You should use a PC if that's all you ever use and that's what you like. You should use a PC if you need to run AutoCAD because it's not good on a Mac. You should use a Mac if you like graphics or audio or video, or if you have no preference yet. From my years in computer support, the Macs crash less often. Once configured properly, Macs don't crash without severe provocation. Macs have many resources to get running smoothly, like newsgroups and Mac FixIt. So if you don't like computer crashes and you do like ease of use and a good price (Apple prices have dropped a lot), consider a Mac. Browse these links for more reasons.
