Quote - Tom if everybody went to Macs they would have just as many viruses. Windows is targeted because it is dominate. I have used many PC's for a long time and have no virus issues. You just need to setup a system properly. The HW is really no different. And Mac's have plenty of sw upgrades, incompatibilities, lack of docs, specs, support etc... On a "PC" you can have linux or whatever, don't have to have MS.There unfortunately is SW that people use that is windows only tho.

Oh in most cases you're right!!  not going to get into the big wintel/mac war .. just pisses me off when a larger company in any graphics field doesn't see the benefit of mac over PC  OK, less sales, but 80% fewer service calls...one of the highest costs to any software company!!  less sales but more profit per sale.... 

I work on both.. and yes macs have issues like any high tech item... but things happen much less and  are much easier to fix for the average user on a mac... I hear all the time about people who have no issues on PCs.... the catch here... 99% of them are techy people... not the average everyday person who wants to get work done WITH a computer, not have to work ON the computer.

OK cost.. well after you pay for all your Adware, Spyware, virus protection... bla bla bla.. your cost is over that of a mac in less than 2 yrs ( you keep paying for your virus... every yr)

OK then speed tests... take the basic mac against the same setup PC... if you use it normally ( not closed off to the world in it's own little hole in the wallwithout any internet) the Mac will smoke it... not because it really is any faster but because it doesn't have 100 extra things happening in the background....

believe me... I deal with both systems... fixing them for people everyday... i get almost no calls from people after they get a mac... once in awhile i get a "wow.. how can I do that?" but not many..." AHHHH my computer keeps crashing"

OK... I'm done venting... was just more pissed that another company thinks Macs are a waste... reason I got carrara in the first place...
