Look this is an age old battle, but the truth is Apples market share has increased over the past 5 years because, not only are people seeing that MAC's are more aesthetically pleasing to the eye but there also easier to use, and are not bogged down with gigs worth of useless software such as spyware and antivirus. PC users today consist of either business men and women who are forced to use PC's because there isn't yet an Apple equivalent program available, or the other type of PC user who has just been using PC's so long and so blindly there afraid of trying anything else. Some you to will realize the truth about which is better...it's just a matter of time.

Not only do MAC mouses right click but you can preset the Mighty Mouse and Magic Mouse buttons to perform various functions or open specific programs with each click. So again this is just an old stereotype from a PC user who never tried a MAC, i'm telling you guy's goto your local MAC store and really use and get shown a MAC by one of the guy's and you'll never want a PC again. haha ive used a mac smart one...i dont like having to hold a button down to right click how about that? When did you use a MAC 10 years ago, because you can right click on a MAC mouse and it's right click functionalities are there. You're going by what you see aren't you ?..LOL MAC mouses don't have or need individual buttons, the mighty mouse has 2 side buttons, 2 top click buttons and a scroll ball that also clicks, thats 5 buttons performing different functions. The new magic mouse also has all of the above but it is a perfectly smooth "Touch Pad Mouse" it has a top surface similar to an Iphone, so all you do is tap your index finger or middle finger to right and left click or just slide your finger down the mouse to scroll. However yes i am the smart one, because i've known this for years now and your just finding it out.
basically saying that you pay more for an apple computer that you would for a PC but the apple's hardware is inferior.
Is this true?

At the local apple store i can get one of those worktops or whatever they called, those with the hardware in the monitor, for 2000$, and that was with a 9200 geforce, 2gb ddr2 of ram 120gb HDD, and 2.2 intel duo i think, one quick at the internet and i can get a rig with a 1tb 7200rpm hdd, 6gb ddr3 kingston, a intel core i7 2,66ghz x 4, an ATI 5870. Heck my laptop costs half the price of the mac and it has better hardware... do i REALLY need to explain any further why i think macs are obsolete?
Look at the specs of my MAC i listed because they are superior to the ones you listed and that is in an Apple Imac, which is the all in one MAC you were trying to name.
They are basicly targeted to people who know nothing about computer hardware. Just like Alienware

exactly, the difference is though if you buy a lets say... 2000 dollar mac computer, if you payed that money at alien ware you would a computer that is leaps and bounds ahead of the mac computer.
Except you'd be stuck with an inferior operating system that is loaded with antivirus and spyware and is in constant danger of getting viruses, not to mention the usual update pop ups, error messages and so on. MAC's price tag buy's you peace of mind that you can never put a price on.

Snow Leopard is far from flawless. Macs have system crashes, kernal failure and number of other things. I've never had an issue at all with Windows 7, and I'm not here claiming perfection because i'm not that naive or uninformed as you appear to be.

I have heard on other forums at least mac users calling snow leapord the vista of macs. A lot of people are "from what ive heard this is all third party" suggesting you just stick with leapord.
Snow leopard is not only buggy, it's unnecessary.
i haven't had any problems with Snow Leopard so i don't know what bugs you guy's are talking about.
OSX is not better it's just different. Every OS has its flaws.

Umm not really no, sorry but OS X Snow Leopard is flawless, i have not had one problem, error, crash, nothing, thats just the way it is on a MAC.

I'm not uninformed or naive, i used to work on PC's and they gave me, my friends and family nothing but headaches, error messages, pop ups, viruses, antivirus and spyware glitches, i've converted 16 of those friends and family to MAC and they still thank me to this day. So i'm not bragging or being naive, i did here that Windows 7 is a much better accomplishment then Vista and i'm happy for PC users, however i have worked with both platforms PC & MAC over the past 20 years, so i am speaking from experience and i have not had one problem with any MAC i've owned, but the same can't be said for my PC's that i've owned and i always bought new computers never used so i always had the latest model of each. Windows was just always the inferior operating system, it's just the way it is, sorry if you can't realize that, but if you goto your local Apple store and spend some quality time with the latest MAC's you might understand what i'm talking about.

No it's not true my MAC cost $2000, and it came with 3.2 ghz Intel Core Duo processor 4GB DDR3 RAM 1 Terabyte Hard Drive 24 inch screen, resolution 1920x1200 Nvidia GE Force GT 130 512-ram video card Super drive DVD Burner Built in Wi-Fi USB and Firewire ports Computer and Keyboard made with Aluminum Alloy not plastic Mighty Mouse Software includes The latest version of OS X - Snow Leopard along with I-life, i-movie,i-photo,i-tunes, i-DVD and the best integrated included video chat program on the market...I-chat Not to mention programs like Time Machine, a phenomenal inclusive back up program, and Front Row the program that allows you to see all movie trailers that are currently being shown in theatre's across the country right there on your MAC. All this on a computer that does not have or require " ANY " antivirus or spyware software on it, a computer that is immune to any and all computer viruses. The reason's that possibly some system wars members might bash MAC is because they either are just pro PC and rescent any other form of OS on the computer market, or they might not be able to afford the higher price tag so they bash it out of anger, or it could just be that they know that the PC platform has the larger gaming library and this is a gaming forum after all. However i was an original PC user from about 1985 until 1998, then i tried my friends MAC Performa for the first time and never owned another PC since and i never will, so it's all what you prefer or are willing to try ,or accept i guess.
Lol you think macs are immune to ALL viruses.
Yeah they are, find me one link or picture with a MAC that has crashed from a virus.
