Well, we all know what's best for us, but this analysis covers the whole gamut... 13 "slides"!

Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

Did you read the comments at the end?  They lambasted the article pretty good. smile.gif

No, not the first time. I read the article very quickly, and thought it was a little shallow and very biased.

There are comments on all 13 "slides"! The final ones might be the most entertaining to read. Of course, some of it is very low brow. rolleyes.gif

I must have missed the "debate" part, where was it? All I saw were unsubstantiated statements and opinions, many out-dated, about how great PCs are, especially if you build your own! smile.gif One of the only "published" trolling arguments I've ever seen.

That sums up my opinion of just about everything I have seen on that site.  I've stopped reading anything they 'publish'.

4 cookies all AOL related.

They make some obvious points, nothing new. I use PCs with windows and linux and Macs so either or is not an issue.
I've never join the platform wars, or the carWars, or whatever conflict is created to generate sales.

They're tools, and I find it amusing that people are suck in the muck over them.
My Craftsman hammer is better than your macTool hammer because it get more nails, or it feels better in my hand, or it matches the toolbag, or people think Craftsman hammers are Professional Grade like GMC trucks.

If your born into a PC house you will most likely be a PC person, just like your religion, you go with what you know and what is acceptable by those around you.Then there are those rebels with or without a cause, that just want to irritate someone. of course if your task oriented and need a special tool to do a job, then that's what you choose. I picked Macs for security back in the 90's, they've served me well. wink.gif
