My 600mhz iMac with iMovie2 is MUUUUCCCHHH easier to use. Think about it: PCs: Cheap, everywhere, crappy, but fast. Sucks at DV, sucks at audio creation (exception ACID Pro) Macs: More expensive, fewer around, high quality, fast, AWESOME at DV, great at audio creation. They ALSO do the 'day to day' email/web/word processing thing just as well as a PC. - Ca$h |

the problem is more expensive, and not too many around. not much software around, either. i have an EE degree, so i don't mind technical programs. i prefer them, actually, because you usually have more options than the "easy, 1-click" programs. more "friendly" graphical user interfaces = more memory used/processor wasted. if you're not real technical, then Macs are probably a good thing. i just don't like being limited.

At circuit city, that was always our Mac sales pitch "is this your first computer?" if yes, then a Mac was a possibility, if no, then we didn't waste our time cause we knew they would never be happy with one.
I guess it is true that a PC is more for the technical minded. Im an Electrical engineer major myself, and i am a PC user. All the computers at the school of engineering are PCs, and the graphics labs all switched to SGI workstations last year. |

Disagree. Who do you think is more intelligent, the averagePC user or the average Mac user? Duh. Easy answer. Also, since when is 'being among the few' and 'software harder to find' a bad thing?! LOOK AT WHAT CAR YOU DRIVE!!!!!! :P I have photoshop, ms office, and everything I need just like you. I have more programs than I know what to do with. As for PCs being more technical, NO WAY. The average windoze user is some dumbass 40 yr old who can't install a new HD. Head over to Macnn.com to see what I'm talking about.

Neons are better, if you drive anything else, you're white trash. Macs are better, if you don't use one you're a retard. Methinks you have an "I" problem. A retinal rectumologist could take care of that for you. Okay, let's just all admit that everything you have is better than anything anybody else has . . . that you are, by far, the superior intellect and the rest of the world is lowly maggot feces, unworthy of your presence and that we should just all, feel so honored that you would take so much of your valuable time to teach us ignorant plebes the finer points of all things. Now that THAT has been settled, could we just freakin' move on.

Oi, I just can't resist throwing in my 1.3 cents.
WinXP comes with Windows Movie Maker, a program to import sequence DV's, and the ability to output as well. It's just as "limited" I think as iMovie2. Most of the DV cards (even the el cheapo $30 jobs) will come with some sort of editing software anyways, such as U-Lead VideoStudio. PC's will crash, yes. Mac's will crash, yes. But from my clients' experiences, they all crash just the same. The difference, in my opinion, is support. One of my clients, a print shop, had MacOS 9.1 and 9.2 back in October, and couldn't figure out why it was always disconnecting to the Win2K server. For 3 weeks, we couldn't find the problem, kept checking the Mac settings, and the W2k server settings. It wasn't until the 4th week that Apple released 9.2.1 which fixes the built-in network card driver that would cause disconnects in large bandwidth environments. So for all those Mac fans, Mac's aren't "perfect". But neither are PC's. From a support perspective, when I run into a problem with a PC or WinOS environment, chances are someone's already come across it, and it's a relatively easy task (for me) to find a fix. For Macs, unfortunately, I can't say the same. It's the same story that I tell my clients when it comes to any hardware and their choice of manufacturers. Crap happens regardless of what you use, it's how they respond to it that matters. In this regard, IMHO Microsoft has one of the best websites for support and troubleshooting for their products.

hehe. I know what you mean... but I mean in GENERAL, the guy with the new car is going to be smarter than the guy driving the beat up 1984 cavalier.
