    yes, because the F4 button with the big speaker icon on it is hard to find!

    Well, I guess that's better than people who spend an hour trying to figure out how to turn on a computer. ;)

    I play a little Counter-Strike here and there, not sure how a Mac would run this. If poorly, not really a big deal as my current PC does as well. Like I said, I don't game much but if certain games won't run well, there are always other games that do. ;)

    I'm thinking I'm going to go with a Mac.

    I'm not too worried about learning the new system, it's always good to learn something new! ;)

    Sheesh, I got called a "he" and old in the same sentance ;)...haha

    My 4th Mac (20" intel iMac) just arrived from MacZone.com and once I get it set up, my lucky boyfriend will be making the switch from PC to Mac. He's excited to get my 17" iMac and kick his PC to the curb. :D

    I prefer my PC because it's a lot better for gaming. Of course, that may be because I spent a lot more money on it than my Mac :p

    As I see it, mac(the hardware) is more expensive than PCs. However, many argue that OSX makes the mac better. However, there's hundreds of good free open source OSes(including linux distros) to chose between if you have a PC. I write this on a debian dist.

    Hmm.. I'm not sure if computers is anything for you ;)

    I have always bought PCs for the fact that I can play games on them, but lately I a have been looking into buying a Macbook. They are so sexy!
