If I were you... Alright, I'll give you very brief informations on the two systems. Well, I admit that a Mac is much easier to use(All you need to know is how to play with a mouse.), and I personally like its smooth design. If you are a music lover, you would save money buying a Mac since sound board is already built in. Weak points: If you don't spend a little fortune, you would probably get one which is painfully slow. When a Mac breaks down, you'll have hell of a time trying to figure out what's wrong. It's not easy at all to correct the problem because you don't have a direct access to your operating system. A pc, I strongly believe, is often the best choice for any types of work. It's fast and efficient. I'd say using a Mac is driving an automatic, and using a pc is driving a manual. Driving an automatic is convenient, but you can't experience the joy of manipulating a stick to get the best performance. There are abundant softwares available for pc, so most of the time you can get the program you want. Oh, and... when a pc breaks down, you can easily solve the problem because you can clearly see what is going on. Weak points: You have to study a little bit of DOS and some other utilities. The design sucks.. (It's like, okay let's take a box and put the HDD here, FDD there, etc. ) If you want some nice music from your pc, you need to buy a sound blaster. The built in speaker is unbelievably BAD. Well, what do you think? -Phantom of E Mail
