Actually I'd figure that Macs could be compared to Ultrasone Edition 9s. Some people like it, some hate it. Some think it's vastly overpriced, others love their investment to death. And PCs? Well, since they can be built yourself, they can be any headphone in the world, including E9s.

That doesn't make any sense to me. I won't go into detail as to why it doesn't make any sense to me.......but with assuming you run windows on your PC, there are still limitations. Then you can run linux....there are still limitations.....and etc. With Mac there are also limitations. By inferring that a PC can be basically anything or any quality, you are essentially saying that theres nothing better about a Mac that a PC cannot do. And thats absolutely not true even if you are Microsoft fanatic.
I use both PC and Mac on a daily basis. I use a PC at work and a Mac at home. In my opinion, there are very few benefits to a PC, but I see many benefits to a Mac. First off, I dislike Windows. I find the interface of Windows to be non-user friendly, particularly Vista. With Windows, the bootup time of my computer is tremendous....while my mac takes 20 seconds to boot up. Meanwhile I have far more files stored in my Mac than in my PC. Next.....theres all this virus protection and spyware you need for PC. What's that about?
Every time I use my mac I find it to be a pleasure, and the new OS (Leopard) has some drastic improvements and features which I don't think Windows has yet.
Another benefit to Mac which maybe not everyone can relate to...is that in NYC where I live theres a 24/7 store on 5th avenue. If I have a problem at 4 in the morning, I have the option of meeting with a technician immediately. I've never had a problem on a mac though.
Anyway.....the analogy didn't make sense to me.
I think Mac's get a bad rep from PC geeks because Mac's tend to be more cosmetically involved.....not everyone thinks theyre better looking computers, but Apple definitely puts more time and effort into creating a cosmetically appealing piece of machinery......something may look trendy to someone who takes the computer extremely serious.
For gamers, I'm aware of many benefits that a PC offers. Who Cares......hahaha....video games are not my interest.
For Protools and many graphics programs Mac has a vast amount of benefits. That's what I care about. Besides everything else.......I like supporting Apple. I think theyre an amazing company and they are great at making fastworking and reliable products and software.
