I'll make it really simple for you. iMtG is made on a Mac.
Mac it is.

Macs are nice I am a pc person but they are nice but I can buy a decent car and pc for the same price

I think a PC is fine for a computer.
For a phone? Iphone. Music? Itunes. Hand half gaming? Ipod. (jk it's gameboy advance haha I had ya there didn't I!).
I like a pc. It may have viruses but I like it. :)

I thought Apple was the Ideal Capitalist situation.

Cummunism works on paper.

In my experience I have found Macs are better for people who have a fiscal agenda, people who are trying to make money, or people who are in school. PCs are better recreational computers. They are better for gaming and customizable to the user's preference. Neither is worse by design. Just gotta ask yer self.... What am I gonna do with it?

In any corporate situation where you need an enterprise solution. Windows machine wins hands down. It's not what hardware it runs on (IBM Mac etc) it's the operating system that makes the difference.

Motherboards in PCs are made in the same or adjacent factories as Apples products as are pretty much every electronic device we own.  I don't think that's a good basis of comparison.

I don't know how many times I've had this same conversation with many different people, and it always ends on the same conclusion.  From what I've seen, they both have their strengths and weaknesses.  Macs seem better at video/audio/photo editing and creating awesome things like iMtG!  But, PC seems to be used for someone who is in to playing Skyrim, Call of Duty, etc (Me!!) and maybe using it for some lesser projects.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is just the way I have noticed it.  And hey, Starcraft 2 is amazing on PC and Mac!  SC is awesome because it is SC, not because it is run on a Mac or PC ;)

Thing is, Mac is one whole cohesive product.  All Macs of the same type will (should) be consistent.  PCs are piece-mail assemblies from multiple different manufacturers.  PC A could be very different from PC B.  (Not all PCs are made equal).

And thats the beauty of both of them!  You can make what you want of a PC, but a Mac will give you what you need to get by until things get more advanced, but offer more security.

Has anyone ever built a Mac?

I know plenty of people who built their own pc.

I see that as good and bad. Putting together a PC can give you driver problems, resource allocation issues, hardware incompatibility. A Mac was designed as a unit and works as a unit. It's behind in some ways because everything has to work as a whole. But I think you get something more reliable and consistent from a Mac. (to be clear, I swear no loyalties)
