i have an original thought, lets get into a heated and useless argument about how one brand of computer is far superior compared to another, i think it will be productive and we will all change our opinions to the correct one, because there is clearly a correct one

MAC RULES. People on windows may have fun with their viruses.

Since this is inevitably going to turn into a mac vs pc flame war, i might as well contribute my 2 cents. Mac's get viruses too, pc's are a better deal, i like pcs. everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however.

I'm apparently subconsciously anti-mac.

My brother had his for less than 3 months, then the other night on an airplane, while asleep, i swiped his beer off my tray table with an uncontrolled arm movement, and destroyed his macbook pro.

Every computer gets viruses, fucktard. PC's just get them more because idiots don't know how to use anti-virus and firewall programs.
