I checked both stores, cause they are both "good" ones, but newegg was always cheaper for what I wanted, Also, hen I ordered my case it said it would be a week or so to get here, got here in 2 days.

I'm currently taking part in a business-insight thing with school (took one subjects exam early so I have a year to kill) and today there was this crazy guy who does training for Mac products and was just blabbering on about how Macs are wonderful, sure being based on Unix allows them to claim that they DON'T have ANY virii but they do however have some security leaks and trojans/maelware, they also don't offer enough customization, what you buy is what you have to keep, and you can't build your own - kinda like consoles... Sure you can add RAM or a GPU (both of which are extortionately priced) but it ain't the same as building your own system.
Soo... There's a few of my arguments, obviously in favour of the Windows based PC - I don't have anything against Linux either, I just prefer Windows as an OS, despite it's insecurities.
Hey, DOS is cool too.

- Interests:Well I'm obviously at least partially insane, although this is only really reflected on the internet; I frequent MSN, occasionally lurk myspace, and rarely post continuously on any forum nowerdays. Only console owned is a trusty PS2 (my DS met Mr.Accidental Knee to the Screen), and my PC is in a serious need of an upgrade, yet cash is never permitting. I go through periods of getting out a lot, and then staying in for ages, and I'm at college (not university, the ENGLISH version of college) studying Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Medieval History. I used play the violin (stopped recently), and once learned the Keyboard (terrible at it) - always wanted to learn guitar but never got round to it. I'm very open minded (generally), especially about music, although I still maintain that my favourite band is MUSE (WWW.MUSE.MU).<br /><br />Crappy essay over!

It's like how our grandparents screwed around with cars.

Windows definately. I HATE Macs. I've owned a Mac laptop for 2 and a half years and it has had mother boards and hard drives repleced 12 times. And im not the only one who has trouble with macs. Our school is a mac school and things hardly work. I find them very unreliable

I'm going to go with windows just for compatibility issues. If I wanted to spend a mint just to run windows faster, I'd buy a mac. If I wanted to use something more difficult that doesn't run jack, I'd run a *nix system. As for DOS, I love it, I still have it, not installed, but I still have it.

The answer is no. DOS doesn't allow for multitasking, even in the early windows versions that ran in dos. Linux is a great OS, but just like every OS, the more popular it becomes, the more security holes will be found (and therefore virii). I love how Mac is pushing the "more secure" angle, heaven forbid it be because it's not a popular choice for homeowners due to its extravagant price. (not to mention lack of upgradability, hence why the OS runs so perfect on it)

Its just a bit simple.
PCs are better if you wish to either play a game, make 3D art of any kind or to do what you like with.
Macs are the machine of ART. Any design company will use a MAC. Most recording studios will use macs. They handle artistic stuff better then PC's but they just cant handle 3D graphics as well.
Overal, it depends what you use it for!
