you want from a game really, everyone is different. I am not an avid gamer, I only like a few games such as Halo3 on the xbox. All the games that I like (except strategy) are all on consoles so the console is the obvious choice for me. I think, for me anyway, its the game that dictates my choice of "hardware" rather than the "hardware" itself.
Besides, I can't imagine playing Wii Tennis on a PC lol - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK
