Once you own a MAC it will stay in that state until it dies. MACs work on just the one hardware platform. Easy to streamline your code with only one set of hardware variables.

Why is it they never bring up gaming on these ads? If all you do is surf and play music get a MAC. IF you want to work in business or game or be able to build your own machine, or hot rod your existing machine get a PC.
That's a huge myth perpetrated by PC users. Most business software is current with Macs, like the Office Suite can be run on a Mac. Furthermore, with Macs running the new Intel chips you can actually dual boot and run Windows as your operating system, so you can run any software that a PC can. Macs also have no problem networking with other PCs.

Be this as it may, I'm glad that Macs are continuing to be a well-kept secret. We don't need the viruses that PC users have to put up with.

Gaming on a PC is lame. I bought a console for that.
