Not to stir up the PC or Mac debate...but I'm copying this from my Facebook feed...it's pretty funny.
Person #1 is one of the biggest computer guru's I've ever met (and doesn't use Windows or Mac).
Person #2, I've never met.
I will admit Person #1 starts confrontational.
My comments in yellow.

Also how many of you "mac people" are in computer related majors and could tell me in technical terms why a mac is better? two words for mac people, user error...

Hi Person #1, I am a microelectronic engineer, meaning I know the inner working of a computer down to a microscopic level (and I am not even exaggerating). Any more stereotypical comments you want to make?
Because clearly this makes him know a lot about OS's...Person #2:

Although Microsoft is great for the "average user", most college student aren't average users. An average user would be my mother whose only computer interaction is email (and now facebook... ugh). College students have valuable files on their computers [and "average users" don't?] (which you could back up but your backup would be useless if your hard drive crashes right before an exam like mine did) [nobody is going to argue this...but as far as I know Macs have hard drives too...] and expensive software on their machines (which btw is available for both OS's now for practically everything).[your point?] The newer PCs are definitely better than what they used to be, but I still believe Mac's do a much better job of stability and performance. [Newer PC's? As opposed to older ones? Are we comparing apples to oranges? Nice way to generalize PC's...as if there's only one type.] My 3 year old macbook still runs just as it did on day 1 and has survived 3 OS upgrades. I would make the same choice again if I had to. Valid point. Although I have a PC that runs just as it did on day 1 and it's 5 years old...
I have nothing against Mac users, but come on, have a clue what you're talking about. Especially when you brag how qualified you are...
