A question that just has to be answered.

questions

Today’s challenge from problogger is one I like – Asking questions of your readers! I am a huge believer in interaction and participation (if you haven’t noticed on twitter), so I find that asking questions of my readers is a great way to learn. I have written a few ‘questioning’ posts in the past (I’ve asked readers to act, and test their creativity) and almost every post I write ends in a question. Actually, now that I look back through posts, I end every post with a question!

Anyway, back to the challenge. Of course in problogger’s traditional matter, he gives long descriptions on 10 reasons to ask them questions and 12 tips for asking those questions. The brief overview of why to ask? Interaction with your readers! Of course there are couple other reasons, like incoming links, answers can create new post ideas and they are fairly easy to write. The brief overview of how/what to ask? An answerable question that will benefit both you and you readers.

So, what question did I decide? The question that haunts the minds of all of us:

MAC or PC?*

My choice?  A PC. I love Vista (I am not crazy). I love my Sony Vaio (pink of course). I can run all the programs I need to run. And most important?  It was half the cost of a comparable mac!

So what is your choice? MAC or PC? Oh, and if you have a thought on the commercials, feel free to add those thoughts too.

*Hey, I could have gone with coke or pepsi, but I figured I should keep it tied to my blog topics.

    I’m relatively new to the MAC world, but I must say I like having both. I have a beautiful new (Nov 2008) 20″ imac which is great for media and photos and general use

    I use my Dell for tweeting, watching streaming media while I work on the Mac, or financial software.

    I love both! Love the commercial. John Hodgkins rules!

    Like you, I’m a PC as well. The reason being that, first and foremost, it’s what I’m used to. Second and secondmost, I pretty much can’t afford a Mac. As a 22-year-old online media guy whose primary focus is writing, all I need is an internet connection and Microsoft Word. In terms of the commercials, I’d say it’s impressive how Apple has done a great job of creating a disparity that progressed from an internal mindset to externally rabid fan devotion. Whether or not I can afford a Mac, I can certainly respect the brand loyalty they’ve built over the years. And I definitely wouldn’t be opposed to giving one a try when I actually make money someday…

    I’m a P.C. No reason other then, thats what I’ve always had and I am a sucker for familiar. The laptop I’m using is a Sony Vaio as well, although mine is a boring silver (you have pink! I’m so jealous)

    And, for the record, Diet Coke! All the way. I am shamelessly addicted.
