Lol! Its not PC! PC stands for personal computer!
Tell that to Apple - they're the ones doing idiot commericials that actually say "I'm a mac, I'm a PC" as two seperate entities. So I'm perfectly fine calling non-macs PCs.
My sister is a mac user, she has her iPod and her iMac. My parents got her the iMac when she mangled her PC. We're not sure how she mangled it so badly (she doesn't play games at all), we couldn't even reformat the hard drive (and guys far smarter than I were trying to fix it for her). We suspect it was just loaded out the ass with virusus she got downloading mp3s. Now that she has a mac, no problems. She loves it too.
Basically, Macs are idiot proof. And using one makes me feel like someone had broken my legs. They're TOO user friendly. For someone who knows absolutely nothing about computers and deep down actually hates them, well, the Mac is perfect for you. Don't like detailed descriptive menus? Have some pretty pictures instead. Don't like knowing exactly what kind of files your dealing with? Don't worry, we've made that harder than hell to find. All those mouse buttons confusing you? All you have is ONE on the mac! Macs - great for fucking morons who are confused by anything more complex than a crossword puzzle.
Apple is really a triumph of marketing over content. OMFG AN MP3 PLAYER!!! HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!! I'll BUY IT!!!! THERE IS NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT!!! Jesus Christ, it's like they're selling to lemmings.
Don't get me started on the commericials, most of them are blatant fucking lies, or at best half truths.
EDIT: Gopher is right - Macs are genuinely better for any kind of graphics/video editing, I'll give them that.
