Yeah, there's some truth, or at least "truthiness" in that. :)

Neither platform is perfect, that's for sure.

Mac vs. PC (PIC)

As a Mac user, I found this pretty funny because it's partially true - at least before the transition to Intel.

There was truth in this 2 years ago. Today not at all
Even 2 years ago this was half truth as many games were ported over to the Mac, you just had to wait a bit longer.

All the fat shooters just flyyyyyyyyyy on my MacPro ;)

Maybe, but look closely at the price on that page. That part is still true.

Not really either.

My main point moving to a MacPro was that it cost me 1000� less then an adequate powerfull Windows based workstation. And these days the current MacPros are even cheaper then when I bought it.

And then just look at all those ugly cables in the little comic strip

Check out this PC:

It's marketed for gamers, but that particular model isn't very efficient for that. There are more competent models with similar size and weight.
