    Not really quite the same though is it,its like wearing a pair of nicks instead of nikes.

    Without wanting to start an argument (all too easy when talking about PC v Mac!), is it not the stability and ease of use, where "everything just works" that draws you to the Mac (all of which remain the same when running Mac OS on a PC) or is it the alluring design, too?

  • I have a ps3 and I agree. they are so much better xbox's. I currently have a sony vgn-nr32m laptop costing £500. I saved up for it and bought it with my own cash. I would love a mac but I don't want to part with that much money just now. if you want it save for it, especially when you're young. Im saving up for my own car so that I won't have any debt and every time I drive it I know it will be 100% my own.
