from my experience, macs are good family computers. Viewing media, browsing the web, doing homework, etc.
but personally i prefer a PC because the whole computer to me is a big game. From hacking to cracking to chatting to whatever, i like to be all up in the guts of the computer. I do have a Backtrack 5 dual boot with windows tho but all im saying is i enjoy the flexibility to do what i want with my computer, even if i spend hours trying to dig deep into it to fix it, its all fun and games for me.
