Sorry Shiri...I don't do the whole Macintosh/Windows flame war thing.
After all, they are ALL personal computers, no matter the processor/OS/etc.
in the box. I just prefer to work WITH my computer, not ON it. I see Macs as
tools, there to get the job done right...Windows systems are more like
hobbies, you can spend as much time working ON them as with them, and the
results are iffy at best. I spend my money in the way I see most wise-that's
Apple for me.
Believe me, I've used both professionally, I've taught both professionally,
and I've administrated mixed networks. Macintosh is the easiest and most
powerful hardware to configure and use, MacOS is the easiest and most
powerful OS to configure and use-the benchmarks don't lie. Even
Windows-centric folks like C|net have to admit that the Mac is a better
system (see:

even if they CAN'T keep their bias hidden after MacOS won their shoot-out.
So that's my 2¢ on the subject (and to get the ¢ sign, all I have to do is
press ALT + 4).
