I prefer the mac over anything else because your able to drag things and not have to worry about copying and pasting. The only thing I don't like is sometimes not being able to find exactly what you want.
i think that the macs are more easier to use, and it eever gets viruses. and that is always good. what i dont like is that on some days they go slow, but then again what computer doesnt. i like the mac. its easier to navigate around. the macs are easier to use also and they run a lot smoother than what a pc does, and there also nicer too
I Love mac... they are so schique and sophisticated but with many awesome extras such as garage band, itunes, idvd, imovie, iphoto, and photobooth...!! The only thing that seems to trouble me about macs is the fact that you cant transfer something from a mac to a pc easily if at all! Because they dont have the same programs and formats its hard to transfer files from one to the other! If i had to choose between and pc and a mac i would rather choose a mac because its all i have known my parents have raised me on macs so i am used to them but its weird to go from home running on a mac and coming to school running on pc ... the difference between these computers are HUGE!!!

I like the tool bar on the mac. I don't like that the suff is harder to find. I like the mac better than the xp.
1. I like the widgets, they are pretty fun to use and see what things you can do with them, translator, Google search, and Slot Machine. I also like how all of the programs are right down on the dock...it seems easier to find thins on the Dock rather than look for the icons like on Windows.
2. I actually can't think of anything I can honestly say I don't like about the iMac at school, however, if I had a Mac of my own (I 100% mine, not like the 24/7 ones) I probably wouldn't like the fact that I can't use some of my games and other programs on it.
3. Overall I can't say whether I prefer Mac or Windows XP. I like XP for all of the compatible programs (not to mention it's pretty much my favorite system for Windows). However if I were to do more demanding things, such as photo or digital editing I would probably want to use a Mac, they seem better equipped for such things. So I guess if I HAD to choose a favorite system, or one I liked better, I would choose Windows XP because I have used it for so long and know it inside and out.
There really isn't anything that i dislike about the mac. At first i wasn't quite used to them because all i had ever used was a pc but after a while you get used to them and i personally like them better now.
I like the macs because they seem more up to date with technology, i like the way everything looks, i especially like having the dashboard so you can change the computer to your likes and to me the mac should have the saying "it's personal again" instead of pcs. Pc's to mean seem easier to type on and play games, but for what i like to do which is mainly use photoshop and make movies the mac is a lot better to use if your into ditigal media things. Buy a mac.
I think that the mac is a lot better than a pc because you can do a lot more things on the mac. I don't have any dislikes, there pretty cool
What I like about the macs are all of the programs it has to offer and that it doesn't get viruses as easily. What I don't like is that macs don't transfer things the same to pcs. It's frustrating. A lot of places aren't as technology savy as OHS is, so it's a pain when you do something on a mac put it doesn't work on a pc. I like the macs a lot better; at first I was a little unsure of macs, but after using it for this class I definitely would choose using a mac over a pc.
I like the programs on the mac. There not too hard to use, but the macs tend to break down faster than the xp's. The only thing I will ever buy of Apple is the iPod, other than that, im sticking to alienware or dell. The cool thing about the mac though is there hard to get viruses on, but not impossible.
I like how the mac has more interesting things to do such as the dreamweaver. i didnt like how long it took to get used to it. but i like the mac alot better
I understand the xp's a lot better because i have used them for so long. But i like the different things you can do with a mac.
i like the different options that you have on a mac and all the different features it contains. I dont like the fact it took so long to get used to. I think a mac is alot better than the xp just cause you cant get a virus.
I like the programs in the mac computers. Sometimes i dont like how the internet is set up in the computer mainly because i am not used to it. I think overall i would prefere to have a mac computer.
I prefer the mac over the PC beacause I think that the graphics on the macs are better than the PC so your able to do alot more with things like photoshop, something I don't like is that at times the macs are slower at processing different things.
For me it kind of depends on what you are doing. I think the Mac is great just because it is so simple and easy to use. There is also a lot of programs for the mac. Even though the macs are easier to use, I think that xp is still good for some things. Gaming is one of the things that the windows xp can do that the mac can't (as far as the kind you can buy). I also like how xp is mapped out, such as the explore, where you can find exactly where your files are.
I like the different components on the mac, like dream weaver, photo shop, and garage band. Something that
I don't like about the macs is I don't fully understand them quite yet. So overall now I would rather choose the mac over the pc because the macs are just better overall.
I love the mac way more than the pc. I love how creative you can get with a mac and the fact they dont get viruses. They just seem like they should be in the Jetsons or something....not in our school!! (But I'm really glad they are!) The only thing I really dont like is the fact I'm more literate with the pc but hopefully that will change once I get my own mac!
I love the macs~!~ They are fun to use and user friendly. What I don't like about them is that they are hard to get use to, but other than that they are COOL. I guess I'm not sure what system I like better right now..
I prefer the mac because there are more things to do on it plus it has garage band. What i don't like about mac is that im so use to windows so it's harder trying to find stuff. I like the mac better than the windows simply because mac have more freatures then windows.
