[QUOTE="lzasitko, post: 16549"] [b]mac vs pc[/b] Don't want to get into a flame war over which is best but I own both pc's and macs. Outside of not going out of date as fast and retaining value I have found that macs do not have some of the memory problems that pc's seem to have. I have an iMac and an Ibook and basically they are on all the time and very seldom do I have to reboot. The iMac has been on and running for several months and never a problem. The PC's that I have and use (a Toshiba Portable with win 98se and two desktops, a Athalon 1800 with win XP Pro and a celeraon 633 with win ME). The portable with win 98se is the most stable of the bunch, my Athalon with XP is a out and out memory hog and does not realease it properly which means that I reboot the stupid thing 2 or 3 times a day, ME seems to be better then XP in memory management and sometimes it will go all day before I have a crash or have to reboot :-) The only reason I have the PC's is in my business I use Autocad and Lightscape rendering, if the programers would get smart and make versions of these for the Mac OSX then I would not need the PC's True plug and play on the Macs is great, just plug it in and go, not near the hassles as in Windoze.... All in all I have a lot fewer problems with macs. Larry Zasitko [/QUOTE]
