Most usefull software on a PC is available on the Mac too. And you can swap saved files such as .txt .jpg .mpg The compatibility problem with the Mac now lies mostly with games. Which is why the usual argument for the Mac's viability as a computing machine, that "It's better for graphics," is now obsolete. Of course, that doesn't stop the Mac zealots from using it (the argument or the "cute" child's toy that's billed as a legitimate computer)...

The internal architecture of the Mac is far superior too that of a PC. It is faster than PC's for rendering graphics and is much more powerfull than PC's in general. (Remember too that the 3Ghz P4 is actually just two 1.5Ghz P4 processors. They are joined and look like one processor. The computer only uses the first chip (1.5Ghz), and the second one only kicks in if needed. Therefore you don't get real 3Ghz with that processor.)

Have I, being a person who has used both types of computers for graphics applications, ever noticed a difference? No, no, I have not.

I still support PC. As mac still need to have everything *just Mac* while the PC companies have all their software and hardware universal amongst each other. That makes PC more versatile. It does not matter what make or model you have, the progs will most likely work.
