It'll be my pleasure to elaborate.

The amount of time I spend keeping my Macintoshes running smoothly is infinitesimal compared to the amount of time I have to spend just to keep my Windows PCs running at all, especially in the last few weeks, with all the accursed worms, viruses, malware, pop-up ware, and adware that can infect a Windows PC just by surfing the web.

Time is money. I'd rather spend it doing productive things like learning new stuff, playing Halo, looking at Goldfish Aquarium

or posting to this forum, than fixing Windows PCs.

Purchase price of the Macintosh isn't out of line these days either given the quality of the product. I recently priced out the parts to buy a dual processor 64-bit PC and it was almost $2500. For a few hundred dollars more I can have the top of the line G5 from Apple. :heart:
