ARR and Mac

[Vanguard319]

Seriously someone tell me what's so great about macs, they are freeBSD with a GUI anyone with half a knowledge of linux can make up, with inferior hardware and a marked up price.

What do you get when buying a mac except an OS that should be free with poor hardware compared to a PC for the price?

Well for starters, if you're a publisher, or graphic designer, knowing how to operate one is almost a requirement, since they are pretty standard in those industries. Apple OS has a reputation for being quite stable as well, though god help you if something does go wrong with it.

I tend to prefer Windows myself, since I've owned enough PCs over the years to know how to fix some of the usual problems and quirks on my own. Some apps made for both platforms can have slightly different functions as well. (i.e. Dreamweaver CS6 works pretty much the same way whether you go PC or Mac, but the PC version can import Word files directly into your web page, rather than copy-pasting like you would with the Mac.)

All in all, it's really more an individual's matter of preference rather than which platform is better.
