Both these men died on the same day. Who changed the world more?
Depends on your age, the popular culture that molded your perceptions, your budget, what you think "more" means, if "more" of anything can be judged to be better than less of it, and ultimately if the question is important to you, and if you can value the influence of one life over another.
My recollections of Charles Napier are fonder, deeper, fixed in prepubescent years festooned with hippies and drugs and rebellion and war and sexual liberation. Napier’s Adam was a TV representation of a generation's search for something every generation searches for, but never quite as colorfully as mine did.
Our value is collective. None of us have meaning apart from each other. The reason we hurt each other is because we don't understand that (or each other).
Headin' out to Eden
A sidebar on the difference between Mac people and PC people: there is a general trend, by no means always true, that Mac people are visually oriented and PC people are aurally/orally oriented.
Good writers and artists and musicians of all types find both platforms helpful, but if you're in a digital industry, you know how the personalities usually divide. If you must have the best design tools and feel like you are working with the best (that is important), you use a Mac. If you like to look under the hood and move things around and see what breaks, you use a PC.
In my experience, writers that are more concerned with presentation use Macs. Those that care more about the words use PCs. (It's it's a sliding scale, of course; it's not about creative and noncreative, it's about the type of creativity.)
We reach.
