A Mac will def be my next choice of computers when the time comes around. I have heard few little negative things about them. Seem to be a solid machine.

That is TOTALLY cool with me. The fewer people online with them, the less of a chance of people creating viruses and all the rest of that crap for them.

There is a bit of a learning curve. But with Parallels and Boot Camp, you can have the best of both worlds (MAC OS X and Windows) until you become a total convert. Here is a tiny, tiny screen shot for you:

Same thing I have heard, however they said (my co-worker) that once you get use to it, its easy to nav. There is not the problem with having crap trying to update eveytime you log on. Maybe Santa will drop one off this year.

Apple makes a great computer, and we use them at work next to windows and linux machines. But just to clear up that misconception, OSx needs updates as often as windows. Along with regular patches and hotfixes, OSx is on its 6th major release with upcoming Leopard.

Wow, I wasn't aware of that. How costly is it to upgrade each time, and is each computer sold the latest and greatest version? Thanks for the insight....Jamie

You shut your lying Bill Gates fellating mouth.
Sure we get updates, but not to fix Hillary Clinton sized gaping holes in security. And we don't crash when the weather changes.
