When it comes down to it 99% of Mac and PC owners just bullshit on the web, watch porn, and play music. I'm a computer tech that deals with a lot of customers so I think I have a pretty good idea of typical use.

With that said a standard user can buy the cheapest PC on the market and be perfectly happy. But I'm pretty sure having a Mac will get you laid. I simply can't think of any other reason to buy one.

 

Oh jeeze, all the leading faculty at my campus must have been laid SO many times by now.

I think he was being sarcastic about that

His real point was that there is no point to owning a Mac.  Your "leading" faculty must be old and easily swayed by the Apple ads.  I can almost guarantee that half of them don't even know some of the very basic features of their Macs because they simply use them for the very basic tasks such as MS Office, internet, and email.

 

Sarcasm was the whole point. . .

The use of Mac computers depends on which building you're looking at. For what I have to use the Macs for, you'll need to add stuff like Adobe (CS3 currently) Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, Soundbooth, After Effects (or Motion), Compressor, and Final Cut to your list to be close. In fact, I would say a majority of the macs have this kind of software on it for that purpose.

The campus is now updating some of their PC's too, I've seen new Core 2 Duo PC's (instead of P4) with widescreen monitors (instead of 4:3 ones). There are TONS of PC's though so I don't know how many they're going to replace.
