Dave Hurt is on a distinguished road
The reason I say Win9x is no longer used is because you can no longer buy a machine with Windows 98 or ME on it. It's not used in the sense that 9.x is no longer used. Sure, people still use it because they don't want to upgrade due to money/hardware issues, but for the most part the OS of choice for PC's is Windows 2000 and XP.

And Matt, you were correct. I just think it's silly to go on about the failures of 9x and ME, then go to say how much better OSX is.

And the reason I say the only reason you should get a mac for graphics is because that's what they do... they can't handle complex computations like PC's can. The only thing they do better then a PC is graphic manipulation, and PC's are very quickly catching up.

As for the switch commericals... I think Penny Arcade summed it up nicely... http://www.penny-arcade.com/view.php3?date=2002-07-12 (Sorry if it offends anyone, I though it was funny I know Tycho can be little harsh on some issues, but sometimes I agree with him)
