hmm, Windows and Linux are operating systems. Mac, like Dell or IBM or Laptop are computers.

Both Mac & PC. Both have their advantages and negatives, however I am impressed with Apple.

Actually, the best choice against virus is... intelligence ;)

It's not that Mac is the best choice against virus, it's because it's useless for a virus programmer to target 7% of the population :lol:

Oh, obviously I sold my soul to Microsoft...

I pay the rent because of them, so I love them ;)

So obviously I run a PC with Windows XP Professional... if the type of cpu is what you want, it's Pentium IV clocking at 3 GHz, with 1 GB of memory, and, hum.. 400 GB of hard drive space.

As for Macs.. to be honest, I didn't play enough with one to make a judgment over them, but I keep being bugged by the fact you can't right click with them, which is sort of the way to work with a PC...

I feel the same way. Not being able to right-click drives me nuts. It's such an automatic part of computer usage for me now; I think it would be hard to adjust to the one-button format.
