Mac or PC?

I was just wondering what people use generally.

I'm using a PC it's windows XP dual monitors with dual 5.1 surround sound speakers. Here's the picture of it. You can't see the external HD on top of my tower because I use a sock to cover the light that shines. It's to bright when i sleep so i just cover it up. I like PC, but I've been thinking about getting a Mac as my next computer for awhile. I like how mac's apparently don't get many viruses, and i'm not much of a gamer these days. The only thing that really bugs me about mac is the single button mouse, and of course that they're more expensive.

PC, Windows XP....

I think I recognize that sceneary from one of your movies Andrew?! Think it was the 5facts video?

Hey Andrew?! How can one get to do that video? Is it like somone have to "challange"you trough a vid or somthing on youtube? It looked like fun

I run Vista and OpenSUSE 10.2 on my computer -although I mainly use windows for everyday stuff.

I'm getting a macbook soon to replace my current laptop.

I remember that... it is pretty cool Well Mac seems to lose in the race... I dont have too much problems with Mac... although the MACs are lacking many of the plugins and stuff which is available for Windows in many cases... Otherwise the only thing I like to have is a PC. I seriously hate typing on a laptop and a laptop cant be upgraded too much... you spend a whole lot of money on it and it goes out of fashion in almost 6 months.

I only have a study computer not much of a speciality ( Compaq Presario with AMD Athlon 64, 3800+, with only 250 Mb which is painfully not enough and by the way I still have a huge white 17' screen, it is fr. heavy)

2 monitors? Nessacery*...Lol!

Actually you'd be surprised at how helpful 2 monitors can be. If you like to multi task like I do, it will make you life SO much easier I use one display as a primary monitor and the other as and info display showing me things like MSN, Itunes, video players, system resources, sound options, and sometimes i'll browse the internet and watch a tutorial video for say photo shop on one monitor while i'm using photo shop full screen on the main monitor I love it, I don't think i could go back to one monitor anymore. I always felt like i was limited with 1 monitor before. Sort of like if you only had on hand Having to monitors feels like having a set of hands, one helps the other and it just makes things so much more smooth! Anyway, that's just my opinion though

I can agree with that, actually 4 monitors make life even more easier. My father-inlaw have 2 computers and both of them has 4 monitors attached to each... you can imagine how his office looks with old big monitors...
I admire his drive he is practically blind but he can still uses that many monitors.

How do you attach a second one anyway?!

You usually got 2 connections on todays computers.....

It's hard to answer this question since I love both PC's. I'm currently running a Windows computer with Windows Vista Ultimate as my main computer before I buy a Mac Pro. I use my computer for music and other stuff, and the reason why I want a Mac Pro is because it's pretty much one of the fastest processors out there. It's amazing for music, which is what I'm going to use it for, and it's a VERY powerful computer.

If I were to pick an answer then I'd certainly pick both. Oh and by the way Andrew, nice setup you have there. I have the same wide screen except mines black, 23", and it's a Gateway.
