I usually use my pc for gaming, and my mac for browsing the interwebs...

Why, because your school had a really sh**ty old one with no RAM and no decent programs?

Yep

I don't really like them either. They're just too simple, if that's the word to describe it..

I had some at my school also. They weren't underpowered or lacking decent programs, I just didn't like the interface. The lack of a second mouse button/scroll wheel was annoying and the way they tried to simplify everything made it more difficult and annoying to do more complicated functions. Also, you can't upgrade a mac, which is a huge turn-off for me 'cus I just like opening up computers and tinkering with them.

If your only experience is from school, could it be because you never adjusted to the non-Windows UI?

Macs have supported multi-button mice since at least 2001, and have had first party multi-button mice since 2005. And what more complicated functions are you referring to?

Then why have I upgraded every Mac I've ever owned?

These times, Macs are just PC's with a TPM (trusted platform module, a little chip that says "I'm a genuine mac!") inside. You can install Windows and Linux on a Mac and install Mac OS X on a PC.

I adjusted to it fine, I just didn't like it.

I didn't know that about the mice. The one I used in school was a one button.

As for the part about more complicated functions, I'm sorta gonna have to go on a little tandem to explain.
One of the things I had to do on one of these computers was use a word processor (I think it was a Mac version of MS Word, ironically enough). Now, I don't know if it's changed since then (it's been some time) but the interface was pretty much blank. Well this is just fine if all you want to do is type and save crap, however the teacher wanted us to muck about with text properties and add images and do a bunch of other stuff. This was stuff I could do rather easily with the cluttered windows interface, I knew what all the little buttons did and how to use them. However, the mac interface was blank. I had to either navigate through the dropdown menus or bring up a little tool window that just floated around in limbo until you used it.

It's kinda like that analogy picture comparing the mac and PC to the tricycle and motorbike.

Well perhaps they can be upgraded, but I most certain the amount of customization you can have on a store bought mac isn't on par with that of store bought PCs (unless you get a Dell, lol at their nonstandard parts). Also, I like how everything is external on PCs whereas everything is internal on macs. Sure, you get the cool looking computer-all-in-one package for macs, but what if something (say a microphone or webcam) breaks? Then you either gotta open it up and fix it yourself, which is probably gonna be a pain, or send the whole thing in to apple. With a PC you just unplug the defective part, fix/replace it, and plug it back in.

MS Word for Mac is awful. Pages from iWork is excellent, and it's usually shipped with macs for a very low price.

I skimmed through this topic a bit.
The first few were a bit meh, but then I saw ROBOSHARK's one about stacking, and it made me LOL.

....Methinks we should just make a universal template for GTM Comic shenanigans, and then let everyone go crazy with it.
