Shawn,
Interesting to see how the responses are pretty much all in favor of Macs - is this just a rotorhead thing, or perhaps more to do with aviation in general?
Is it???!
What does this tell?
Maybe alongside the question of 'what do you use', should be the questions, "What is your level of computer competency", "What are your uses?". The MAC attracts users who want an 'idiot-proof', 'unbugger-upperable' computer.
There is a trade off...
Stability vs User Configureablity
MAC has one, PC the other.
However with competence, it is possible to acheive the same stability and speed as a MAC with a PC...and then you have the best of both worlds!
I am comfortable on both platforms, but much prefer the PC as I can tweak it much more redily than a MAC. Thus making my PC run how I want rather than how Microsoft / Intel want.
I also have much more access to programming tools using the PC. I have no need for graphics / video work. So for me the PC is fine.
I would however, probably reccomend a MAC to my parents...who are not so computer literate!
Yes, I was born to BBC Basic and brought up on DOS2.1!

P.S. I am not saying that MAC users are all computer-idiots...!
