Why would people who don't care or don't think about computers spend more for one that, as you say, does less? The average person owns a PC. Not a Mac.

Well it doesn't do anything more if you ask me.
Why did you spend more on a mac?

Edit: To answer your question; Probably so they won't have to think because their Apple thinks for them, whether they want it or not.
Some people don't have problems with that. I do though.

I won't be visiting the Apple site anymore for this topic by the way. It really makes me angry. The prices they dare to ask, the statements they make when you enter a store, so you keep buying their crap with their computers, even though it's all the same with an apple logo on it. I really see that company as a an awful thing... It really does make me very angry.

I don't own one at all. I just prefer them, which is what the poll says. I use them at school quite a bit and have used the laptops in class when trying to teach people how to use Photoshop. When I DO get one, I will get a Mac. And it's quite simple: I simply prefer them. I went on length about it a couple pages back with RVCA. I don't wanna go much further into it. This is the first time I've actually went back and forth with someone on here. Like a "debate" or something. I promised myself I would never get involved in one because I feel they're a waste of time. After all this talking, what has changed? Not a damn thing. God I am a fool.

EDIT: If you wanna say something else just PM me. This wasted lots of pages.

That doesn't matter man, I already knew that from the beginning.

Oh I don't. I just hate debating. It reminds me of angry people on the news. Two people. Back and forth. Oil and water. It just doesn't make sense.

You must have realized by now that debates are purely for personal gratification.

I think this thread is actually one of the tamest "Mac/PC" debates I've ever seen. People usually seem to get surprisingly emotional about this particular topic for some weird reason. It's always seemed pretty silly to me since it's basically the equivalent of one person getting worked up because someone else prefers a different brand of toaster from them.

Oh they are. And I never get gratification from them. Just spewing words about why I like what I like. Then someone says what they like and why. And then sometimes it can get heated. But then sometimes people will change their mind. The only thing I know is that they're not for me. Can't say I'm a fan of words. Imagery, music, fragrance > words.

Oh I know. It's unbelievable.

I don't think you should be painting Mac users or people who just like the system with the same brush. Just because I own and use a Mac doesn't mean I don't care about computers. Sure I'm no technology expert but I'm pretty savvy when it comes to a lot of things. I don't think about my computers at all in a material sense - it's just another thing that I own. But when using them, I want the computer to think with me and not for me, if you know what I mean. Keep in mind that I use both Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7.

He wasn't trying to insult anyone, but there's a good reason why, for example, practically no one at computerforum.com uses a Mac.
