The distinction between PC and Mac is one without a difference; they're both PCs.

I remember specifically using it because I wanted to test drive the Mac Scrivener which has more features than the Windows Scrivener. I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out how to perform a basic "Save As..." function in a different location than the Mac default. Husband came over to help, and another 15 minutes were lost. Eventually he got on his PC, and Google informed him how to get the Mac to work. I'd long since lost interest and gone back to Windows.

I just do not find Macs easy to use at all. Menus and options seem to be hidden from my Windows/Android-oriented mind. And given that there's one in my house that I watch being used from time to time and my parents have two iPads that they carry with them, I'm pretty sure the problem isn't that I'm unfamiliar with the interface. So I find these conversations interesting.
What I find interesting is the requirements that people who prefer Macs must be hipsters or some other name used in a derogatory fashion.

It's gotten really really old now. You guys are turning into parodies of yourselves. At this point we might as well drag amazon & copyright into it so Giggles and Jon can come and play. One big happy fighting family.
