Mac or PC - Which side are you?

mrgeekindpink @mrgeekindpink (19) • Philippines 16 Oct 08

Brand competition among these two (2) are still blow by blow. If you have the money, which one will you buy the "Apple" (MAC) or "Mr. Bill Gates" (PC)? And why?

8 responses

markymark18 depends what you use it for... MAC has always been loved by graphics designers, animators, etc. It's also a brand and fashion icon. But I'll stick to the PC for all the variety of software and tools, GAMES, and for business needs due to compatibility...

markymark18 use the 'safely remove hardware' feature... if that fails, it's either a rogue process in your computer, or otherwise your removable media is spoilt. do check the hardware settings for data cache as well. disable it if it helps.

What is your sense of humor?

Sheepie @Sheepie (3112) • United States 16 Oct 08

markymark18 toxic avenger is labelled as a horror/comedy? i think some people use humor as a psychological defense system to escape from other emotions, like fear, sadness, guilt, anger or hatred... sometimes it's a thinly veiled guise to hide our true emotions... i...