I really like the mac's unique programs, like photoshop, dreamweaver, and photobooth! At first it's just really hard to get used to the different things on a mac but it's just because I was raised on a PC. I actually would rather have a mac though!
I like using the macs but i dont the one thing i dont like about them is that i am still trying to figure out where everything is but the thing i do like about them is that you can do a lot of different things on them. I really dont no which one i like better because i no how to use the windows xp very well but i think once i get used to the mac i will like it better but i am not for sure.
The different applications. They are way better then anything found on a XP. Firefox and Safari are the only two things I don't like. I like both systems, however I like the Mac a little better.
i like the mac better and i think that it is a cool computer and it works easeirs
What I like about the macs is that they cant get viruses,(well they can but only like four are common for macs)they already have photoshop on them as like pc's you have to pay for them. Unless you guys download those programs on to them then nevermind. There graphic card is much much better then the pc's. They have a camera built into them and you can chat in a cooler sci fi of a way with macs that you cant (that I know) with a pc. What I dont like about the macs is that they are slower then the pcs in opening pages up. I didnt like them at first because they are so different then pcs's. well they kindof are alot alike but there stuff that is similar to the pc's but have different names to them (you know what I mean) I dont like that part. Which one would I prefer? Im not sure really because I like them both. If those 2 companies just put themself together to make one big computer company. Yes I know it would be a monoply but hey, live a little.
i like macs cuz they dont get viruses but i like the xp cuz i grew up with them and know where most stuff is
I like all the different applications, i don't like how the internet is on like safari and firefox, i like macs better.
I really like the macs. i like all the additional things you get with it. (the stuff isn't junk) I don't like how some of the features are opposite than that of a pc. Also, there programs are different, so its difficult to do work on both of them.
I actually would prefer a mac, because working with them at school, has gotten me more familiar.
I don't think that either is better because i like them both for different reason i am use to the xp but the macs are a really good because they dont have many viruses and they run farely smooth.

I believe that the Mac software is a lot eaier to use than xp. the whole "drag and drop" concept is something i fell in love with there is nothing that i do not like about the software, i love it all. the programs are fun and also very useful.
i like that there are no viruses that can affect the mac.
what i don't like is that there are really no right click on the mouse. and it seems like the macs freeze up a lot easier then pc. when you try to open a lot of files or somthing the pc can handle it and the mac freezes...
i like the xp a lot better just because im more used to it and it seems easier to use
I really like the macs. They seem difficult at first, but after you use them a while they almost seem easier to use then the pc's! I love all the extras that mac provides! So I would choose a mac over a pc!
I like the macs new dashboard its easier to find things and all the cool feactures that it gives to the computer. I like the part that they don't get viresus but I bet they will in the near future sometime I dont know for sure but it is possible that it will happen. I find that tring to find and do stuff that you are able to do with a pc you cant do with mac, it seems they lack on the internet part it takes for ever for a web page to open and everything about the internet is different.
It is harder to find things on the macs then the pc.
I understand the XP a lot better because that is all that I have used untill these macs at the school and both companies are good, and have a lot of good success.
I really like Mac's wireless internet functionality. It's so hard to do that on a PC. I wish it was possible to play cool games on Macs, but that will probably come eventually. I would say I prefer the Mac just because it is more user-friendly.
The things I like to do with the mac is that I like the way it feels to type, it's nice and smooth. I like how the settings are placed and you can just do so much more on it with the photoshop, illustrator, and many more. The things I don't like about the Mac is that it's too high tech for me. I just can't get figure some things out for the life of me. I like the Mac so far because all the other computers I have wasted money on just would break down in like a month or so and this one is still alive. Have a Great Weekend Mr. Peterson!!!
I think the macs are very helpful and way more convenient than the pc's. I also really like the fact that the macs have more advanced programs and more options for projects and such. I prefer the macs over the pc's, even though I am more used to using a PC.
I absolutly love the Macs from the way they look to the way they run! They are less complicated and way easier to navigate on! I love the dashboard and how you make it your own! I like having the toolbar right there with everything easy to find. I like how they dont get viruses very easily. The one thing I dont like is that they dont transfer very well from Mac to PC or vice /versa! But thats the only thing and I can live with that!! I LOVE the Macs way more then PC...thats why I have switched from a Dell to a Mac for my Graduation present!!! :):)
i like xp's better because they are easy to work with and the controls are different on macs on xp most of us now all the control and we are use to the icons
i am either way about the choices because i like the macs for certain things and i no how to use the XP but if i knew how to use the mac as well then i suppose that it would come down to liking the mac more than the PC or XP or whatever.
if i where to tally it up i would give the mac one for its cute looks. Id have to give the p.c. one, because you know where and how to do things, as for the mac its not as familiar. By that i'm not saying the mac is harder to use cause the things i do know how to work on the mac work really smooth like, so one more to the mac. The mac also deserves one for all the cool things it has. itunes. photo booth( come one photo booth is fun!)and lots of others. like april w said its awesome cause you don't have to copy and paste! so yep i believe the mac wins! ~kacey
