Ignore him Gunner.
I thought it was now common knowledge that people knew Macs are more expensive for greater security, not performance.
Obviously he wasn't in the office when the news arrived.

Ah the great Mac/PC debate...
They are both tools (or fashion statements if you are that way inclined), do you go with expensive propriety hardware (that should not have incompatabilities) or do you go with cheaper (that can't be promised to work).
And then there is the OS debate on top...
It is all down to the software you want to run... me it's games so PC all the way though I keep flirting with the idea of dual boot and linux for web/email use.

I just hate it when people seem to have some pre-conceived idea that you know nothing!!
Mac's will be quite powerful with the new Core CPU's, they'll be as powerful as a PC equivalent, for the first time in about 10 years mind you.....
I prefer to build PC's for fun, great knowing you're using a machine ya put together yourself from scratch.
