A battle is taking place between a friend and myself. You may've guessed that it is about...

Macs vs. PCs.

Guess what side I'm on? I need fuel. Finals are coming up and I am not in any way able to search the web for this. I can't lose, as you all will realize. This is pride, this is Mac. Does anyone have a link to the mhz Myth video that Apple had? Very good stuff, there.

This is a waste of time. That debate has raged since the beginning of time. Just like the religion debates, no one will ever convince the opponent that they're in fact wrong...

ugh.

Yes, but it sure is a fun game... and that's why it's in this forum, by the way, so it IS portinent. I hope that's a word.

The fact that XP's design was copied from OSX is argument enough.

"Pertinent," actually. I'll let this topic stay for now. But if it strays to far from being game-related, it's off to Just Chat.

That reason seems a little thin -- I can call religion debates a game too if I really wanted to -- but I'll let StarStrafer's decision stand for now ...

uh, almost everything popular about PCs has been copied from Mac, and then Microsoft added bugs to it that the next version will fix (along with bringing in a whole new pack of bugs)

oh, and the people at microsoft use Macs anyway.
That's what they said in an interveiw.

You need to get two similarly powered machines side-by-side and both do a series of tasks, timed. You can argue about it all you want, but if the mac can accomplish the same tasks in a 3rd the time, there's not a lot you need to say.

Not true. I converted someone from PCs to Macs. Granted, it took me the better part of eight years...

untrue... lightwave runs slower on Macs than PCs... which is rather unfortunate.
