Default Re: Mac vs. PC?

I have both Mac and PC in the house. I have sort of equal abilities in both.

They're not a lot different anymore, the PC world, when they went from DOS to Windows, basically brought the PC world into a Macintosh-like environment (icon-based, drag and drop interface).

The PC couldn't 'copy' the environment, but could mimic it enough to get past intellectual property issues, out of the DOS era, and into a more friendly user interface.

I still don't consider the PC interface as friendly. Helping my family members on their PC's I find myself thinking, "If it were a Mac, I'd just go blip, bleep, done."

I only do a few specific things on the computer, web surfing/forums where PC and Mac are about identical, but then there are the images, video, music and wireless. These areas the Mac is so much a better friend.

Macs, as yet, do not get viruses, or at least haven't as far as I know. Free downloadable software updates. Great spam filter also.

Macs now have intel processors. I don't know what that means, really.

Macbook Pro, mmmmmm
