rich_75034 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have noticed that there a lot of people that have both Mac's and PC's. I have both but my reason is simple, I'm a freak that has to have ALL the cool gadgets. I like and use both equally. I have most of the same software on both, so I just use whichever one I feel like using on a particular day. My question is why do you have both? Are there specific programs and or tasks that one can do but the other can't? Or do you have both just because (like me)?? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDreamX Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I'm a freak that has to have ALL the cool gadgets. :yes: That pretty much sums it up for me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PureEdit Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Mac only. PCs are pretty much useless to me, they do nothing I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilsbury Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Both because I prefer Mac, but, need an x86 machine for work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aldo Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Saving up for a Mac desktop. Well actually, I'm wating for an affordable (none-emac) one to come out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VGVL Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Both. I use my PC every now and then, mostly to play GTA3 and Battlefield 1942. (Battlefield 1942 for Mac will be shipping on June 2nd! :woot: ) I use my PowerBook for pretty much everything else. Like web browsing, checking emails, web designing and programming, SQL Databases, and gaming. (UT2004, WarCraft III, Halo and Call of Duty). I too must have every single gadget I can get my hands on. I also have an iPod mini (which I rarely use, because I forget I own one, but when I use it it's a pleasure to use), and an iPAQ 2215 which I haven't used in over a month. It's somewhere in my room, that's a fact, I just don't know exactly where. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krmathis Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have both. Simply because I switched to Mac 1 1/2 months ago and have not sold all my x86 computers yet! I actually sold my latest x86 workstation today, but I still have a Dell laptop t sell (which has not been booted for 30+ days). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the evn show Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have PCs running OpenBSD to handle server tasks because that is a darn good platform for that roll. Anything that someone might actually 'use' runs OS X. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rage Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 PC is used for file-serving, a bit of gaming if I get the chance (which is rarely), testing, DVD burning, backup, and that's about it. I use my Powerbook for everying else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Veteran Posted June 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have the Mac for video editing, as my PC has a habit of sucking badly when editing 10GB movies. I also use the Mac for general browsing and MSN when my Dad takes the Windows machine I have the Windows PC for gaming, e-mail and internet browsing/general use.

Si Veteran Posted June 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted June 19, 2004 Macs arent that expensive :s Why do people always complain? I would guess it's because you can't buy them bit by bit, and people have to save Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Yeah, perhaps. I mean, I should be getting the 12" PB soon-ish, and it's ideal, especially for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must admit, I think they are expensive, but then I've never looked that high at PC or Mac. iMacs are gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bling3k12 Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I have a Dell for work (manditory FrontPage usage... it pains me to use it :pinch:) and and the occasional Roller Coaster Tycoon fix :p Mac for everything else :) :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KeR Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 I use a Mac for surfing the web, checking email and storing digital pictures (that's basically all they are good for, well there are some games too but they don't run too great compared to the PC) and then my Wintel notebook for everything else. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See I think that's why people who like to upgrade all the time go for PCs. For me, it's just too tiring upgrading everything all the time. Especially as I dont play ANY games on the computer.
