I love how you didn't deny that you were getting viruses from shady porn sites.

Let me just say, my antivirus program has stopped about five viruses since I installed it, and with the exception of one, they have all come from legitimate sites. Why? Banner ad services. They are notorious for having no scruples, even the ones trusted sites sign up with. First it was malware masquerading as useless applications (Zwinky, anyone?) and now it's Flash ads that have malware built right in.

Another reason I'm proud to be the owner of an ad-free website.

Oh, and that other virus? Somehow got attached to the setup file for BitTorrent. Which was easily enough deleted since I had already installed and didn't need it anymore.

If you treat your PC right, it will treat you right. With Mac, you pay nearly twice as much for significantly less physical hardware performance. Like has already been said, you can get a PC to run nice and smooth if you are good to it, and there are some good video programs you can pirate for it such as Adobe Premier (just be careful where you get the torrent from of course!).

Macs rule ^-^

But then again, I'm a great proponent of BeOS and RISC OS powered computers too

See, you're learning! That's good!

Except of course in this case it's just a link to Ebay, but hey, it's the principle that counts.

Interesting... I use a PC for the most part, yet I'm typing this from my iPod. It's like watching galaxies collide.

I might post something semi useful when I'm not typing on a virtual keyboard at about 15 words per minute.

Postin' from a Mac.

Really, I just really hate Windows, and I wanted applications to work, like Photoshop. Hence, Mac. I used Linux for a year, and as much as love Linux, it has its problems. Ah well.

Liking pcs is just a matter of how much you know about computers. If you know how to fix things on pcs, they're much better; more to do, and more customizable. Macs, on the other hand, are so straight forward that its pretty hard to mess anything up. Admittedly, mac has some better programs when it comes to media, but its not like you can't get something impressive with a pc (ie, torrents).

In conclusion:
Work computer + Lots of money = Mac
Fun computer = PC
Fun computer + Work computer = PC + Knowledge

I still don't like my PC. I been treating it well for 6 years and all of a sudden it crashes on me. It sucks! That's why I want a mac; you don't have these kind of problems.

No matter what what peoples views are on this, it sounds like you're stuck with a pc for a while as it is. Perhaps it would make more sense to just pinpoint those problems rather than having just another PC/Mac war.
Is it you're (not a family) computer? If you want, I could walk you through bringing you're pc practically back to factory status.
