Mac VS PC

One thing that truly grinds my gears to no extent is the argument of "Mac VS PC"

At the end of the day it doesn't bother me what people choose, whatever they want to use is up to them so it's all fine and dandy, BUT, to argue Mac or PC is wrong!

Why is this wrong?

PC!!!!

Let us look at the definition of pc yeah? (you don't really have a choice i'm posting it anyways)

Wikipedia defines it as "

A personal computer (PC) is any general-purpose computer whose size, capabilities, and original sales price make it useful for individuals, and which is intended to be operated directly by an end-user with no intervening computer operator."

wow, it says NOTHING about the operating system!

BUUUUUT! i know how people don't like the stigma attached to the beloved Wiki, so what about dictionary dot com?

"personal computer  

noun a microcomputer designed for individual use, as by a person in an office or at home or school, for such applications as word processing, data management, financial analysis, or computer games. Abbreviation: PC "

So when people argue over Mac vs PC they're pretty much saying that a Mac isn't a personal computer, right?

I know it's not something to get all riled up about but it just adds to the animosity i already have toward Apple.

The real arguement is MacOS (the current version would be Lion) and Windows 7, it doesn't flow off the tongue as much but it's at least correct, everything after that is matter of Opinion (mine being that MacOS is the spawn of smugg people adjusting to an overly complex OS, but that's for another rant).

Lets' just hope next time i over hear someone say the whole "Mac vs PC" offense God totally gives me the patients i need not to lose it,

Later days.

  1. Gotta hand it to Apple's marketing department.

    I mean, they convinced people that their product was something else entirely. They must be pretty smart.

    Or the consumers are stupid :]
