Mac or pc: tis time we settle this   stance: pc rocks:
PCs are cheaper with more powerful hardware.
Mac's use generic hardware, not specific apple hardware as is often believed.
People also believe that Mac's breakdown or need to be replaced less often than PCs
If you ever work in an environment (as I have) where Macs are networked together and
used as the primary computer, you will see that Macs are just as perceptible to problems as Pcs.
In fact, we bought a number of Pro machines, which had a 100% failure rate in the 3 or so years they were used.
