[QUOTE="Prise, post: 365995, member: 29302"] I couldn't agree with you more. My first ever computer was the old (really betraying my age here) Mac SE with a whopping 16 MB of Ram! I've always found the Mac OS to be infinitely superior to any other versions of icon-based GUI interfaces. Of course, after college once I started working, I had to acclimate to PCs in the corporate world. There was a span of several years where I used exclusively PCs. One, it was the only efficient way to work given everything was PC based. And, games were better on the PC. The one area where PCs shine is for the computer enthusiast. There's a certain exhilaration and adventure when journeying to build a "game" machine with the "best" parts. Choosing the ram, video card, sli or crossfire, state of the art motherboards, and finally over-clocking a machine to run faster than virtually anything else has it's own inherent rewards. To the quintessential "power gamer," there isn't a more rewarding experience than firing up self-put together PC running Doom 3 with all it's graphics options maxed out on 1600 by 1200 @ over 100 fps! Even now, I will always build a PC for games. Actually, it's the only the thing I use them for now. Everything else, I use the Mac. The moment Apple announced they were going to use Intel, I knew my next notebook would be a Macbook Pro running whatever XP applications necessary. In my view, aside from games, the Mac offers a much greater computer user experience. [/QUOTE]
