First off take no offense to this. You're a diehard Mac user, and I’m diehard PC user. So I’m going to make this friendly, I know you pretty well in RL so it’s not my goal to make you angry, or to turn this into a knife fight.

First off if he is going to choose between a PC and a MAC i feel that my post was to justify as to why he should go with a PC. Yes for some users such as you Macs are the better way to go, but for others it probably isn’t and the post was to justify that fact.

I would say that there is a good majority of people that play games on their computers at college, and PC the obvious choice to do so.

Limewire is good for audio, and that’s about it. I've been looking it over, and overall i'm not that impressed. Its speeds are good, but when it comes to context edonkey takes the cake.

For example a simple search on both edonkey, and Limewire for Jackass the movie. (i went with movies because that was more of a neutral ground, and something more people would be into) The searches returned 397 matches for edonkey, and Limewire returned roughly 50.

Yes you can run OS X and 9, but that’s about all you can run, if you're the type of person that needs to run multiple operating systems for various tasks, then yes go with PC, if not then the issue carries no weight in your computer decision.

Titan, i figured you weren’t the type to program with Macintosh (not many are), this was aimed at the software developers. Easier programmability= more software= more variety.

Floppy's i agree need to be replaced with Zip Drives as the standard drive, however
this probably wont happen anytime soon. When you need to setup computers, networks, routers, etc, floppy drives are great for transferring needed material.

As for me downloading OS X for you, just an offer I wanted to save you a few bucks. But please tell me do you legally own 100% of everything on your computer including your music? I am guessing no, it's the same principal as stealing music, just with software. It’s not like stealing an OS that is on less than 9% of the worlds PCs is going to destroy our economy.
