The commercials are getting ridiculous. I don't hate Macs, but I'm certainly not inclined to purchase one over a PC. "My Mac produces a Bimbo, while your PC produces a man in a dress." Like a Mac is going to make the person shooting the film a better cinematographer, editor, or make their job a whole lot easier either way. It's time someone brought the truth forward.
Yes, I own a Mac. I've worked with them for over three years. No, I'm not impressed. Paid double for it than my newest PC of 6 months. The PC has never crashed any programs (except for when I made a bad programming error a while back) The Mac, however, is going on it's 50th+ crash, it's nearly brand new, and the instability lies mostly in ... get this ... graphic-oriented programs like Photoshop and Illustrator. It can't handle simple (100kb) files and simple taks like unoutlined text movement without crashing completely (and randomly, without saves in this process) and presenting a very canned error.
Naturally, this can't be everyone's experience with a Mac, after all, I'm sure it works well enough for little projects that make the individuals happy. Unless all I wanted to be able to do is surf the net, e-mail, and make some home movies, I'd build my own PC, and recommend anyone else do the same (or have someone you know and trust do it for you.) I just don't think it's better for anything, and by the time you get done paying for a Mac that can do basic film editing without slow down, you could've bought a PC with an excellent pci-express graphics card (or two), 2 gigs of ram, a 200 GB harddrive and a license for Adobe Premiere.
