:-) Actually, there is a rather large set of things that they can't do:

But seriously, could you elaborate a bit?  I'm a Mac user, but wouldn't
claim that Macs are better because of my complete ignorance of the PC
world.  My impression has been that good software is available for both,
and what you gain with the PC is the ability to choose from a wider variety
of poor software.  For example, who cares if other WWW applications don't
have Mac versions, as long as Netscape has a Mac version.

What are some things that PC can do and Macs can't?
