Ween you off two different mouse buttons.
how do they right-click? 
they have a two buttoned mouse, its just a slightly different design than the windows mouse, making it easier to misclick, but looking better. in short,
macs look good
PC's are good, superior software compatibility, upgradable, familiar, compatible with your existing uni/collages network/software

Yeah at my school they have macs and the mouses are really small so they will give you hand cramps... I never had to right click though I wonder what I would have done

People who have macs and claim they got tons of viruses and computer crashes on windows didn't protect their system properly. Opinions.
You should make that a new thread but Im gonna say YES to that. Cus like the only time Windows has ever been shitty with me was because I didnt do virus checks and I was just generally being careless with it. My laptop crashed just once and it was because I was messing with the registry. Other than that my lap has been good to me. I dunno why people complain about Windows so much.

Macs can't get viruses.
Idk, they're just awesome and convenient.
Because you can make movies on imovie, make and record songs on garage band, and take sweet pictures on photobooth.
it can.. there just isn't as many viruses for Macs.. at this moment,,

macs can get viruses, just as easily as windows machines can....the difference is nobody would write a virus to infect 10 people when they can write one to infect 10,000.
I've had a mac for years and I've never had a virus once .. ?
That doesnt mean they dont exist. Safari in particular has several exploits. And as it was said, who is going to waste their time targeting a smaller market share? The whole point of a virus is to get it to spread to as many people as possible. If you are targeting a smaller group of people, its not going to spread nearly as well.

Though it is correct that part of the reason the macitosh has less viruses is due to it's low user base, it also has a unix opperating system, which is much harder to write a virus for.

Actually, most devs find writing for unix based OSs easier. However, a majority of devs are used to writing for Windows NT based platforms. Besides, exploiting doesnt really involve writing a program, rather it involves writing for the kernal of a system, and since Unix systems are EXTREMELY (pretty much entirely) based on command systems, it allows alot more room for exploits.

I'm on my MacBook right now and what I like the most about it is what others have said...it doesn't get viruses and so far I haven't gotten spyware, either. I don't really know why but it's really convenient. My friend's dad is a certified professional in Windows and he said that most viruses that infect Windows "don't know what to do" when they reach a Mac system. I don't know if that's true, do with it what you will, but I love my Mac. I recommend it.
