Dear Fellow Audiofanziners!
I have just published today our treatise on the
PC vs. Mac debate. I must say our Editor Los Teignos did a great job considering the sensitive nature of this topic and the difficulty involved in providing a balanced view.
I am not sure where you stand on the subject. But I was a Mac owner only once, back in the days when those heavy bulky machines only had a B&W screens. Still, it was on this ancient beast that I first connected to the online world. Since then I have been an avid PC chic. Not really sure, but the whole Apple semi-elitist mentality does not sit well with me. Sure the machines are classy looking (to go with the classy price tag), and on some parameters perform better- but hey I was never a classy chic ;-) ! Blue collar all the way.
I prefer to subscribe to the use it or lose it mentality of PCs. I don't want to invest too much, get too attached or worry too much about my PCs. They are a workhorse I can throw around, and when they are done working (after about 4 years) I just chuck them! True, there are security issues. True, Windows as an OS is really not god's gift to the world of operating systems. So I just install a strong anti-virus, brave the onslaught of spam, and wait for the latest stable reincarnation of Windows, or Google's operating system by that time....
Chater-La
