[sac-forum] Re: Mac vs. PC

Mac vs PC... Ford vs Chevy...

To bring some relevance to this dichotomy, I'll say that the choices in astro software for the PC far outweigh the choices for the Mac. This alone has kept me from using a Mac for this hobby. I know you can use emulators or virtual machines to run PC software on a Mac... but why?

At work I use PCs, Macs and UNIX. I like the Mac (OS 10.3 and later only) for certain things, just not astronomy. But, that's just me.

All,
This is off topic, although an operating system for astronomy is relevant especially since this forum is supposed to be open to a wider spectrum of discussions.

Jeff Hopkins has always bragged about having a MAC instead of Windows. I never took the alleged superiority of a MAC over Microsoft very seriously, but now I do. Below is an exerpt from a person where I used to work who is head of tech support and maintains the LAN. This person is very competent.
