"Mac is better in many ways. Hardware is better. Screen is better. Keyboard is better. Mouse is better."
again... this statement is not entirely true... with PCs you have choice... so for example back in the days of CRTs, Mac monitors tended to be reasonably good Sony tubes in a Mac plastic package instead of a Sony plastic package... cheaper ones in the imacs, better ones for the G series etc... but for a PC, you could go out and buy a Sony Professional Series monitor which was as good or better than the ones supplied with a Mac (and in fact I'm pretty sure you could buy one for your G series Mac also, but not imac - this is why I believe integration is bad)... sure most PC users didn't do that + most bought crappy cheap monitors, but some of us did... I don't know who supplies LCDs for Macs now (or who makes their mice or keyboards), but I do know Apple does not make the LCDs themselves, and there are equally good if not better displays, mice, and keyboards available for PCs at not unreasonable prices (but higher than the cheapo crap)... it's about choice + I suppose you could say the fault with PCs is that knowledge is required to put together a good system...
that said, the aesthetics of Mac are well done + look much nicer than 99% of PC components... but aesthetics + quality are 2 separable quantities: the nice aesthetics don't guarantee higher quality! I suppose it depends on how one defines "better"...
I'm not trying to malign Apple - they are great for what they are + possibly a great choice for Stickman... but I do find the evangelism gets in the way of reality at times...
