There was a time when I absolutely hated Macs because they were nothing more than a trendy item pretending to be a computer. They were underpowered, very simple computers that looked cute sitting on the desktop. That has since changed and Macs can now be had that are just as powerful as PCs. The expandability still isn’t there, but I don’t think it ever will be since Macs are, like I said above, the idiot proof computer solution. That is my biggest complaint with Macs right now. I build all of my machines and they are constantly evolving as the technology changes. The fact that I can crack open the PC and change any of the components in it are a huge plus on the PC’s side. In my eyes this should be the definition of a computer.
I also find it funny when Macs users like to say that their machines never crash like PCs do. I have crashed more Macs then I ever have PCs when pushing the machine. This is where that “idiot proof” title I gave the Mac and not the PC comes into play. If you know what you are doing, adjusting, tweaking, and changing then the PC will crash very little, if ever under normal operation parameters. Most PC users with the constantly crashing computers have no clue what the hell they are doing and in many cases are the cause of whatever made the PC crash. The Mac holds your hand during almost every operation so the non-computer savvy user has very little chance of messing anything up. That is where the Mac shines.
