Wy is it that Mac owners spend so much time trying to convinve others macs are so great? Really?
I've worked on both- due to personal preferances, i'll stick with the PC- its a smarter choice no matter how you slice it. The thing is though, i never bother any mac user about their choice. Yet every mac owner i know spends an amazing amount of time telling me how great their life is and how i'm "missing out".
What is up with that?
As for why i would choose a PC over a mac anyday, lets take a look at my application- recording.
If i have a budget of $10,000 for a studio. I can blow my money on a less powerful mac, and have much less left over for much more important purchases- monitors, mics, instruments, software, etc.
I cant tell you how many times a firend on a budget buys a mac and shortchanges himself by buying cheeper equipment that will never sound as good to stay within budget. And what is the end result? Can you tell, listening to a CD what computer it was recorded on? Of course not, but they are mac fanatics, and so pay more, for less power and suffer the consequences. But, oh yeah, it looks really nice.
What dorks.
