  The PC vs. Mac debate rolls on...

  The mac vs. pc debate always generates multitudes of opinions, some calm and logical, others heated and frothing. It will go on. I have to admit that I enjoy working with my macs, have invested a lot of time in utilizing them to the fullest, and draw on a myriad of fav shortcuts in the OS, productivity apps, and pro apps (mostly FinalCutPro). I've used various flavors of Windows through the years and they are okay. I will continue to pay the premium for a mac for the simple reasons that I like working in the OS X environment and enjoy the ease and intuitiveness of the hardware. Case in point: notice when you buy things like wireless routers, hard drives, printers, etc. they come with software on a CD. That software is only for PCs. If you have a mac, you just plug the thing in and it works--no drivers to install, etc. Of course installing drivers isn't hard to do, it's just nice when things truly are plug and play and most of the time we get that with macs. Or this: bluetooth-enabled phone, meet powermac G4. Powermac, auto-detect my phone and put all my contacts on the phone. Done. Nothing to install, upgrade, tinker with. Just works. Can you do that on a PC? I assume you can. If so, enjoy. Nothing to argue about :-)
