Mac Or Pc?

I have a Mac and i like it so much better then a PC

[Mojoshog]

I think Macs are still way to much money for comparable speed and memory you could get on a PC. Also there is much more software for PC and it tends to be less expensive also. So the PC gets my vote.

PC.

i can't live without copy and paste. 

LOL... what? I have a Mac & I copy & paste all the time.

I've had my current PC for 5 years and it hasn't crashed once.

It's not the computer, it's the person and whether they know how to care for it or not.

Gotta disagree with you there... I have had a PC that has never crashed on me since 2002 when I got it, & I have had a Mac that never crashed on me since I bought it in 2005. That just means I got good machines. My boss bought a Mac & had to return it because it had problems out the box. My brother bought a PC & has had nothing but problems with it from day 1. Much like cars, computers can have "lemons."

I much prefer my Mac to a PC. I prefer the interface & the machine in general. And I LOVE not having to worry about all the viruses & problems that PCs have. I can't really think of anything I have used a PC for that has been "better" than on a Mac, or that I have preferred.

It's fairly rare to have a hardware issue out of the box.  Hardware issues typically arise when people change/do things they don't know much about.

Mac has a more user-friendly interface, less bugs, and less viruses have been scripted for it. Good for beginners. Which is why they're common in schools. They're also expensive. PC's are cheap, buggy, complicated, and eventually end up virus-ridden. My kind of computer.
On the other hand, PCs support more software than Macs because of their high popularity. You can get software/hardware for them anywhere, whereas Macs actually have specialized stores for them. There's a Mac store on the Kstate campus, I love it. If you're a gamer, Macs don't even compare, due to the fact that PC's actually, in my opinion, are higher on the performance end. With the development of Windows Vista, no one in their right mind would even CONSIDER getting a Mac for gaming.
But seeing as while I've gone through about 4 or 5 pc's while my Mac-loving relatives still have the first ones they bought, some over 8 years ago, as far as quality over time is concerned, Bill Gates can kiss my 
In my personal opinion, Mac is better, but given the amount of gaming I do, I'm condemned to buy Windows forever.

The more mainstream Macs become, the worse they become.

i have always wanted a mac, i'm just not ready to commit. i'm not a gamer so, that's not an issue. i'm just very impatient (i won't ever read/use directions that come with products when i'm assembling them). i wish someone like bestbuy would offer mac days for a demonstration on the mac system. I know they will show you a few things on the sales floor but, i need to give it a try for a bit of time, myself. that is what i'm afraid of: getting it home and being so frustrated trying to familiarize myself with the new system that it will end up enduring some abuse - from me!

PC for sure! I have no idea what the blue screen of death is anyway...

 I was nervous about going to macs but it was so worth it and if you go to an apple store they have a 1 on 1 where they meet with you for 1 hour of uninterrupted time with a specialist where you can get to know your apple product they also have free workshops where they have open presentation for a class to learn about the products just a heads up

Thank you... i will look for a location. i'm in rural NY - i'll probably have to look somewhere closer to Albany for an Apple store.
