Sue me for being selfish, but I want the best of both worlds. I’ve been a PC user all my life, and I still am. I just thought getting a Mac for work would make me more productive. With that being said, where do I stand in the Mac vs PC debate?

Allow me to give 12 random points about the whole PC and Mac thing.

  1. Nothing beats the satisfaction of building your PC from the ground up. It gives you a sense of accomplishment to be able to switch components when you want to.
  2. The Mac does not crash at all. Nuff’ said.
  3. The PC is tops in the versatility department (It’s easier to hide porn).
  4. When you upgrade your PC, you don’t have to replace the whole thing.
  5. You don’t have to upgrade your Mac. Hardware utilization and longevity is just amazing (I know someone who has been using her Mac for the past 5 years)
  6. Has anyone noticed the number of Virus Software and Pop-up blockers for the PC? That’s one thing I don’t miss.
  7. Can’t convert a file to the one you want on the Mac? Do it on a PC.
  8. Mac OS > Windows OS
  9. Software development is faster on the PC (In other words, piracy).
  10. The Mac “make you look better at the Starbucks” (Don’t ask me where I got the idea for this).
  11. Not relevant, but Ipods > Zunes
  12. And finally, the favorite, walang right click ang Mac — even though you can attach a mouse with a right click :P .

Quite simply, I cannot live without both. I’m sure there are a lot who feel the same way.

(As I write this, am looking to replace my current PC videocard, can’t resist Tiberium Wars any longer)

pwede magka-right click ang Mac. Don’t ask me how, our office uses Mac and we can use the right cick with a PC mouse of course.

Oh, and the piracy thing is a necessity for people in our field (architecture). Who can afford a software worth more than a Php 100K for his own personal use that releases a new version every 1 -2 years? A lot of the established firms in the Philippines cannot afford that also.

What does Alvin do?

Alvin JimenezIf he isn't watching, playing, or reading about basketball, he's probably on his PS3 playing it, using a created character patterned after himself.

Everything else you find on these pages is what he does in between.
