PC or Mac?

I have a PC, but MACs are so much better. They aren't as prone to viruses as PCs, and I like the MAC interface better.

Not true. They certainly don't get PC viruses, but there are viruses and spyware and such that will affect a Mac. I recommend installing some sort of anti-virus software on the Mac, especially if you are sending or receiving emails and other things from a Windows computer.

Ignorant computer users = prone to viruses.

I heard that as long as you don't watch more than an hour of porn every night, you can't get viruses.

I'm not sure whether Macs are better than PCs but my reasoning kind of goes like this:

1. I grew up with PCs.

2. I don't feel like learning how to use a Mac.

3. My dad works with PCs.

- I know this doesn't sound like a very good reason, but since he does that, I don't have to go anywhere to get my computer fixed, he just does it for me and does it well. Someone once tried to reason with me that in the time a PC ****s up 3 times, a Mac only ****s up once, but the three times I have to fix my PC, I don't have to pay a thing. In the one time I have to fix a Mac, it could end up being just as expensive as having bought the thing in the first place. This is a major turn off.

There are probably more, but these are always the things I think about when I'm trying to choose what computer to buy next. I guess I'm mostly just stubborn, but I've only had small problems with my PC, things that are easily fixable. I don't know what it's like to have a Mac, but I'm just afraid to change.
