> PCs are like your average, mid-market car. people buy them because they’re cheap and they do everything that they need. the childish people can even slap on a plastic body-kit, flashing neon lights and huge mufflers to customize it to their liking. it gets them from A to B. no fancy stuff, no power-windows or electric seats or trip-computer, just the basic stuff. everyone’s happy. family ppl can have an affordable method of transport, and the boofheads can have their cheaply-modified, cheap-looking ‘street-racing’ cars. but these mid-market cars do tend to break-down, the company makes re-calls, and they get old and need to be replaced after a while.
It just so happens my home PC looks like a street racer! I got a bodykit (case with see through glass window) glowing neons and like 4 fans!!! Heck, it also has a Nissan 350z emblem on it for some reason. Hahahah! Well I just built mines from a barebones system and the funky case came with it. Runs pretty good and fast. My llast PC did last pretty long and is still running good, my sister uses it.

Macromedia and Adobe products work great on both. I use Apple, but I hear they work on windows, too. (I’m against smilies, but a smiley would go here.)
Kirupa said _“I’d rather upgrade my PC/laptop with the latest stuff every few years rather than plunking down a lot for a mac and keeping it for 4 or 5 years.”_ What’s the difference between “every few years” and “4 or 5 years”?
(I mean I’m curious, not fighting)

moral of the story is dont be a puppet. Try it for yourself and do the footwork for yourself. I am the mod who editted the poll. No disrespect to the thread starter but you will never get the answer you seek with this type of subject. I just becomes a pissing contest. I use PC because I’d rather upgrade than buy every few years. I have several PC’s my main being a Alienware. [www.alienware.com](http://www.alienware.com) . If you are going to drop 3g’s it may as well be there. And the winner is me!!! I piss the farthest…lol :p:
