Even at McDonalds, a Big Mac is inferior to a Quarter Pounder.

I use a Mac OS X Panther at work, and I have a PC XP Home Edition at home.
As far as using Photoshop on both, I haven't noticed any real differance. Except maybe it just looks nicer on the Mac.
So since PC's are alot cheaper I don't see me ever buying a Mac for home again. I still have my Mac clone, Starmax 4000 that I bought in '97 for $3000, ha! Now I can't even give that away!
Plus I think PC's are better for the internet.
Oh and Mommys Boy...I'll choose the Double QP over a BigMac any day!

I use Macs, basically because I always have, and they are what I am comfortable with. The platforms are getting closer and closer, though. I personally can't get the hang of a PC mouse, but I hear good things from people who can manage it.

It's reall whatever you like or are used to. If you grow up in a Baptist family, you'll probablly be Baptist. If Catholic, then Catholic. If you grow up in a Mac family, you'll probablly be a moron...ha ha, just kidding mac daddy's.

That's true Cynn, the two button mouse is pretty cool once ya get used to it. I keep meaning to see if I can get a one for the Mac. It's easier I think to right click, then to hold the control key down to get a menu, like in Photoshop to apply layer mask and stuff like that. Wonder if it could come with that little wheel thing like a pc mouse? That's much better for scrolling web pages.

I own a PC, always worked with PC, but would own a Mac if they were cheaper.

I have always dispised MAC's for many reasons - but since buying an iPod a month ago, I must admit that Apple has some design smarts.
Now if they can do something about the manopolistic mentality and drop the pricing by a few 10 percents I'm in.
(Since XP came out I've been much happier with my PC though)

You left out the "Anything but Windows" option. I use Macintosh on my Apple, and Linux on my AMD. Both are about equal at running the GIMP.

Windows is so much better!
That's why Mac rhymes with sh!t. Well, It actually doesn't ... but it should

The GIMP crashes a lot more under Windows than it does under Linux or Macintosh, therefore, Windows is the worst of the 3 for using the GIMP(which is better than photoshop *ducks*).

Yeah.. Macs are overpriced, but most professional artists I know (and professional musicians) stick with them. In my circle they're the industry standard.. but that doesn't reflect anything but my experience.
I have a friend who asked me to give her some training, in Photoshop. She has a really high-end PC. It went okay, until I tried to use the mouse as a paintbrush. It just didn't feel smooth, and it didn't paint right. Again, it could be a matter of what I'm used to. I don't like tablets, either.
