Mac vs PC

"Hi am a Mac and I'm a PC".... have you seen the comercials? Have you taken sides on this major issue of life?

I have been a mac user for over 15 years and I live and die by them. This last week I faced a serious challenge when my / churches mac laptop hardrive died. I have no problems with macs in 15 years, and this was a big one. Two days before Easter, planning a head to the discussion series, a lot of creative materials, e-mail addresses, church documents and much more untouchable. Man it was scramble.

I ended up using a Dell PC this last weekend (still using this Monday morning)to pull off the service. It was a lot tougher... really! I have to admit that the PC software did the job and did not lock up, but it but was really hard switching platforms.

With my laptop being three years old, a dead hard drive and growing visual and creative needs... we are taking a big step forward. This week we plan on purchasing a Dual processor mac. It will handle both the Mac creative stuff that I use, and allow the tight system that I have trusted these 15 years, and allow us to use some PC worship software. Many have enjoyed the friendly debate of Mac/ PC at Journey and I'm sure that it will continue. But for the record... we use a mac... that happens to be able to work with PC software. Now that I have that off my chest :)

Let me get this straight. Mac vs PC has nothing to do with McDonalds? I may have to get out more.

While I am not a Mac "fan-boy", I do admire Macs from afar. It would take a lot of getting used to for a complete switch, plus my wife letting me spend three times the cash for a laptop.

Ah well...glad you got it worked out.
