[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 37330, member: 3850"] " You can just do more things more ways with a PC." I disagree: you COULD do a lot more things with a pc, but they're all difficult to do! If i plug in my camera to my pc i get the files on a drive, my mac imports them to my photo library automatically. A pc COULD do the same, but it takes a bit of searching for the software and a bit of know-how to set up the automation. I plug in an external soundcard for recording. My mac recognises it straight away and i'm recording. My pc loads a hardware installation window and i am required to install drivers and reboot, THEN I'm recording... Lets say i want to manage my address book on my pc, use it for mail contacts AND sync that to my mobile phone..(bluetooth or infrared..) First i need a special driver for the supposedly built-in plug in and play infrared port. Then i need software to transfer data to the phone. Then i need to export my contacts as vcards and then upload them manually to my phone. Tada i'm already done! Oh and your mail prog. probably uses a seperate address book where you have to import your contacts as well (see entourage) Macs do so many things seamlessly, THAT's the advantage! No hunting for drivers, bugfixes and tweaking tools (WITH exceptions!) most of the time, things play nice with each other! My phone likes isync, my address book likes mail and isync, my soundcard and camera like garageband and iphoto respectively.... It lets me work with the computer, not fight it all the time. [/QUOTE]
