Mac vs. PC, pt.1

So I’ve been considering purchasing a Mac (particularly today since my computer has caught yet ANOTHER virus and this time it won’t allow me to open IE to work AND it talks like a radio show or something on my computer!), but have many reservations because I really do love the freedom of a PC.  See PCs allow for more…personalization.  There’s a application FOR FREE to do anything on a PC.  You can customize everything, from icons, to sounds, to startup applications and default applications.  You also can do those things that….well, NOBODY is suppose to allow you to do, like download and save .flv files.  Macs are moreso for people who…are lazy.  They don’t want to figure stuff out, they just want to press and button and shit happen!  I understand this too!  The interface of Macs is so simple and clean, a kid can make a movie, produce some tracks and write a book about a frog and a pilgrim on it.  All before juice time.  You get in, you get out, you get what you want to have done DONE.  Just you have to buy a application for everything you can think of, and those applications start around $50.  But with all these joy comes pain.  Viruses.  Omg, you WILL catch a virus with a PC, that’s just the facts, so I hope you have a very strong virus protection plan to discover and shut that shit DOWN.  Now here’s where I start to wonder which is the better buy.  The equipment for PCs, you can get a very strong product for roughly $650-750 HOWEVER the necessary protection…$99.99 (anitvirus) +$49.99 (webprotector) ANNUALLY A PIECE.  Yeah.  Your Apple, $1000-1500, depending on your needs, but that’s the bottom line.  Damn.  Maybe I should be considering getting that MacAir a little hardier.
