m0ok, thanks for those useful comments. Yes, I’ve used a Mac a few times, but need to play around with one a bit more to find out how they “think” and work. I do have an iPod, which is gorgeous and wonderful, so that helps me appreciate Apple’s intuition and design. After having used Windows I would find it a bit odd not using it, so that it can be run on a Mac is good to know.

Macs can even boot Windows these days, which directly deals with what used to be the killer blow to most PMUs*. And very well, I might add.

I’m a software developer working with Microsoft technologies and run resource hungry applications like Visual Studio .NET with no problems whatsoever (other than the usual problems you’d equally have running the bugger on Windows). We used to have a Mac and a PC and this allowed us to replace them both with a Mac.

It does feel perverse developing applications on my Mac that will run solely on Windows PCs.

And in addition to all that worky stuff, running Windows allows me to play Half Life 2 on my iMac. *Ahem*.

The MAC guy is a ex druggy, who can’t be relied on for anything! He always blames other people, does what he wants and couldn’t careless for others feelings!!!! Where as the PC guy is reliable, does his job well. He’s always trying to do the good thing and his main flaw is he doesn’t try things which are dangerous and silly, which are bad things for a person but a plus for computers!

Silly advert but the peep show is very funny!
