Re: Mac's SUCK!!!
I have a PC and a Mac at home, but it wasn't always that way. We bought that Mac years ago when my wife was a teacher. We couldn't afford a PC and a Mac at that time so about the only games I was able to play were the Diablo series, a few RPG's and some niche games from spiderweb software. Plus I actually had to share our lone computer with my wife...
Fast forward six or so years and now I finally made a PC that I can play all of the games that I want to on. My wife can surf the net and play the games that she likes on the Mac and I play my games on the PC. Life is good. :9
As far as what platform is better? A Mac or a PC? I would say it depends on what you want to do with it and who it is for. My wife loves using the Mac and it has never crashed in the six or so years that we've had it. It's a G4 and I upgraded the processor a few years back so I could play some newer RPG's on it and UT. All I've ever done to it is keep the software updated and it has pretty much taken care of itself. My mom uses a Mac by my suggestion because she wanted to use a computer that was easy to use and she didn't mind paying the Mac premium.
Now what computer is right for me? A person who loves playing games and likes to be able to upgrade and build their own computer and has access to 90% of all of the software on the market? Not to mention that I can do my office work on it if need be. So for me, it's a PC all the way. If I somehow won one of those new G5's, I would sell it on Ebay and use the money to build a new PC. :9

9) Also for my laptop, I love replacing the AC power socket after I walked over the power cord (again!)
10) One of my favorite games to play on my computer is "Which Windows Is It?" when I have zillions of windows open. That Expose thing is just cheating.
11) Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow squares just pwn a boring grey Apple
12) The Apple Cinema display is just too awesome -- if they were really a hardcore company, they'd make it only work with Macs.
13) There's no sense of adventure in having a profoundly fault-tolerant OS
14) I enjoy having my computer participate in zombie bot-nets
15) I'd feel unloved if I didn't have tens of thousands of malware programs dying to get on my HD.
16) Websurfing wouldn't be thrilling if I didn't have thousands of spyware programs lurking behind the next click in IE.
17) The mouse only has one button (even that stupid Mighty Mouse! Have you seen it?)
18) What's up with all this Airport stuff? I bet you need to buy an Apple$$ acce$$ point$ to even connect!
19) Command-shift-3 to take a screenshot? Where's my third-party program!
20) ZOMG! How do they get by without a Pause/Break key?

FYI the current MAC mice appear to have 1 button, but they have 2/3 and some other stuff that isn't too bad. It just doesn't look like a typical Windows based mouse.
Also #7) and 12) is the same so your list is incomplete. :P
And you see why I say it makes no difference which you use? There are pros and cons to both MACs and PCs. MACs tend to be more build so anyone can use them easily without any problems. That means they don't have as much crap so the OS appears to load faster and some things appear to run better, it's just the MAC typically has more resources available to run the same things because it is simplied and looks ugly. (I'll admit Leopard doesn't look bad, but I still prefer Vista.)

Exactly, which is why I said what I did above. I'm going to school currently to be a Graphic Designer and this is pretty much all we're told GD use, some use Windows, but mainly because that is what their clients use and it makes transfering some files a little easier for the ones that have problems going cross-platform.
I still dislike the Mac overall...but I don't have as much of a hate for it as I use to. Now I just hate how ignorant some people are, blindly arguing why 1 OS is better than the other.

My biggest problem with Mac is the Users. They typically know so little it makes me tear up.
I am a Deskside Support PC Tech in a Hospital. ( I go out and look at their PC when they have issues and fix the issue or educate the user on how you really do what they are trying too)
Yesterday I get an urgent call to the OR. The PCs in 5 different rooms have all lost their Network connection. Our Network guy was doing upgrades in the IDF (hub closet) the day before so I know they issue is going to be ports on the switch set to the wrong VLAN as they have Network connection but not getting IP addresses but I need the jack numbers off the wall so I know which I am dealing with in the closet. (For those that are so nerdy to care they were plugged into a VLAN that is for the few Static IP PCs we have left, and not the DHCP VLAN wherethey needed to be)
The room I am in getting the info I need Happens to have a Open Heart surgery happening so I am kinda in a hurry. THIS is the time someone on the surgery team decides to ask when we are going to get rid of all the PCs and switch to Macs because Macs NEVER have issues like this, and it is only a matter of time 'til we all see the light and join the Mac Cult.
It took every ouch of self control to maintain a straight face, stay quiet, and nod. I know where in the pecking order I fall and it is WAY underneath any Physician that might take offense to bad vibes in is OR room.
