Why MAC?

Feb 1, 2012

Hi outthere...

Since this is the Open Talk Forum, I wonder if any of you will discuss with me, an ignorant, why everybody, well almost everybody, who are serious about photograpy, appear to use MACs and not PCs? I know nothing about MAC, but I am well versed in PC-use.

I know that there are many rather aggressive participants in the dpreview forums, but anyway... I'll survive some bad words... Like: 'This was discussed endlessly in 1989, why now again'...

So, should I buy a MAC?
