Poll: Mac or PC?

See left.







<------------------------

I've been in publishing and printing for so long, I wouldn't even know what to do with a PC. When in Rome...

We use PCs exclusively at work because the graphics and engineering programs we use don't run on a Mac. Because of that, I use a PC at home as well (even though I often curse Microsoft).

Mac has claimed she doesn't like to be used. Of course, we don't have any actual evidence...

I use both, but if you want me to deal with the annoyances that Windows causes, it's an extra 25.00/hour.

Yes, I'm a Mac user

I have never used a Mac. And probably never will...I like my PC just fine.

I'm a graphic designer so I only have macs.

I've been a Mac user since I was a lass. I occasionally use a Windows machine for something, but I try to keep that at a minimum.

I'm a graphic designer, and I only use PC. I don't know about now, but when I started out, Mac was not compatible to Paint Shop Pro and Word Perfect. I do my best work with those software. I've used PC since windows 95--and can't complain.

I'm an MS Access database developer. Since there is nothing on a Mac that remotely appoaches the funtionality of Access (don't get me started on Filemaker Pro), I use a PC.

I'm on a PC, but planning to switch soon.

I was gonna switch, too. But the cost difference really turned me off. I got a desktop and laptop from Dell for what it would have cost me to get a laptop with the same features from Apple. Plus, I love Dell's on-site service.

Of course, I'm not doing any graphics-type work, That makes a big difference, I think.

I've used both a Mac and PC for as long as I can remember. PC at work, Mac at home. I work on a PC, but I work with a Mac.

c) All of the above

Technically, most of my PCs and one of my Macs run Linux

whichever system you use, it should be this nice to you every morning. just type in your first name!

I prefer Macs (and have one at home) but they force me to use a PC at work. You didn't have an option for "swings both ways" so I voted for the Mac.

How about both?

I love MacAllister but I am also quite politically correct...

With the Intel Mac dual core you can run both Windows and Mac OS... enough reason for you to switch, I hope.

I use a PC but the next computer I buy will be a mac. I'm so sick of dealing with this windows nonsense. It drives me up the wall on a daily basis.

I use whatever works, but right now I've got a PC. I've used both at work, and I have to admit, there's no love here for either platform. My wife uses a Mac at home and a PC at work. No love for either from her, either. However, she doesn't complain about her PC at all. She complains about the Mac every now and then, though.

I have to say, there are some things a PC does better (switching between programs and windows, ruling the world), and things a Mac does better (playing music, doing graphics). I think if I had a choice, I'd rule the world.

I think my tagline should be, "Hating Macs since 1984."

A friend and I have a wager regarding the percentage of AW-ers who use a Mac.

Um...Dude...or Dudette...you are missing a third option...someone who uses BOTH.

Shadow Ferret, I agree with you!

I had to use a Mac all the way through school and I hated it. In high school though if there was any real work to be done, out came the contraband PC (our school board had an exclusivity with Mac).

Even if I did like Mac, I would have switched pretty quickly, the Computer Geek (a/k/a Hubby) knows nothing about Macs...
