PC - Mac or PC - View Post

Wow, I can't believe the people who think you can't right-click or use Word on a Mac. Mac's have always had Word and have supported two-button mice without third party software for at least a decade.

As to the complaint that Macs cost too much, they cost roughly as much as any other similarly powerful retail PC that you would get from Dell or Lenovo. You're not complaining about the cost of a Mac versus a PC, you're complaining about the cost of a retail PC versus a custom PC built from wholesale parts.

One final word to those who tout superior Mac security: Don't get too comfortable. It was a long honeymoon, but malware targeting Mac OS X has finally been seen in the wild. I'm not saying you should rush out and buy an AV program right now, but following the same best practices that PC users should follow would be a good idea. Don't click on any suspicious links and don't enter in your password unless you're dealing with a trustworthy program.
