   PC stands for "Personal Computer", and Apple was one of the leaders in   
   bringing the term "personal computer" to the public, so there's already one   
   strike against you there.   
      
   Second, you missed a few things - video editing sure, but also music   
   editing, photo editing, movie editing...  most anything that requires   
   editing for any sort of media, actually.  Sort of widens the field a little,   
   doesn't it? (BTW, how many Windows editing apps have been awarded Emmys for   
   tchnical acheivement? Apple's got one with Final Cut Pro...)   
      
   Macs also have the edge over Windows systems (not "PCs") in total cost of   
   ownership, longevity, stability, security (did you get the latest Blaster   
   patch installed yet? I didn't, because I have a Mac), ease of use...   
      
   0 out of 10 for style, 1 out of 10 for content (you spelled everything   
   right)... all in all, an incredibly weak flame.  I don't think that could   
   even soften a marshmallow, let alone brown it.  But your ability to compose   
   complete sentences in proper English puts you a step above others in the   
   past, so keep trying!
