    Question macs vs pc

    What do you use? I thought it would be interesting to find out if most people in the affiliate industry use macs or pcs.

    Why would affiliates be different from the rest of the computing World ?

    Check out your site stats and see what you get visiting:

    For me
    - MACs are less than 1% of machines that visit my site 755 (0.89%) so far this month.
    - Mind you that's better than the LINUX nerds, they're at 115 (0.14%) this month.

    The vast majority of the internet users use PCs with some sort windows operating system - because the competition keeps the price down and the GUI is easy enough to use.

    MAC and LINUX users make a disproportionate amount of noise because they're almost like religious zealots when it comes to computers ... but they just don't get that the rest of us are not interested in their computer nirvana.

    I'm also a PC fan, and I concur with Gooner, it seems most visitors to my site are PC fans as well.

    I have the best of both worlds. I own a PC but my Girlfriend owns a Mac. I must say, I do enjoy the Mac more! I started off as a graphic designer and I feel Macs allow you more freedom.

    And just in case you are on the fence, haha, I love these commercials:

    I have a Macbook which allows me to use both operators. Once I have updated my site on PC, I go to Mac Operator and check the site in Firefox or Safari.

    You know your site can look great on PC but sometimes it is not on Mac.

    So Macbook will be the ideal for an affiliate like me who has been quiet new to this industry. You can check your site on both operators.

    I have a Mac PowerBook, as well as a PC laptop. Macs were mostly designed for the use of graphic design, editing video, and website design.

    For my affiliate marketing efforts, I tend to use my PC to do this, but I do like to check how my websites look on my mac as well.

    PC and Macs were designed for different aspects of the kind of work you are in. Lastly, I tend to find that Mac OS X is a more stable operating system then on my PC.
