'eh..Macs are okay.  I prefer PC, but the department I work in uses a lot of Macs, so I kinda have to adjust and make due or else I'm stuck without a computer.  Luckily the programs I need to use are all running on a PC computer, at least for now.  But when I had to deal with friends Macs and what not I was a bit of a loss in terms of navigation and the like.  Not a huge leap, but a bit strange if you've never used one before.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is
still a beautiful world.  Strive to be happy.

You can't right click on Macs?

Nope, the mouse that macs use only have one click button.



You can always use a mouse that PC's use - with the two buttons and all - if you are uncomfortable with mice like the one above.

And that mouse is extremely old.  The ones people use now are clear and much bigger. >_<

I wouldn't mind the Macs, but both the advertising and the fanbase are snobby and arrogant. For example, the Mac ad on "entertainment". Yeah, as a PC user I can do fun stuff like spreadsheets and timesheets. And basically every video game in existence.

no major software??? firefox, openoffice, apache, mysql, php, the gimp, and a shitload of others...and guess what? There all free and constantly being worked on...there are thousands of games for linux, and large games like americas army and a couple other are making ports. Mac is a lot like linux since they both have unix base, but mac are a lot less reliable from my past experience.

PC is for procrastination at work.

First of all, clam down. Yes, I have said many times there are alternatives. You touched on less then 10% of the major software. I wouldn't even call that major software. Humm... thats odd, specifically remember changing that to say 90% in place of "no". People who fallow things blindly seem to always get hung up on details.
