but i never hear Mac people calling their hardware "PC"
so what do Mac and Linux users call it?
:blink:
Apologieze for wasting your time :ph34r:

Do linux users call them boxes? :unsure:
i have no clue
Mac users generally refer to the name of the box - eg G5 etc
I believe Mac users use the cunning and somewhat misleading term Mac :unsure: to describe their mactypepcthingy. :)Quote:

As far as I know it's to do with hardware, and not the OS.
Linux users use the term PC too, as far as I know.
And mac users say mac, 'cos they are weird.

maybe one day your in a bus, or a bar
and you dont realize that it is filled with Linux or Mac users and you mistakingly
use the Wrong word to describe their hardware....
