Mac or PC? (quote, band, Computer)

Common sense applies here really - you can blame Windows all you want for viruses, but the reality is that it's the way you use your computer which is usually at fault. Don't click on dodgy popups, don't go to crack sites, don't use IE etc etc... and you'll be fine.

if people actually spent half an hour finding out free ways to protect their computers then there would be a lot less complaining

But Mac users on the whole like the fact that they are so easy to use, so they don't wanna be actually actively working out how to do things.

I've recently left a forum that was heavily filled with Mac fanboys. You should have heard some of the bull**** they used to say about Mac how they never crashed etc.

theres a mac fanboy on every block it seems. especially on college campuses, pretentious *******s that know everything.

I find PC'S are alot easier to work with. One of the art schools I applied to actually made Macbooks mandatory, bastards.

It may not be as easy, but its virus-free and totally customizable.

I've known plenty of Macs to crash, that's just a stupid idealogical belief the fanboys have.

The forum was for a podcast that actually went out live via a Mac and everyone of the fanboys were baffled when the show stopped and it was revealed the Mac crashed.

My point is that they crash a hella of a lot less than PCs.
