As it happens I have a mac-mini at home, but I use a PC all day at work. I hardly think the $400 computer I bought is the greatest thing ever, though it doesn't have any of the problems you seem to find with them. I run a non-native (i.e. not made specifically for the Intel processor) version of Photoshop which has never once timed out or crashed on me. I record music in Garage Band that sounds better than what I used to get out of a 4 track tape deck, but then I was pretty happy with Audacity too. The only thing that sometimes crashes is Firefox, which seems to happen most on CNN.com, so I kind of doubt it has anything to do with the OS. I don't like Safari (imagine that I'm not actually a Steve Jobs worshipper either) so I'm willing to suffer with that occasional problem a bit.
I do prefer Macs (at least over Microsoft products, if I had time to learn Linux, I might well do so), but I have actually never heard the Magick Markers and find Adam's constant out of the blue comments about how much they suck very similar to yours about Macs. You seem to want somebody to fight you about this when I think the computer world is developing in a way where the old fight is becoming a moot point. I know some Mac users who are just as fanatical about this as you are, and I find them just as silly, despite the opposing viewpoint.
So you prefer PCs. Great. What brand do you think makes the best hardware? What OS do you think is the most user friendly, which is the most interoperable, and are those achievable in the same system or mutually exclusive? Do you have anything other to say about the subject besides "Macenshit" and "they suck" and "they suck so bad, they're shit"? Saying that type of stuff over and over about anything only weakens your arguments and makes people overlook what you have to offer. You seem to know some interesting tech stuff, maybe you'd like to share that with the class, rather than the same outbursts you've already posted 100 times?
I don't know, I'm probably just being an old man here. I'm sure it's a generational thing. Oops, sorry to get back on topic...
