I didn't intend to come off as a jackass, and I hope I didn't Yomonte, but seriously, I don't understand why people continue to put up with all of the **** that PCs and Windows makes you go through all the time.
With a Mac you open the box, plug it in and you're done. Period. No viruses, no Y2K, no security patches, no downloading of drivers for printers or perifferials. No hassles.
I've owned Macs since 1993 and out of four of them, I've had a problem once. And that time it wasn't my fault, or a virus, or anything. It was a defective hard drive and logic board (about a year after I bought it), which Apple replaced with no questions asked for $400 (shipping/labor included). I basically got a new computer, essentially.
My brother and cousin both used to be Mac users and had to switch for work purposes ... and complain all the time and wish they could go back.
As Stiff said, its a little pricey at first. But when you add in all of the IT charges you incur getting your PC fixed twice a year, it is actually a better deal than a PC, IMO.
Go get yourself a mid-priced MacBook Yo, and kiss your computer problems goodbye for the next 10 years (when you'll need to upgrade to a new Mac again).
