Bob, I know you've been anti mac for a while, I've been using Macs for 20+ years and even with some problems I would choose them over a Windows machine.

I have been a tech for PCs for 20 years, was authorized HP and Dell, worked on Servers, High-end Desktops, and Laptops.
I have seen more problems with Windows machines than any other.

Picking a Computer is a personal choice, and you should make that choice with as much information as you can. Whether you choose Windows or Mac is a personal thing more than a "this is better than that" argument.

I know die hard "Windows" users who never have any major problems, but that is because they do what is needed to keep them "clean".
