| 291259 | 2004-11-13 10:11:00 | ?:| Very interested to hear your views on Mac vs PC......iMac, eMac etc. I am lead to believe that the games and software available these days is more available for PC - is this the case??? Anyone out there with an iMac G4 / G5 or eMac G4 / G5 happy to give feedback on these machine's performance? They look different - but which is the preferred one iMac or eMac? Look forward to your views :-) |

In many ways the Os is superior to Windows and the hardware is generally more stable - simply because Apple are able to control the market. Unless you have a specific need for a Mac you'd be best to go for a PC. I've owned a couple of Macs but gave in to PCs becuse of the coice aspect. | POTUS (5276) | ||

| 291262 | 2004-11-13 10:31:00 | Both platforms have matured to the point were they are stable,have excellent interfaces and can serve up more grunt then most people can get close to using. Apples are more expensive but those that use them tend to swear by them,something has to install such platform loyalty.The software choice is far more limited,but at a mature level of development. The main issue that i come across is suport,The situation i would presume is different in major centres but the mac users i know are often left high and dry..... I wouldn't mind one. |

| 291264 | 2004-11-13 12:10:00 | There is the Economic quality choice, PC runnig linux. Some MAC may have the edge over the above in certain graphic applications. Mac wiil cost more. Take either over Crashdoze. D. |

| 291267 | 2004-11-13 19:25:00 | I own a PC with XP & a G4 eMac with OSX 3.6 Panther. Had I waited for a while I would have bought the new G5 iMac. :-) The Mac was bought because I was sick to death of Viruses, Adware & Spyware. What with constantly updating & running the virus checker and critical patches to download on dail-up the XP is a pain. The Mac with Panther is user friendly, no real viruses, adware or spyware. There's plenty of software included and heaps more available both free & shareware ~ it just plain works and is pretty to look at too. Yes a one button, optical mouse is supplied but everyone has a favourlte rodent & most work with Mac. I have owned Windows from 95 to XP. No more, It will be Mac for me from now on. If you are into gameing keep your Windows box, for Graphics, Music and Work try a Mac. Tis a big world, room for all :-) |
