Can we not do this again.

I'm a Windows user. I have Vista and XP machines. I hate Vista but still use it because my customers do and I need to be familiar with the OS. I have never had problems with viruses on either operating system because I don't do dumb things.

Macs are great. They are simple to use. Hard to go wrong with them. Yes they are overpriced if you are looking for a cheep computer but when you get to the higher end stuff not so much. Their support is great if you have a Mac store in your town but I have heard numerous horror stories about their phone support (but that's not any different than most most PC companies.)

But that plain fact is this is a Windows world. That's why I hate to recommend Macs to students. It good experience to get used to what you are going to use in the work world (including the pain.) Having said that you can't go wrong buying a Mac.

See how simple the choice is?
